i just bought a dress today that'll be great for roo, i think. and what's even better about it is that i know i'll get a lot of use out of it, considering that it was like $50. but, it's really adorable, i think, and it looks really good on. i'll have to post a picture like tomorrow.
but, like we eatablished earlier, when i was out shopping today, i was like "hmm will this be good for bonnaroo??"
I bought the orange paisley Target sundress this weekend. And a Coleman 5-day cooler. And a blow-up Coleman bed. And some solar-powered lights that change color at night. Why did everything have to show up on sale, all at once? I'll be the one eatin Ramen noodles for the rest of the year...
Hey ThatGrrl - I got the purple Target sundress this weekend. On Sale 14.99! woo! If you're talking about the one that's smocked at the top and has 3 tiers anyway. In fact, i plan on bustin out the sewing maching and shortening it, and moving the straps so I can wear a bra underneath and no one will see it.
I too seem to find myself saying "will that work at b'roo?" before i purchase clothing....

That's the dress! I'm planning a little alteration on it, as well. But I think I'm leaving it long. The straps are another matter. ;D
Solar-powered lights that change color at night? These sound interesting. Are they the kind you stick in the ground or like Christmas lights? I bought some solar-powered string lights on ebay last year, and they worked very well and were quite festive for our campsite...

They stick in the ground. They look like this:
Pretty cool! I'm afraid I'm also lusting after a faux chandelier for the shade tent:
It's so cute! But it's also $35 I don't need to spend, even if it could totally hang in my apartment, when it's off duty. It's from Urban Outfitters.

^^ that's a really cute chandelier! But you can totally make one for a fraction of the cost.
All you'd need is some wiring, pretty colorful crystals in various sizes, and some thread and a few other things for fastening. You can get all of that a crafts store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
I'm sure you can find a diy project on the net. I'm addicted to HGTV and the show Design on a Dime shows you all kinds of cool ways to turn ordinary stuff into really neat decor.

That is a very good point! I sorta suck at DIY, but this does look like one of the less skill-intensive types of projects. I may give it a go! Karma!
I just caught myself up with this thread! Good to see it's still going strong. I'm completely broke at the moment so I've been trying to stay out as much as possible lol.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has to alter those dresses...LOL. The straps are in a weird place.

I totally have the purple dress, too. We'll have to coordinate to either plan to wear them on the same day or different days Maybe be twinkies??? I've worn mine once so far (been a bit chilly here in TN) with a cute cardigan. But I can wear a bra with it without much strap exposure.

That would be fun! The Target Dress Meet-Up. But, yes. The straps are way weird. Too close to the center of my chest.

oh yes i got that style dress to and the straps are too close to the center for me. i think i am going to cut them out and just use it as a tube dress.

hey girls, I don't have much interesting to say but I just wanted to say that I'm back from spring break and I definitely missed checking this thread constantly!
Also I really want to get one of those dresses from Target that everyone is loving...I was admiring them last time I was there and didn't buy one yet, but I probably will eventually. We definitely should pick a day that we're all going to wear them.
Did any of you girls have a tank top from Target last year that was white with some sort of small print on it? There's one with brown mushrooms, one with yellow birds, one with blue whales (I think) and...a few others I can't remember. I had the brown mushrooms one and when my friend's luggage got lost we had to do some quick shopping before we left so she bought the same one and we saw SO MANY people at roo wearing them.

Kinda random but we were thinking of getting those push lights (like for you closet) and painting them with stain glass paint cause they are cheap and would look pretty cool all spotty and tye dye stuck around the campsite.

that would be cool...just be careful that they dont get stepped on. might be good to have a couple in front of the door to the tent, though.

those push lights are awsome to zip tye up in the cross bars of the shade tent unless your right by a huge ass light marking the pottys like i was last year...

haha all these ideas to make the campsite cooler are making me laugh (in a good way) because i did absolutely nothing last year. Met my guy friend and all of his guy friends there and they already had the whole thing set up, all i had to do was sleep where they told me to. Worked fine for me i do want to do a couple of things differently this year though and the boys will just have to deal with it.
I really want a rug, but I don't think any of us have either an old crap rug or an outdoor one and they're too pricey to buy one just for this. Oh well.
I do have a bright floral oilcloth tablecloth for our folding table!

you should get one of the rugs from the as-is section of ikea the next time you go. i work at the atlanta store, and i got some really cheap rugs last year that were displays so a little dirty around the edges (approx $5 each for a medium-size rug) before roo, and they were fantastic at my campsite! i think there is a store pretty close to you in d.c.
