Wish You Were Here

If I was at Coachella, this is what I'd wear. Of course I started with the time-honored tradition of the trashy denim shorts. Say what you will about them, they are a festival staple. Then I added a silk tank with a racer-back, because it gets really friggin hot out there. Because the tank was simple, I got a bit fancy with the bra. Hey, a little french lace never hurt anyone, right? Plus, the cotton silk blend will remain comfy but will hold its shape and breathe if you work up a sweat dancing. For day shoes, these rainbow-studded sandals really open up the color palette of the outfit, and are flat because, unless your an extreme masochist, you can't survive all day outside in heels. But, just in case you need a little lift when the sun goes down, these Reed Krakoff's are the ticket (pun totally intended). To keep your eyes clear of dust, and the extremely harsh desert rays, you have Cutler and Gross sunglasses which, by the way, are my obsession right now. A backpack is necessary festival equipment and this one from Herschel Supply is nice and sturdy, plus the color is great. No doubt, the arm parties will be raging, but, while everyone stacks on tons of bling to their wrists, I implore you to go with a simple, single bangle. I'm pretty sure your wrists sweat too. For makeup, go with something with SPF that will perfect your complexion without making you sweat (hello, Chanel!) and some tinted lip balm. Ladies, just because you are on vacation, it does not mean you can let your skin fry. So, to remedy that, and to tone down the whole-lotta-fancy that was accumulating in this post, I added a Yankees hat to the mix. I'm embarrassed to say I chose it for it's colors. Yankee, who? For those of you that will be enjoying the music, bon voyage and have enough fun to make up for the rest of us losers!
