Off key singing, bad dance moves, sweaty bodies, cold brews, cheeky flags, rad #ootd’s, and new friendships are all things that come to mind when I think of ACL. Also, all my fellow cliche hipsters make an appearance and frown upon those who only know of the headliners. I may or may not be one of those walking cliche hipsters. We might never know.
I adore how creative people get with their outfit choices, and how you can go into a show not knowing the person next to you, but you’re sharing this experience together. The energy and enthusiasm from the all age tribe that goes to these events is a feeling you can’t just find anywhere else.
This year, I was only able to make it to Friday’s lineup due to duty calling. That’s right, work. Insert groan. Regardless, I am a die hard Radiohead fan, so going on Friday was a no brainier. Festival goers are some of the most creative fashion forward crowd around, so I knew I wanted to make my mark on the festival grounds while still being comfortable enough for the all day sun bath I would be enduring.
I shopped around and decided on black booties with gold hardware for my footwear choice. It was raining sporadically, and I didn’t want to take my chances in wearing sandals. In fact, I probably will never do a festival in sandals. Wet toes are never cute. I then wanted to a hands free bag so I could dance dance dance away, and a mini suede bucket bag with leather inserts felt just right. A floppy hat to keep my face from getting too sunburned plus a flowy, floral romper completed my outfit. I layered with dainty cold necklaces and for that extra festival touch, added star freckles to my face. How? Simple. Made a quick stop to Hobby lobby, picked up some star stickers and placed them all over my face. Valfre inspired star freckles had your girl acting brand new.
Its October, but the weather didn’t get the memo. To avoid dehydration, I fueled up with lots of H2O and Oktoberfest beer ;) I blessed the crowd at Major Lazer with my bad dance moves, laid down and let Radiohead’s syrupy music serenade me under the night sky and ate way too much at Torchy’s Tacos food truck on the festival grounds. Missing the other two days was a little sad but I don’t let it get to me. Till Next Year music babies 🖖🏼
