Guess what girls! I am totally wearing a mumu right now. It is a maternity "tank dress" from Old Navy...but yeah, they can't fool me with a hip name. It is a mumu
I was at Target this week and they have some soft, jersey-knit-like dresses for $20. Tank-top style top, not spaghetti straps, so you could actually wear a bra! I believe they are the Merona brand, which I associate with Target's "nicer" stuff, but they could easily be a great Roo dress. There were several colors to choose from, and they were sooooo soft. I'm not allowed to buy any more Roo dresses (I have way too many), but I was very tempted to put in my cart.
Daniroo those look sweet! I'm guessing they're pretty comfy, but how breathable are they? I'm a barefoot or flip flops fan myself, but I've seen from pics that it looks like mostly just hard dirt there haha So I want my feet to be as comfy as possible, but not real hot either.
what are rainbows? i love those sanuks and also the sundresses. i have a new pair of sanuks and a new pair of reefs. im ready to go!
yes sanuks pretty much feel liking on hard dirt - but i never thought about that. i find them very breathable and they dry fast if you have to hose them off. you can also snip them on the sides tomake them fit - ive even put a few stitches in them before to get a more snug fit.
oh i found the rainbows and they are on sale 25% off right now. they look great. which ones do you like. the suede ones with the leather upper and the double arch look good. i have some suede thongs from sanuks and they are devine!!!! id never take them to roo though because id be afraid id mess up the suede. i wear them around the house when im not barefoot.
I was at Maurices today and they have tons of cute hippie tops, skirts, and dresses right now. I managed to only buy 2 tops and a pair of jeans, but I definitely wanted more.

Ahh so glad I found this topic! =) Thanks for the info on the shoes! this will be my first Roo, first festival & I know its going to be super hot & I'm sure I'll just be sweaty & dirty the whole time, but I'd still like to try to not look like total garbage haha! My boyfriend says its still too early to talk about Bonnaroo yet (because he knows once I get the go-ahead that I won't shut up until I'm there! haha) so I know he is NOT going to want to talk about "What am I going to wear?" Glad I have some ladies who understand =) I actually bought my first bathing suit in forever today, because I figure I will probably just throw on a bikini top under a tank or dress most of the day down there.
i also found that i ended up shoving my hair into a bun most of the time while i was there, which is not a very flattering look for me. i just hate having hair in my face and all over my neck when i'm roasting hot. i liked those etsy head wraps but im not sure what i would do with my hair with one on. just leave it down? ponytail? in every pic, she has it over her ears, which looks like it would drive me crazy. my ears don't lay flat like that, they stick straight out.
i also have a couple of headbands like this :http://www.schampa.com/product_p/dz01.htm but they're more batik looking and really comfy. i should have brought them last year but i forgot them at home. still got to figure out how to wear them with my hair up somehow.
I feel like I'm a completely different person when I'm on the farm. At home, I put my hair up the second I get home - bangs pulled back with a clip and my below-shoulder length hair goes up in a ponytail. And often even at work or just out and about, my neck gets all itchy from my hair and it goes up in a ponytail.
But at Bonnaroo, I live with my hair flowing down my back and pulled back with a bandana or scarf. I do agree that I can't stand having anything over my ears (unless I've been baking in the sun for hours and feel my ears burning), but the hair on my back doesn't bother me at all. Maybe because there's so much else to distract me? But I find it to be a bonus as then the back of my neck and upper back don't get burned at all.
And you know, I've tried the bandana thing at home and it doesn't work at all.
Anyway, that's just my experience. If you've already tried having your hair down and it was annoying, then I just wouldn't try anymore. What if you put your hair in a bun while still at camp and then wrap a scarf around your head? Might make up for the lack of hair thing and the ends of a scarf hitting your neck may not be as annoying as hair can be.
Or put your hair on top of your head or at the nape of your neck so you can wear a big hat?

i just got two pair of jeans i ordered from VS on clearance for12.99. they are the boyfriend jeans and i just love them. a lot of people are down on VS but im happy with my cheap clearance jeans!!!
I LOVE VS! I just got a pair of those same jeans, too. I got some of their "70s" wide leg jeans a while back, and get compliments all the time on them. I can only buy their jeans when they are on sale, but they are the best, sexiest, fitting jeans I can find anywhere. I love them!

i ended up with it in braids mostly when i was wearing my big hat, and in a bun when i wasn't. possibly out of habit since that's what i do with it when i'm at home. what bugs me most is when wind makes the little hairs by my forehead tickle me, and hot heavy hair on the back of my neck. i think the headwrap is really going to be the answer. i think it'll lift the hair off my neck a little to allow airflow, and it will keep the little hairs off me, as well as cover up my forehead a little if i put it into a ponytail. i'm going to order one soon and try it out on a couple of beach days here to see if it works out. hopefully it will keep it off me enough while still looking cute.

yeah i'm definitely thinking about getting the reversible one. i reaslly like it. you don't have to go all the way to target just for me.. i'll figure it out. you've definitely pointed me in the right direction though.

i lived in a bandana (on left in avatar) i'd even wear a bandana under my hat. my hair was long enough to put in a messy ponytail but i felt so gross without a bandana on. it soaked up sweat & kept my hair out of my face.
it sounds like you have a lot of hair so a headwrap may work better for you because of the extra fabric on the sides.
I need to pick up another pair of wicking shorts. I haven't tried the Kmart ones (even though I'm pretty sure I'm the one that recommended them to your sis Debbie) I'm just wondering if they extend long enough.
I lived in Crocs at '08. Definitely going to invest in some rain boots this year after hearing about '09's storms. I'm intrigued by Sanuks. I have some feet issues so I gotta be careful about what I choose. Do Sanuks offer any type of arch support?
I can see how you're tempted - those patterns are really pretty! The tank top prices are a little easier to swallow, but I generally try to keep any Roo purchases to under $30. Under $20 is even better

Where is it on Broadway? Lower Broad? I usually don't head down there unless there's a show or I'm going to a Preds game... parking is too much of a hassle!
