Dream Trip: Bonnaroo Pt. 2

This is Part 2 of my Dream Trip to Bonnaroo. So, in the first part, I explained what attracts me to Bonnaroo, the bands I would see, and what I would carry around with me at this amazing event. Now the only aspect to fantasize about more deeply is what to wear.

I feel like the outfit you wear to any festival is as crucial as the bands you choose to see. Theres so many things to take into consideration:

• weather


• genre of music


• type of town


• type people

Now this isn't to say that you shouldn't dress the way you want, or that you should censor your personal style. But I personally wouldn't wear anything with long sleeves if the weather is going to be anything above 80 degrees. And I wouldn't suggest wearing cute strappy gladiator sandals to a metal show, because if you end up in the pit, your feet are going to be stomped on, hard. You also wouldn't see me wearing a short skirt in Oakland after a festival ends at 11. I also would not advise wearing any of those upside down cross jewelry to a christian rock show, just out of respect.
I'm not pointing this out to make you scared or nervous, I'm just suggesting to use some common sense. If your not sure about an outfit, bring a change of clothes. You'll get a feel for everything once you hit the parking lot and see all the people walking around.

Now, onto my Bonnaroo outfits! Bonnaroo is a 5 day event, so, I've made outfits for each day.

Bonnaroo day one by pocket_jess featuring Steve Madden shoes

I have visible tattoos, so spf is a must to keep them lookin' good. And I have gotten sun burned at festivals before. Not fun feeling like a piece of bacon outside under the scorching sun.
I have my own pair of the Steve Madden cowboy boots shown above. I currently have a obsession with cowboy boots, and you will see that in some of the outfits!

Have I ever mentioned that I'm also a makeup artist? Well I am, so I don't care how hot it's going to be, I'm putting on some powder, pot rouge, and lashes.

I am also very stubborn with my style. I love wearing black, even in the summer, so I chose a short black strappy dress, with a fan accessory so that I don't have heat stroke, and Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer so I don't have to worry about any powder or foundation melting off.
I'm also stubborn about shoes. I can't stand sneakers, and the only time you will ever see me wearing running shoes out of the house is at the gym. I love heels, boots, and flats, so I chose a pair of cut out black wedges. The wedge will be comfortable enough to wear all day (for pro heel wear-ers) and the cut out will keep feet from over heating.

GASP! No black?! Actually I have jet black hair, so the Universe is well! XD

If it wasnt for my tattoos, I'd feel too dainty to wear an outfit like this.

bonnaroo day 5 by pocket_jess featuring Repetto shoes

I don't know what exactly the straps do on these shorts, but they were so badass that I had to use them.

The gray beanie is to hide my inevitably messy dirty hair and the Ralph Lauren Hot is a great summer scent. Combined with a sultry purple smokey eye, your ready to look rocker-festival-chic and celebrate the last day of Bonnaroo.

Ah, now I must excuse myself to listen to some Kings of Leon/Norah Jones and daydream about Bonnaroo. But while I'm away in Lala Land, tell me that you think! Would you wear any of these oufits on your dream trip? What would you wear/worn to festivals/concerts?
