KAABOO Del Mar Festival // OOTD

KAABOO Del Mar Festival // OOTD

• Thursday, October 01, 2015

Good day all! A couple weeks ago I went to KAABOO, an arts & music festival in Del Mar, California. I enjoyed the amazing experience with my boyfriend. I received a photo pass so I could bring my camera into the festival, which you'll see in these outfit photos. I also took some artist shots you can check out here; I captured bands such as No Doubt (Gwen Stefani), Minnie Driver, Slightly Stoopid, & more.  Stay tuned for more updates on that!

But at the end of the day what is a festival without fashion? Festival fashion is half the fun. This is what I wore on day three. Looking back I was tropical all three days; Del Mar is the perfect place to represent. It's near the beach. There are palm trees. It's sunny & warm. You can't go wrong. I'm all about tropical print inspiration.

This is a low key, laid-back look. Much like myself. The outfit features a cameo from my childhood backpack whom I've named Fox Mulder after The X-Files character. I've truly had this backpack for longer than I can remember but I don't know if I've ever used it because it was spotless. Clean as a whistle. I like looking back at items I've had for years & finding a new love for them.

There are couple types of people to go to music festivals. Those who are there to be seen & get their photo taken. Then there's people like me who just want to make it through the day without dying. I did a mixture of cute & comfortable. I've stressed the importance of comfortable shoes at music festivals so many times! It's vital!

Shirt: Thrifted // Skirt: from my grandma // Socks: Rue 21 // Shoes: H&M // Backpack: ???

My KAABOO OOTD is super affordable;  I love going thrift shopping because you can find some unique & funky pieces for cheap. I acquired the skirt from my grandma's closet when she passed away; check out another outfit featuring some of her items here. My shoes you may recognize from this outfit post. I firmly believe you can never go wrong with velvet. Or creepers. Or velvet creepers.

What do you think of my music festival outfit? Have you ever watched The X-Files? Do you like velvet :]
