Spray Paint & Chardonnay: ACL Festival Style

'Tis the season for ACL Festival to roll back through our fair city--and I couldn't be more excited! Not only do I love the music (obvs...) and the people watching, but I love putting together a good 'festival ensemble.' Considering I have to dress like a corporate J. Crew advertisement 90% of the time, I love to take advantage of the times where I can pretend like I'm really hip and cool. That all being said, I've been mentally planning ACL outfits in my head for weeks. Ok, yes I'm really that bored.

When it comes to music festivals, you have to not only think stylishly, but strategically as well. It's hot. It's crowded. There's no indoor plumbing. And there's a lot of dirt. Now, normally any one of those elements would steer me in the opposite direction--likely somewhere with A/C, running water, and perhaps a cable hook-up. Oh, and ample pinot grigio. Nay nay. I love me a good festival :)
