Pressing Questions! Xposted like crazy.

This is what I like to think of as a modern-day fannypack... it was part of a skirt from Express that I no longer wear. However, I am going to Intonation Fest (anyone else going?) this weekend at Union Park in Chicago, so I'll be outdoors all day watching bands and getting sweaty. The last thing I want to do is carry a purse, and I hate forcing the boys to carry everything for me, because their pants are tight too. This fits my cigs/lighter, money and credit cards, gum, lipgloss, and keys without a problem. Is it too awful and nerdy or just right for this sort of thing?

In addition to the nouveau-fannypack, I am wearing other necessities such as a headscarf to keep my hair off my face and big sunglasses... anything else I am forgetting that I'll want with me for 2 days out in the elements? The scarf is new, from Value Village, I think it was a few bucks:

I got this for $1 at VV the other day... it's a bit big and I love the pattern, so I want to get it tailored.... until then is it acceptable to wear with a ribbon like this or does that look fucking stupid? I can't decide so your feedback is appreciated:

I have no idea what face I am making, obviously a very annoying/stupid one, but whatever. I love this shirt, it makes me feel like a sailor, and I love the buttons on the shoulder. Fifty cents at VV:

I also got this shirt for $1, and I am in love with the little epaulet-style buttony things on the shoulders. Yes, my camera is obviously the worst one in the world- really need a new one.

i think the fanny pack is kinda cool actually. but i really don't like it w/ that outfit there. i think the rest of the outfit would have to be really cute in order to pull it off, something more fitted and feminine.

as for the VV blue shirt. i think it'd look okay with a real belt and around the waist, raither than a ribbon. but hey, that's me.

The outfit is def. more feminine in real life than it looks here- flowy skirt, ruffley shirt, doesn't get more feminine than that. It's also not as loose-fitting as it looks... doesn't photograph well, and I was going for the fannypack-thing to show up anyway, not the outfit.

Also I kind of hate belts at the waist on myself... it works well on others, but it's just not me. Especially with a button down... with a sweater or a cardigan, maybe, but not here. Thanks for the thoughts, though!

i say go for the fanny pack--i agree, carrying a purse would be a pain in the bum

wtf, why is everything so cheap at your value village. that stuff would at least be 2.50 at mine.


that little fanny thing is nice and small and looks good. personally, i think everything looks good.

My value villages are always cheap for some reason (maybe cause I shop at the ones in Wisconson?) and plus I usually try to go on half off days so it's even cheaper.

Thank you. :)
