"the festival seemed like a pretty good plan"

Right so I've been away for a while and I'd like to say I have an excuse, that I've been doing lots of CV and bank-balance enriching things. However I have not. I've basically just been doing stuff. Seeing friends, drinking too much and dressing up every now and then. So continuing with that theme, we're off to Leeds Festival on Wednesday til Monday, early day passes and all that.

The Killers, Last Shadow Puppets, MGMT, Pendulum, Justice, The Kills. Shut me up I will go on.

However this does pose the age old question: What the frick to wear?? I have to be prepared for every weatherly eventuality, this is England after all. Festivals are pretty much the only time you can wander round a field looking an absolute wreck without being judged. However there is a fine line between looking a wreck and being one. You just know I'm going to fail miserably. But all notions of social norms are pretty much out of the window after the first couple of days, so hopefully people won't take too much notice.

I'm going about tackling this in the most logical way, the art of collage. I've created two subsections: the "real" people and the catwalk.

First "real" people: I bloody hope these photos were taken on the first day because I don't care who you are no one can look this good after 3 days of dancing in sweaty pits, no sleep and constant drinking. If this is after 3 days I can only conclude they have had no fun because they haven't done these lovely things.
These are the type of girls who will saunter out of a tent and put everyone else to shame. I know it's cruel but I automatically dislike these people. They carry off simple looks in a way only skinny blonde girls from LA can. I have nothing against these people, jealously is an ugly emotion. Ok well I'm ugly then.
These two are less 'fuck off I'm gorgeous' I think it's how they're standing. But they still look awesome and effortless. That first one could probably kill you if she wanted though.
These guys are from the school of marching to your own tune, excellent. Feather headgear is always a conversation starter but try wearing that while you're bopping along to Metallica. I will be neither bopping nor watching Metallica though, so that's a thinker.
The first girl because I love this dress, I've seen it in the flesh and it is excellent. And she wears it very very well. The second girl because she does the effortless look with a touch of humour.
Alexander 'white trash couture' Wang. If I could pull this off hell yeah I would.
Anna Sui. 'Oh I was just wandering around some fields and wow look here's a festival now let's dance would you like a flower?' Can you tell I'm getting carried away here?
Gucci. Either a.) I'm with the band or b.) I will be, you just wait bitch.

Now I just have to find some clothes in my own wardrobe to try and create 5 fabulous outfits. I'm thinking I'll take my "pagan" dress. Oh you're worried already.

I would do a photoshoot of my potential outfits but my parents have taken the camera to freakin Croatia, I've been home alone for two weeks, I'm beginning to get used to it actually...maybe I'll change the locks... Anyway, Wendy's taking disposable camera's so we will try to get something vaguely resembling an outfit post when we get back. Have a lovely week!
