Lollapalooza

Before heading back to Nevada from Wisconsin, my brother, cousin and I just had to stop by Lollapalooza for a day mainly to see the headliner, The Black Keys, as well as some other bands we're quite fond of. It turned out to be an excellent way to close out our summer in the midwest.

I'm wearing an El Camino Black Keys shirt that made me gasp when I came across it at a THRIFT STORE yeah, that's right... $6.40. The shorts are another pair of hand dyed and studded cut off shorts that I bought at the Gypsy Den (Similar to the ones I wore at Bonnaroo this year). The vintage beaded purse is from a thrift store in Reno, I bought it for $4.00. And to top it all off, I'm wearing my favorite shape of sunglasses (round that is) which I bought two for $8.00 at the Maxwell Street Days sale at Ragstock in Madison, WI.

 We spotted Reggie Watts on the ferris wheel just before we went to his set in the Comedy Tent. Hilarious dude.

The last night at Bonnaroo & it was raining. I'm wearing a thrifted dress, my go-to spiked necklace from The Gypsy Den, and a sweater from The Gap's sale.

So basically Bonnaroo was/is awesome. We scored on some unusually cool weather for the fest this year and we were not complaining. This was my first year attending and it was amazing. And even though I did go to a festival that was hundreds of miles away from home, I still managed to stay true to my thrifty-ness. Instead of paying for a $300 four day pass plus camping and $240 travel expenses, we decided to volunteer at the fest through the Work Exchange Team (WET) which covered our full ticket, camping, and three $8 meal tokens to use at the festival vendors... it was a really great deal.
