FASHION | CONCERT OUTFITS

If I could sum up my life in three words, concerts would definitely be one of them.  Of course, just as any other major or minor event in a girl's life, the primary question is, "what do I wear?!" My friends and I get asked all the time, so I thought I would attempt to compile a mini lookbook. Here's the first of more to come!

Since the vast majority of concert events are at night, I like to keep a "night time" color palette with mostly dark shades.  I tend to dance around (and drink) a lot so I like to wear things that I can keep cool in.  I'd consider concerts to be kind of special events, so why not spend time getting dolled up to see you favorite bands!

"sugar & spice"

tube top: forever 21
shorts: forever 21
sandals: asos
necklace: forever 21
lipstick: mac vegas volt

Denim shorts have always been a wardrobe staple of mine, and an all time fave.  I recently picked up this pair from forever 21, distressed and acid-washed. I tucked a plain back tube top into them and paired it with a black & silver spiked necklace. I wore these white heeled jelly sandals to go with the edginess of the acid-wash.  Then I finished off the look with a bright orange-pink lip to give myself a bit of color!



"throwback edge"

crop top: charlotte russe
disco pants: american apparel
necklace: forever 21
flannel: forever 21
boots: h&m
lipstick: mac diva

Three pieces in this look are old styles that have come back into modern fashion. I paired my black disco pants with a plain grey crop top and a gold chain necklace. Then I rolled the pants up a bit at the ankles and wore these cutout boots I've been loving from h&m.  The flannel was tied around my waist, overlapping the disco pants since they come up higher than my actual hips.  Then to go with the dark colors and red flannel, I used a dark vampy red lipstick!

"one piece"

overalls: river island
crop top: forever 21
boots: h&m
lipstick: mac diva

I've been obsessed with these acid-washed overalls since I bought them last summer.  I like to wear them with crop tops to add a little air so it's not so constricting.  I originally had it with both buckles on, but ended up unhooking one side at the concert because I liked it better that way.  I tucked the loose buckle into the back pocket so it wouldn't keep swinging around. I wore the same cut out ankle boots as in the previous look and went again with my favorite dark vampy red lip!



"spiked out"

romper: arden b
shoes: jeffrey campbell
necklace: forever 21
lipstick: revlon violet frenzy

I decided to bring back an old favorite, this black ruffled romper. Since it was a lot of black, I wanted to add some louder details to accessorize.  I paired it with the ever popular grey spiked lita and my spiked necklace from the first look. Then on my lips I wore a nice purple color for that pop!
