Street Festival Attire

Another weekend, another street festival. It seems that every time you blink in Chicago, another street festival appears. With that comes the burning question – “What do I wear??” Well Jess from The Golden Girl Blog, Lauren from Lake Shore Lady, Jill from Hot Pink Style and Soraya from Chic Flavours have everything you need when it comes to fashion for some of Chicago’s top street festivals. A few weeks ago we were all on WGN Morning News showcasing our fashion finds for Chicago’s best street festivals – Taste of Greektown, Wicker Park Fest, Shefflield Garden Walk and more. See the full segment below. 

Representing the Wicker Park Fest, I went with a flowly, tie-dye, silk dress from Aritzia. The slip is shorter than the dress, which I love – it adds an element of sexy to the look. So not hipster, but then again this is my twist on a hipster look. This dress has ease and can be easily accessorized for any street festival. When you’re outside all day, its about comfort. I paired the dress with a gladiator sandal that has a block heel – they are comfortable AND stylish. Thats not too much to ask for at all I topped it off with a bucket bag, so that I could bring my life with me, a panama hat to keep shade from the sun, a pair of retro sunnies and statement necklace to tie it all together. 

My favorite element is this custom leather bracelet from Studdly Bracelets. Maggie, the owner, designer and creator, is nothing short of amazing. You can shop her pieces on Etsy or contact her for a custom design. Enjoy

Happy Friday all! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram during my travels!
