With only 2 weeks to go, it's official...we've got Glastonbury fever. Feeding our disease, here's a little blogpost focusing on...
It appears that we're not alone. With the season rolling around, our 'Little Shoppers' are out in full force to prove that there's much more to festival chic than looking like fancy dress/ a sweaty mess. Take a look at this...
Everyone knows that most festival-goers are prone to losing their phones/ keys as well as their dignity. Enter the 'bum-bag,' an accessory considered more Del-Boy wheeler-dealer than ever-so-chic. In the anything-goes arena of a festival, a bum-bag may become not only your new monetary Bff but can be considered pretty darn happenin' when paired with the right pieces [think floral dresses, tye-dye tees and hi-tops] Pratique? Tick! Chic? Tick! Houston, we have a winner!
With demand for festival shorts sky-high [or should that be 'thigh-high' - L-O-L] anyone that would have predicted the popularity of the Simon Cowell school of 'waist-wearing' would have been labeled a moron pre-2010. That said, the waists of the nation have spoken and this season and the only way is up! Teamed with block-colour blouses or retro sloganed tees, enter your summer staple. Tantastic [great for getting colour on those calves] semi-flattering [don't touch them if you're short] and great when spilling vodka down your legs, in the words or Mr Cowell, they're well "on the money" [Just don't let your pockets hang out like Agy Deyne - not cool]
Move over mini-lovers, this summer it would seem that more is, well, more! Once only associated with grandparents over 80 and grandkids under 8, the midi-maxi-over-the-knee trend has gone global. In an array of prints and fabrics, maxi and midi skirts/ dresses are perfect festival garb; as well as adding a touch of decorum and cover-up to your festival look [as opposed to camel toes and too much thigh that comes with the playsuit school of thought] they're multi-purpose: a dirty maxi skirt doubles up as a blanket to enjoy your falafel and rum on, without fear of a dirty bum. Remember: if those knee caps are showin', your hemline needs a-growin'.
That's all for now festy fans - brb next week for more musings on all things Wardrobe.
