Once upon a time, I used to listen to post-hardcore music and spend my weekends at shows, watching boyfriends play their guitar and making new friends like my pal Tieka. Now, I’m 26 and while my weekends at shows and dating broke boys in bands have long passed, I still enjoy those same bands I loved five, 10+ years ago. Which is why, for nostalgic reasons, I bought tickets to Bledfest, a music festival where some of my favorite bands from back in the day played.
I wanted to be comfortable for the hours of standing I was prepared for, but still a little bad ass to show those 15 year old’s this lady still has it. Add a vintage Chanel bag and white shorts and I found myself a practical and fun outfit for the festival, a more grown up version of what I might have picked out to wear 10 years ago.

You look great! I love your boots. I've been thinking about getting a cute cover for my iPhone but I've always been defaulting back to black.

you look absolutely incredible; i am sure all adolescent ladies there were put to utter shame.
i used to go to tons of live music…… lots of freak folk, lots of punk, local underground hip hop, etc. now, only a few years later but a professional career under my belt, i always feel a bit out of place. just momentarily…. then the music starts, washes over me, and any gaps in experience or clothing choice just don't matter anymore.

Great concert outfit. I too used to be heavy into emo and hardcore… think along the lines of bands from Underoath, to Emery… and Armor for Sleep. Miss those days. And those band boys are dangerous… be careful. = P
