I was recently contacted by Boohoo, asking if I would like be part of the 'Festival under £50 campaign'. I obviously jumped to the chance and couldn't wait to look through the festival shop on Boohoo.com (If you didn't just sing that in your head, then you need to leave).
Now I know you must be thinking, 'But Abi? This isn't practical for a festival, where are the wellies? The maxi dress will get muddy and what not?' I have been to many festivals and I'm aware that this isn't entirely practical for most British Festivals.
When looking for my festival outfit I didn't want to pick your standard outfit of shorts, a crop top and trainers. My main inspiration for this outfit was day festivals. This year I have been to more day festivals than camping festivals. They are definitely becoming a lot more popular, with the likes of Love Saves The Day, SW4, Wireless etc.
Although, I absolutely love camping festivals, getting down and dirty in the mud and having the full festival experience. I am really enjoying day festivals, and I know they will attract a lot of people that do not enjoy the thought of not showering for 4 days. You are able to dress up and look pretty, watch your favourite acts and then go home to a comfy bed.
I fell in love with this dress when I saw it on Boohoo.com. I love the pattern and the cross tie detailing on the back. I feel like it really fits in with current trends.
I decided to go with plain black flatforms so the main aspect of this outfit is the dress. These shoes are super comfy and allow your feet to breathe when it is warm at festivals.
I am aware that festival has now come to an end, but this outfit would be perfect for any events/concerts you have coming up! A massive thank you to Boohoo for making this collaboration happen.

Thank you lovely! xx
DeleteI went to a smaller festival by my uni for the day this year and the fact you can get ready properly in the morning and go home and shower and sleep in a bed after is so good but for bigger festivals I definitely prefer camping. This is such a pretty dress though and you could definitely get away with wearing it for the day if it's not raining ha!
