Festival Chic

I'll say this first, I'm not your typical festival girl. I like clean toilets, not portaloos. I like bathrooms, not open air shower blocks. I like hairdryers, straighteners and curling tongs, not 4 day old mussed up hair. I'm a girly girl, I like my home comforts and cleanliness. So yeah, placing me in a festival is basically just waiting for disaster to occur.
But for some reason, I absolutely love festivals.
I love spending the weekend in tiny shorts, long socks and wellies. I love the crowds. I love the little camping communities. Hell, I even like having cider for breakfast!
But what I always end up pondering about festivals is this, what am I going to wear!? 



V Festival, 2010 (I'm the blonde with the flower bando)
So, as you can see, face paints were a big thing!


So this year, I'm doing Leeds for the second time and I plan on taking a much better wardrobe than I did when I last went. But what exactly to take? I need new wellies and whilst I reallllllly want a pair of tall, pale pink Hunters unfortunately the purse strings won't stretch that far, so I'll be looking for a mock pair at a much friendlier price! 
Hunter wellies, £85

Now, I'm not usually one for coloured denim. I like my regular, black and grey denim but I'm absolutely in love with these cute, baby blue Daisy Duke-esque shorts. They're so summery and bright which will make a nice change to the stonewashed denim hot pants that flood festivals every year. Hopefully they'll be coming along to Leeds with me!

Shorts, £22, Topshop

I absolutely love this little vest, I'm a sucker for anything with a cute slogan. It'll look perfect over shorts or with leggings. Versatility is key for festivals as you aim to take as little as possible - otherwise you regret it as you trek to your campsite...


Vest, £7.99, H&M




I'm off to scour the web for more summery picks that'll no doubt be added to my ever-increasing ''festival clothes'' pile. I'll maybe see some of you at Leeds? I'll be the girl attempting to pin down her pop-up tent, aviators fixed firmly over my tired eyes with a can of Strongbow in her hand at all times!
