i know i saw a ton of those chairs with the umbrellas built into them last year. i wouldnt want to carry that around but they did seem to help with the sun. here is a link where you can find some hats. i also saw some at forever 21.
annabelle also....someone else on here is getting married in the summer and i know she is making extra plans so she wont have any weird tan lines. i think shes going to wear a hat.
That's me! Major high spf, giant hat, and as much strapless stuff as I can manage! I can't make it to Roo, but this is my plan for pretty much the entire first half of summer.

hi clair. i knew it was you but didnt want to speak for you specifically.
by the way....if you keep checking the VS website they are having some jeans 12.99 for short periods. as in.....i saw a pair and an hour later there were gone...then back in another color etc. at the moment there are none for 12.99 but they seem to be clearning them out in lots. you might want to check periodically.

I love wearing the cute sundresses and everything... But when I'm sweating that much I just feel icky. Usually when I'm doing a lot of walking and jumping around I have to be super comfortable. I plan on wearing some skirts though with the bike shorts underneath. But what I mainly love to wear are Jean shorts and mens hanes cotton v necks. I plan on tye dying them. I made all of my fAmily members v neck tye dye shirts for Christmas and they loved them! And I had a really fun time making them. Plus my comfortable tevas shoes.
^Yeah. I hate jean shorts in the heat. It's either workout shorts or skirts all summer long for me. Maybe the occasional khaki short, but even that is pushing it because I have to wear a belt.

i dont mind jean shorts but i tend to gravitate toward the hiking shorts because they wick better and dry faster. they also seem to pack lighter. however, i think denim shorts are a great look for roo
you don't find that jean shorts stick to you in the heat?
I wore cotton shorts one time at Roo and never will again. I am surprised anyone could be comfy in jean shorts. I just wear sundresses the whole time and am totally comfortable.

I only wore jean shorts the first and last day and didn't really have a problem with them. I wore gym shorts and was totally uncomfortable (ended up added the bike shorts). I've never worn a skirt with the biker shorts which sounds pretty breezy yet easy to sit and jump and more. So, I bought two very cute skirts at Old Navy and definitely plan on wearing them! haha
does anyone have a pictgureof the tshirt skirts. thats something i would wear for sure.
Here's me in one of mine:
Action shot :
That particular one is a little weird because the t-shirt I used was only a small. I have some others but I don't think I have any good pictures of them. Maybe I'll take some pics soon.
They're super easy to make...they seriously take about 5 minutes and they're so wonderfully comfortable. And you can just buy t-shirts from AC Moore or wherever for like $3 and have whatever colors you want. Or use old t-shirts that you never wear...I always end up with t-shirts that I get for free or whatever and if they're just normal unisex shirts they're going to be ginormous on me so I either wear them to sleep in or make other clothes out of them, haha.
If anyone wants to make any, I'll try to explain how...
Basically you just pull the shirt on using the neck of the shirt as the waistband - trust me, it sounds ridiculous, but it works. Those things stretch a LOT, so you can do it even if you're not freakishly small like me! If I can manage to stretch a small t-shirt enough, then I think anybody could wear one of these skirts as long as you had the right size t-shirt. Just keep inching it up over your hips, it'll take some effort to get into it the first time and get it stretched out but it'll happen. Then figure out how long you want it to be, wiggle your way out of the shirt/skirt, and cut it. Here's a diagrammy thing I made:
And that's about it! I just leave the bottom edge all rough and unfinished - not only is it not hemmed or anything, it's usually all jagged and everything, lol. Just put it back on and start snipping any bits that look weird until you get it looking how you want it!
I accidentally bought a new purse at Target last week. Whoops.
BAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, I can't really confirm or deny... but I maaaaay have accideeeentally purchased 2 dresses from target the other day
And also - Pepper! You're so cute and tiny! Totally trying a T-shirt Skirt.
And - Button Update! Im getting 50 white/50 mint. She's thickening up the thread that comes off the spool (thanks Pepper) and then they're getting sent to me! I'll let you ladies know when they're in so I can start dispersing.
AND - Im totally doing ACL this year. Anyone else generally go? It'd be nice to see some Roo GFT there.
AND - ...there's no more. I was just on a roll. ;D

had to add my latest discovery....Moroccan oil for hair...this stuff is like crack for my hair...better than anything I have ever used!!!! my hair is naturally very wavy and thick and this calms frizz, lets me either scrunch and wear curly with just air drying or blows out very easily straight.
I am loving those t-shirt skirts! I will certainly be on the lookout for the perfect t-shirt to cut up just for this project now! I'm wondering what the bottom hem looks like on the longer ones though (where you have to cut around the sleeves & such)
zenfnp - Moroccan oil? nice! I just recently tried out this olive/coconut oil mixture (suggested as a skin moisturizer) on my hair - for the dead ends & such - and it made my hair sooo soft! I also have wavy/curly frizz-prone hair.

yes, Moroccan oil...you can order it online or get it at better salons....or if you're a cheapskate like me you can get it at a local beauty supply store (for me its Sally beauty supply) the brand is "argan oil" but its the same product. I have used olive oil, john frieda, just about every hair product you can name and this is all I will ever use again. Its that good. it doesnt weigh the hair down or make it greasy. Just a little bitty less than dime sized dab in your palm, rub together and then through damp hair...then either scrunch and dry naturally for curl or blow dry straight with a natural bristle round brush.

omg that skirt is so cute. why didnt i think of that. thats a GREAT idea for all those big free shirts i get. i could wear that around the house instead of shorts.
That tshirt skirt thing is such a great idea!! I can't wait to find a tshirt to turn into a skirt!!
So I got my croc flip flops in the mail. I took about 3 45 minute walks in them and ended up getting blisters. My feet fit into them fine, but the top part that goes over my bit toe was kind of snug. Go figure. That's what I get for buying them just because they were the cheapest pair I could find. This is the pair I got. The color I got isn't on there any more though.
I guess I'm going to have to convince myslef not to be cheap and invest in a good pair of shoes. I'm thinking of getting some tevas. I mean, it's not like bonnaroo will be the only place I wear them.
Nooooooo!!! I just tried making one of those skirts with one of my doors tshirts and it ripped right down the middle when I was trieing to pull it over my hips!

FYI I went to Target this weekend (twice) and they have a ton of cute little sundresses and cotton bikini cover-ups that are very cute!! I couldn't find anything that I can really wear with a bra, but for the smaller chested of you, there are some awesome and cheap options!

Oh no! That sucks so much! Ummm sorry that I sort of caused the death of a Doors t-shirt!
