Summerfest-ing

The first weekend was the heaviest weekend for us down at Summerfest. Caitlin went and saw Thomas Rhett, Dustin Lynch, and Russell Dickerson on Wednesday night. Then I went and saw Elle King Thursday night. Friday night we were back for more and caught T-Pain’s show with our girl Hailey from Get it Got it Go!. Saturday night Caitlin was back to see Bon Iver and Lord Huron while I went to a Brewers game. Sunday we hit up the Lake Street Dive show to round out the weekend. I’m exhausted just reminiscing on it!

Now Caitlin is done for the year, and I’m going tomorrow night. Not sure yet who I’ll end up seeing, but friends are in town visiting and we have to show them what Summerfest is all about! I think this is by far the most I’ve attended in the last five years. Now if only I didn’t have a day job to get up in the morning. Some sleep would do me good, but I’ll just have to wait until we get up north to get rested!

We’ve hit our Summer weather stride, but down at the lakefront is always cooler than out in the ‘burbs. Plus once the sun sets, if you’re not jumping around (which we might be) or packed in the crowd with other people, you can get pretty chilly quickly. With all of that in mind, I’m never opposed to wearing pants down there. If pants aren’t your thing at concerts, check Caitlin’s super cute shorts outfit from this post on what we love about Summerfest. Also if you’re looking for more of a Dad chic look, check out this post.

When Asos gifted me these pants, you could say I was elated. My leopard loving heart met its match. Often, I see flare pants on Asos and get excited and then avoid them. I’ve tried them before, and don’t really find them flattering on my athletic thighs. With this pair, they aren’t flares, but wide legs. So they skim right over and are a lot more slimming. Plus, they are jersey fabric, so essentially they feel like pajamas. With that being said, a lot of times I think jersey fabric tends to show every fault on your body. Again, no worries because the leopard print is your perfectly camouflaging friend.

If you haven’t noticed, we’re attempting to buy every singly bodysuit in the Asos tall range. I think we’ve got a good hand on it between the two of us. Basically, if you can wear a regular bra with it, Caitlin is your girl. Me, being a part of the itty bitty titty committee, I can get away with the crazier strapped options. So this one was calling my name forever. I love how the extra strap details add just enough visual interest to not be super basic.

Whenever I attend festivals, I only worry about choosing footwear that keeps me comfortable. Y’all know if you’re waiting for an artist to come out, you’re going to be tired and it will make you a little cranky if your feet start to hurt as well. I’m going to wear these Franco Sarto sandals all summer long. They go with everything because they’re the perfect neutral color. Plus everyone will hate being behind me at a concert anyway, so I don’t need to put on heels and piss people off further for just being myself!

At this point, we can firmly recommend the Peanut Butter Cup Cedarcrest Ice Cream or trying a fresh local popsicle from Pete’s Pops (Found at Belair Cantina), we stand by our love of eggplant strips from Venice Club with a side of freshly shaken lemonade from a number of lemonade booths. Follow along with our Instagram stories for our yes no ratings on any other fresh finds!

If you want to rock your heels though, go on with your bad self. I’m not here shaming anyone who wants to wear whatever footwear they want. I’m just harping on comfort level for myself. With parking and walking and standing all night, it adds up quick! The bottom line, I’ll stick with sandals or sneakers. What type of shoes do you like to wear at festivals?
