Summer Music Festivals and How to Dress if You’re Going

The weather is warm, summer is approaching and festival season has begun. While most of the best fests require significant travel, there are a few stellar events that are road-trip reachable. Although the ride may take you as long as the actual festival, that’s half the fun, right? Here are just a few of our picks, including one this weekend in Memphis which is definitely worth the drive.

And those are just the “B”s. More here.

As you know, these are not the events to bring out your brunch dresses, we are talking cut-off shorts, maxis, and anything boho chic. Most important? Shoes that can take the mud. But just cause it’s festival wear, doesn’t mean you leave fashion at home along with the indoor plumbing. They don’t call it boho chic for nothing; people look CUTE.  So, what are you going to wear? Charlotte boutiques have just what you need for your next festival, whether it’s in your back yard or a plane ride away.
