With my impending festival getting closer and the weather taking a turn for the worse this weekend I have been seriously considering my festival fashion wardrobe.

I suffer the same deliberations every year.. 7 years on and it doesn't get any easier. Trying to prep my wardrobe for rain, shine and muddy fields is a lot harder than it sounds. The uncertain British weather wreaks havoc on my festival packing and I never seem to get the balance right. Trying to stay warm while still trying to look effortlessly 'festival chic' its a chore in itself.

My absolute festival necessities are a good old pair of boots, a pair of sandals just incase we might ever see a little bit of sun, lots of layers you can add or peel off, a trusty parka for when the rain comes and not forgetting the most important wellies.

The first two outfits have been out together in the hope it will be nice and sunny this year at Leeds festival. However, if not (and lets face it, it ain't looking good) the same outfits can easily be transformed with a pair of wellies and a few extra layers, including that parka.

I love these wellies from Ted Baker. I went crazy for them last year but they were sold out everywhere. I am seriously considering buying them as last year my trusty Topshop wellies finally decided they'd have enough and split right up the back... thank god it was the last night as the mud was practically knee deep!

What are your festival fashion must haves? Do you have any top tips?

  3. Love those wellies - I suppose my tip would just be to wear something warm. Being in a field for 4 days gets so bloody cold!! xx
