OOTD: Falls Festival Edition

So it’s that time of year again… New Years Eve!! Instead of getting all dolled up in the typical party attire, sipping champagne and mingling amongst the array of parties and clubs, it seems as though us Aussies are choosing the opposite. And by this I mean sleeping on the floor for days, unusual drink concoctions and standing on someones shoulders in no shoes while you forget who you are actually listening to. But there is no better way to ring in the new year than this… FALLS FESTIVAL is here!!

Now this means outfits…it is important to figure out what to pack for 4 days of drinking, dancing, and disgusting behaviour. It is a few days so you need multiple options, but comfy and versatile pieces than can be thrown on and are easily interchangeable.

Here is some outfit inspo to get you excited…

MY OUTFIT OPTIONS

Here are a few outfits I have put together. Many of you would have similar pieces in your wardrobe which you can mix and match to create looks along these lines.

LOOK 1: Girly Grunge

I love mixing prints and they do say opposites attract. Mixing a floral print with a checked vest is femininity with an edge. A plain A-line skirt is a perfect basic to match with your other pieces but teamed with a crop it shows a little skin (and what’s a festival without girls wearing little to no clothes). But most of all you will feel comfy to frolic your way through the festivities.

Paint It Red Miami Love Crop Top – $30

Checked Shirt – $15 (Op Shop)

Finder Keepers The Great black skirt – $10 (Sample Sale)

LOOK 2: Double Denim

I am loving double denim at the moment and seeing as though denim is an “all-time” basic it should be an essential in your festival packing! Here I have put my relaxed “boyfriend” fit denim high-waisted shorts with a lighter denim open shirt and tank top. Again the relaxed-feel of this outfit means it’s perfect for an all day event and you can drink and eat all you want and still hide the consequences. The cut-out ankle boots and skeleton tank give it a rocker edge which is clearly appropriate for the occasion.

Denim Shirt – $30 – Cotton On

Evil Twin Tank Top – $60

Denim Shorts – $69 – American Apparel

Cut-out Boots – $30 – Dotti

LOOK 3: Cargo Stripe

I love the colour mix in this look. A navy stripe dress is such a perfect addition to a green cargo jacket with leather sleeves. It just works! This shift dress is simple but it can be teamed with any style of jacket or shoe throughout the festival to change up the look. This jacket works quite well, and shoe choice could be an ankle boots or a converse-style sneaker. Tie the jacket around the waist in the day and keep on for the cooler nights! Voila…

Cargo Jacket – $45 – Target (Hot Options)

Stripe Shift Dress – $30 – Bonds

Necklace – Palas pendant with long chain

Sunnies – $21 – ASOS

Print Your Own Tee!!

So it’s clear people are finding new ways of expressing themselves…. one of these ways is laying their thoughts and feelings right where everyone can see them! SMACK BANG on their clothing.

Slogan tees are definitely hitting the streets hard right now… so why not start expressing your anger, happiness, sadness, love, passion, or sense of humour right across your chest.

STYLE INSPIRATION

Take a line out of Cara Delevingne’s book who definitely knows how to express her style through thought…

And no this isn’t the end of this blog… I will do more than tell you what you may already know or have already seen. I will give you a Hot Tip…

Why not MAKE YOUR OWN!!

Instead of wearing what others are saying why not come up with your own message? Or change the font, style, or colour of your favs to suit your mood. Buy the plain tee and have the print done separately.

MY PICK

Seeing as though its summer go for a plain tank top rather than a t-shirt. General Pants have these plain basic for $24.95 (left) and $19.95 (right) or 2 for $40 and 2 for $30 – – LINK TO BUY

WHERE TO GO

There will obviously be many printing stores in your local city but in Adelaide I recommend T-Shirt City on 72 Hindley Street. Quick and easy… pick what you want and away you go.

Also writing in one font and one colour is quite inexpensive at printing stores which helps you save on a slogan tee that may be floating around the boutiques for more $$ or helps you create your own signature look for less!

HAPPY PRINTING 🙂

Outlet Shopping: Tony Bianco

The gladiator sandal is everywhere this summer!! And the Lusk shoe from Tony Bianco definitely does this trend justice. Although this shoe is last season, the style hasn’t faded and the platform addition for some extra lift is still very popular. So why not snap them up for $40 down from $139.95. Yes thank you!!

Harbour Town, Adelaide is genius for bringing us the Tony Bianco Outlet.

OOTD: daisy daze and boyfriend jeans

The boyfriend jean is definitely a favourite of mine. They are always super comfy and you never have to worry about them being too tight after the weekend. And in their easy breezy style they are perfect for the transition into summer. No one rocks the boyfriend jeans quite like these lovely ladies…

Why not bring some of springs signature look and colour into the trend and team them with a floral singlet!! This is more practical for the warmer days and brings a bit of femininity back into the look.

MY OUTFIT

Top: $25 (Shop: MCL – Marion)

Jeans: $40 (Shop: Tally Weijl) bought in Europe…sorry!

Shoes: $39.95 Billini (Shop: Somethin Somethin)

Jewellery: Miss Martini

Leather Cap: $5 (Shop: Cotton on Body)

SHHHH (secret)……MCL is an extremely cheap store down at Marion Shopping Centre. It stocks many of the inexpensive brands such Mika & Gala & Spicysugar. Do yourself a favour and snap up some summer garments at ridiculous prices.

These Billini shoes are my absolutely favourite buy at the moment. The simplicity in style and colour means they are my go-to shoe for basically any outfit and not to mention they are SUPER comfy! Snap up a pair from my local store Somethin Somethin on Glen Osmond Road. You’re Welcome!! (also comes in tan and white)

Although I bought my jeans over in Germany and unfortunately their online store http://www.tally-weijl.net/ do not deliver to Australia. There are plenty of other options for boyfriend-style jeans at decent prices.

ASOS never cease to deliver with plenty of great options to choose from…

HAPPY SHOPPING : )
