Welcome to Inforoo and Bonnaroo!
Last year I brought WAY more clothes than I needed. I would say if you're planning to use the pay showers (or if you're going VIP or in an RV) then two outfits a day would be good, but personally I didn't change at all during the days. I had thought I would want to since I'd be so sweaty but I ended up not really caring how dirty and sweaty and gross I was because everybody else is too and changing my clothes wouldn't really make me feel any cleaner anyway. So I'm planning on one outfit a day although I'll probably have a few extra things with me so I have choices. If you're not planning to fully change at night make sure you at least have a hoodie or jeans or something so you can be a little warmer, it gets chilly. Last year I just had a really light hoodie with me which worked well although I was cold even with that at times. I'm thinking I might bring some cute tights or leggings this year so that I could stuff them in my bag and just pull them on under a skirt when it started to cool down.
Last year I brought two outfits for each day and wore almost everything. The only day we didn't go back to camp to change was Sunday. Of course, this depends on where you're camped - if you end up way out in BFE, you may not want to hike back there to change. Although with me, even if I don't care if I'm dirty and sweaty, I tend to just end up hating whatever I'm wearing when I'm dirty and sweaty after 6 hours so I need to change no matter how long it takes to get back to camp
But you definitely don't need any more than that. And you can plan on re-wearing a few items so every two outfits may only have three items, that sort of thing.

la la la ladiesssssssssssss
help me pick a color i cant decide
or
im leaning more towards #1.. but they are both so cute i cant decide now im leaning towards the blue one cuz the yellowy (its more yellow in person) may be a bit see-thru and that would suck..
and now im not gonna get it all together cuz im getting the dress below andddd i can always get the shirt latah. ;D
Check out the dress I got from Charlotte Russe this weekend. It looks a little dressier in the pic than it really is. It's really light and flowy and has embroidered viney flowers down the front
Such pretty purchases, you guys! Gone for a few days and there are some really nice options up there. And I'm totally down with Target dress day. After I do surgery to the weird shoulder straps on my orange paisley one.
^^^Oh you rock so very mcuh - now I get to go see what I can spendmoney on that I should not be spending money on - but I really wanna just wear dresses and skirts this year - no shorts
WOW, karma when I can dcbee for those wonderful websites. I was at my coolest last year when I wore dresses. And I am not a skinny little thing like my avatar

hey, so ok i know a lot of people have been having trouble trying to figure out what type of shoes to bring.. and i know everyone on here pretty much swears by crocs, but i just cant do it (sorry) i'm just not a big fan at all.... ive never been to bonnaroo so i really dont know what to bring. im trying to bring all dresses like you gals suggested to be cooler, but i cant see crocs and skirts together. so im going to try a little experiment. well i work in a shoe store that gears to being comfy and sylish so im going to get a few pairs of sandals that we have and wear them to work for a few days.. we do alot of walking and standing on a hard floor so if they are comfy for days on end in that hell they should be comfy at roo.
^^^exactly - there is only a certain amount of cute and fashionable on the farm - footwear is important and really does not matter if it matches what you are wearing or not. What matters in footwear is what will take care of your feet, feel good, keep them dry and not cause blisters
its worth a shot though i will defiantly have a pair of shoes that I know I can walk in but a nice pair of sandals that are comfortable wont hurt either ;D
we carry a line that is for "sport" they are an extremely soft leather, and are very light weight.. i will try these out for a little while and see how they are and it will hopefully be a nice alternative for the people who do not like the crocs.
Itmight work - keep inmind that they must be fairly durable also - alot of walking is done on gravel roads and paths and through grass - and - if it rains - mud - losta mud
Ok I just bought this dress online. This one, plus the green one from this weekend, plus my 2 karisas, plus the skirt I bought like in january, plus all the skirts i already own=I am offically done buying clothes to be worn at festies. I am not allowed buying anymore. I already have more than I can where in one festival. Actually, I have more that I can where at the 2 I have planned so far. So don't let me shop!!!!!!

hey girls, I've got to show off my new creation! I have a few shirts that I tiedyed back in elementary school during the 90s when big t-shirts were all the rage. They're way too big for me to wear now even in circumstances where tiedye might be acceptable, so I decided to give them some new life. So far I've only made a skirt, but I've got a couple more elaborate projects on the way as soon as I'm a bit more motivated...the others will actually require some sewing so they'll take a bit longer than this one did.
Behold! I love t-shirt skirts so much, they're like the most comfortable thing ever. This one is totally a Roo skirt because I don't know if there's anywhere else where a tiedye skirt would make sense.
From the back...almost an action shot.
Now that's an action shot! My favorite thing about t-shirt skirts is the way they twirl, so I had to take a picture like that. Apologies for the fact that it almost turned into a gratuitous ass shot - I spent a while spinning in circles trying to take a picture that wasn't a complete gratuitous ass shot! Uh, and also, ignore the fact that having my shirt pushed up so you can see the skirt combined with the odd position makes me look somewhat pregnant.
Alright, sorry for filling the thread with pictures but I'm excited! More tiedyed monstrosities on the way soon, hopefully!
