Boho friends, I need help! Or, really, anyone who’s ever been to a music festival, particularly a country one. I’m going to Shaky Boots this weekend, a big country festival near Atlanta, and I literally have NO idea what to wear.
I’ve been to a billion country concerts, so I know what to wear to those. But this is all day, and it’s going to be super hot. Plus, I feel like a festival brings in another element of style expectations. I want to look cute, but I’m also supposed to be casual and young, wild, and free, right?
Since I’m not really any of those things, I’m at a bit of a loss. Here are a couple of outfits I wore recently that while not exactly right, might be on the right track. Maybe.
In this first one, I like two things: shorts and the scarf headband. Probably not these shorts or this scarf, but the concept works.
In this one, I’m in love with the skirt. It’s got a tribal flavor which seems appropriate for a festival, but the fit and flare still match my personality. Of course the scarf would not go with me; I’d like to not die of heat stroke.
So, what do you think? Am I headed in the right direction or way off track? What would you wear to a music festival? Let me know soon; I’ve got less than 48 hours to pack, and at this rate, I’ll probably need every single one of those. Thank you! xoxo

I vote option #1. Loveeeee that skirt, but with shorts you won’t have to worry about accidentally bending the wrong way, blowing in the wind, etc. Plus, I dig the headband.
I would just be mindful of the top you wear juuustttt in case you sweat. I don’t know if you’re a sweater, but sweatstains would put a damper on your trendy outfit. 🙂

I hadn’t even thought about sweat stains, Christen! Yes, you’re right; that could be a little embarrassing! 🙂 And I think you’re right about the skirt, too. Sitting on the lawn in a cute little mini skirt could be difficult..and also potentially embarrassing! Ha.
