Festival Essentials With New Look: Summer Essentials. Hello friends.
I have never been to a Music Festival. A few concerts, never a full blown music festival. So have you ever been to one?
It is something that is on my bucket list. Money and time permitting!!
Also, having a new puppy and 4 children it is not always easy arranging holidays and weekends away.
So planning to go to a festival would be a big task.
Now the children are all growing up I think it is something they would really enjoy too.
My eldest boys, love their music. Although a trip to a festival with their Mum might not be on their bucket list!!
Festival Essentials With New Look: Summer Essentials:
Every year I love to read all the fashion blogger posts, who have been to a festival.
Reading all the fun stories they tell, what has happened and who they have seen.
Mostly I also like to see what they have been wearing. Because festival fashion is so much fun. I especially like cut off jean shorts and wellies but it does not suit me 🙁
Every year it looks like wellies and tiny denim shorts are the most popular fashion garments too.
Last week New Look contacted me and asked me if I was going to a festival what would my Festival Essentials!?!
Interesting Question!
For me a 40+ mum on a budget it would be something floaty, cool and bright. Mostly though something I could wear again for the school run!
I really like maxi dresses for a boohoo casual yet classic look. but they are no good if it rains. Which is fairly common for festivals in the UK.
What else?! A short dress? Mmm yes please. In my favourite colour, red of course!
Maybe some wellies and sandals for the change in weather?
I got to pick an outfit from their Festival Shop so I can share my perfect festival style.

Here is my perfect outfit..
Short red yet floaty dress.
Comfy flat leather sandals. (You can see how I styled these shoes here too: Going Out Out: Over 40 Style).

Maybe when I have been to a festival my ideas would change again!?! Watch this space.
About this post: New Look kindly let me pick out a festival outfit. All thought are my own and I was not paid for this post.
Linking up with Tried & Tested.
Wow! You look stunning dear!
Your dress is gorgeous and perfect for a summer festival combined with wellies and a raincoat 😉 I've been to loads of festivals over the years and it's definitely the thing I miss most about my pre-mum days! Thanks for sharing your review on #TriedTested this week x

Thanks for stopping by 🙂
That looks so cool, light, and comfortable, and I LOVE wearing red! I used to go to music festivals often in my late teens/early 20s, but now I have a one year old, so going to another anytime soon isn't likely. Lol! However, this would be great for picnics and other outdoor parties. Isn't summer great?
