There are always so many articles about music festival fashion and it's in my opinion a little bit over the top. I think music festivals are to be a place of comfort and there is a huge difference between the day and the night. For example, this weekend I'll be at rainbow serpent and the dressing up/costume stuff is intense but at night time it's far too cold to be wearing anything but thermals, padded jackets and gloves.
In addition you have to navigate usually pretty extreme weather conditions and in Australia at this time of the year it usually means dust and lots of it. This year there is water, mud and that means gumboots. I got some cheapies which I hope will last me.
I really hope it doesn't end up like this...
