Festival Chic

Coming up is the Soundwave music festival in Australia. I'm not lucky enough to be heading over the ditch, however some of friends are, so here's my guide to looking the part whether you're in Australia's heat or knee-deep in mud at Glastonbury!

A cute pair of flouncy shorts for a little less of the usual hippy look, but still have a whimsical touch to them.

A bustier crop top is a must for those sweaty crowds, if you're not quite so fond of your stomach, team it with a pair of high-waisted shorts!

A maxi dress is a great option, and it takes up less room in your holdall - bonus!  http://www.shopbop.com/valley-rose-90s-girl-maxi/vp/v=1/1594927155.htm?folderID=2534374302177039&fm=other-shopbysize&colorId=32853





A maxi dress might seem like high maintenance at a festival due to its' long hem, but just
 tie a chic little knot in the fabric like so, and no worries about the hem dragging on the ground!






After the ticket, travel and accommodation expenses there might not be a whole lot of room left in the style budget, but that's where accessories come in! An easy way to update and theme any outfit, and with a one-size fits-all policy, there's nothing to lose!

A classic pair of sunglasses (if you're budget doesn't quite stretch to a pair of Ray-Ban Clubmasters then try these almost identical ones from Topshop!) http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=8635328&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=festival&pageSize=20


A mini-satchel is perfect to keep the necessities in: sunglasses, lip balm, keys, phone etc!

So there you have it! Just a few thing to set you apart from the crowd of festival-goers.
Happy Head-banging
