Festival Fashion for the Edgy Chic

Whether or not you’re a music fest junkie, festival fashion is something that you should familiarize yourself with. A couple of weeks ago, Nancy (the girl boss behind Current Clothing – my fav SF boutique) and I were reminiscing about February’s New York Fashion Week. We laughed as I described my bell bottoms transforming from orange to orange ombré in a matter of minutes. It snowed 10+ inches and the bottoms of my pants were SOAKED! It’s hard to dress to impress in the dead of winter. Props to the New York fashionistas. That is when she said, “skip NYFW and go to Coachella!” While I have never been to the famous fest, I have admired it from a far on Instagram. She’s right, the festival fashion is on another level! I might just have to give it a whirl.

Nancy went on to tell me that brands and showrooms have designated product lines for Coachella. Gone are the days where people are out Easter dress shopping. In California, at least, it is all about the latest and greatest in festival fashion!

So what exactly is festival fashion? It is a cross between bohemian and sexy. Think fringe, flares, feathers, headpieces, and chunky jewelry. Click here to see Kendall Jenner’s Coachella outfits. Apparently we have the same interpretation because she is killin’ it in a peek-a-boo maxi skirt, statement belt, and headband.

These fringe hem jeans SCREAM festival fashion! While I will not be attending Coachella this year, I hope this post will provide “fashspiration” for those of you who will be. I am obsessed with the super high waist because it makes for easy pairing with crop tops. I do not like the show my belly button. Does that makes me “old school?!” Anyway, the featured crop top is from Current Clothing but any frilly top would work in its place. Naturally, my festival fashions are a little bit edgy. I accomplish this by incorporating black accents, a choker, and a bold red lip. What are you festin’ in?!

The streets of San Francisco were quieter this weekend. Some say it was because of the ever famous music festival, Coachella, down in Palm Springs. Regardless, we took advantage of the warm weather with photo shoots, a road race, and a shorter line at Sol Food’s Mill Valley location. If you have an affection for Puerto Rican cuisine, do yourself a favor and pig out at this “cafeteria.” Anyway, attending the festival and dressing in fest attire are not mutually exclusive. No matter where you are, it is still fun to showcase your favorite festival fashions!

That is exactly why I rocked this knit fringe number over the weekend. If you are in the market for a swimsuit coverup, spring dress, or spring sweater, this piece can pass for all of those things. Not bad for $34.99! Please keep in mind that I am 5 feet tall so it fits me more like a dress. Anyway, I slipped a full length cami underneath it and kept the styling simple with taupe platform mules. Because no outfit is complete without the right accessories, I added a pop of color by incorporating turquoise earrings, and hanging a colorful scarf off of my purse. The old scarf trick is a fashion hack worth taking note of.

Did you spend your weekend at a musical festival, or just play the part like me?! If you like what you see, shop this post below:
