Gov Ball 2015 was a weekend for the books. In addition to finally getting to see one of my favorite artists, Florence + The Machine, perform, we saw ten plus additional amazing bands, dj's, rappers and performers over a three day weekend in the one and only New York City. One thing we did A LOT of was walking, more walking, and walking again. My feet may never be the same but I'm okay with it. Music is everything and my number one favorite thing but fashion, as you may guess, is a close second. In planning for the weekend, it was hard to determine what to bring to wear. Dressing for an occasion helps define an experience for me so it was a balance between feeling good and looking good.
For one, I was thankful to have grabbed my tie-dyed beach sarong before I left the house. It served as a blanket, poncho, umbrella and shawl over the course of the weekend but easily fit into my small backpack or locker in between those moments. I advise keeping one on hand all summer. They take little to no space in a bag but can be a life saver in a pinch.
I found those amazing pants last summer at the cutest little boutique House of Threads in the quaint mountain town Blue Ridge, GA. They easily became a staple in my wardrobe from the second I made the purchase. And the cute little jean top and tie-dyed dress came from the Nod & Rose pop-up in NoDa the week before. It was perfect timing to say the least!
Also fashionably featured above are my sister Jill and friend Jennifer. But our friend Holly won the MVP as she was about 5 months pregnant and not only didn't complain the entire weekend but rocked it out non-stop! Go girls!
One thing I'll say, if you love music like me, you need to go to Gov Ball next year! It was an absolute blast!
