Too Cute At Coachella

Coachella [noun] Co-chell-a: A three-day concert event in Indio, California where one will undoubtedly sweat profusely, pass out in the grass from heat exhaustion, have beer spilled upon oneself, be pushed and shoved by thousands or other spectators and most likely bleed from crowd surfers and/or broken beer bottles. That being said, who on earth would wear the best of the best designer gear to such an event? As a huge concert-goer (pretty psyched about the Lollapalooza 2009 lineup!) I often wonder what I’m going to wear…or not wear. However, a Roberto Cavalli romper and a Raquel Allegra top were definitely not on my list of things to sport at a show. After Lollapalooza 2008, I came home with ruined gladiators, a broken pair of sunglasses, grass stains on my cut offs and unidentified splotches on my sundress. So, tell me, why one earth would you wear some $800 silk chiffon garb to Coachella? By all means, look cute…but save the designer stuff for a classy, sit-down event.
Thanks Elle!
