Posted May 1 2012 - 12:00am

It’s unavoidable, the festival girl is everywhere! And in perfect timing with the warm weather setting in! But don’t get discouraged, you don’t have to go to festivals or concerts to channel your inner festival girl fashion! This spring and summer we’ll be seeing a lot of her trends on the streets, and here is how you can create your own festival wardrobe without spending too much, collegiettes!
Whether it’s a pair of plain, distressed, dyed, or patterned shorts, these bottoms are key in your festival outfits and should make a statement! And don’t be afraid to mix patterns, textures, neons, and other colors in your look; sometimes it’s the busier the better! Pair your shorts with any crochet, cropped, or tattered top, and accessorize with anything and everything! Start with layering a mixture of long and short necklaces and stack on those rings, cuffs and friendship bracelets. Go wild with hair accessories; wear floral headbands, turbans, and hair wraps, even put real flowers in your hair. Protect your eyes with a statement pair of shades, and grab a fringy bag to hold everything.There are no rules in festival fashion so this is your chance to wear anything you’d like!
