Cottage wardrobe = festival outfit

The mid-summer fest is over and I'm glad. It's always a bit tough to stay stranded from the civilization, not the least because you don't need much of an effort to create your outfit. It's just too easy, Juicy Couture pink velour suit or leggings with a big sweater. Or bikini. But this summer the bikini was mainly used for swimming, no sun and no skinny dipping with big sisters guy friends around.

Luckily, this year I got a bit of brain activity to the fashion section of my brain. On friday, me and my boyfriend were invited to a festival with lots of friends around and which draws around 10 000 visitors. As much as I love my Juicy velour suit, it's strictly for home, cottage and dog walking use only. I'm so happy that I had not changed my new Vila Soho Boot Sandals (check out nelly.com, couldn't attach the picture) into golden Bianco-sneakers (because of being behind schedule on thursday when leaving, I just had to throw the sneakers in a bag). You can always build an interesting outfit if you've got one cute piece to build it on. I love shoes for that purpose. Then shiny leggings, a tube top down from waist as a body skimming skirt and a one size too big, orange Diesel-sweater to bring some color and balance the outfit. And my never wrong, black Zara leather jacket from three years ago to top it off. The bag was just a tan colored, medium-sized, slouchy tote with lots of pockets (the only one I had with me, but it did bring a bit of lightness to the outfit). No accessories, it was rock enough this way. Not like I had any with me, though... But in the end, the shoes saved me.

And about the boyfriend, he has been trained by now to pick his own outfit. Now he just asks if it's ok. It was.  As if he had known we had to take "proper" clothes with us to cottage...
