My Summer Festival get-up...

We have tickets for T in the Park, but I doubt we will go. The line-up is really good, but comprises mostly of bands that The Kenneth and I have seen three or four times already including, The Killers, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, James, Maximo Park, Bloc Party etc etc. And don't even get me started on the toilets. The toilets at T are awful. The thought of mixing with the rif raf that attend T in the Park also  leaves me cold. The last couple of years, I have felt that less and less people are going for the music and more to get drunk/drugged up/cause fights which does nothing for the stereotypical image of Glasgow louts. 

Pukkelpop on the other hand, is completely different. The line-up already rivals T, with N*E*R*D, Kraftwerk and Arctic Monkeys. The Monkeys, I can take or leave, but N*E*R*D's first album, is one of my favourites ever! Shortly after I first starting dating The Kenneth, we went through to Edinburgh for the MTV Europe Music Awards After Show gig where N*E*R*D were playing. It was amazing! Justin Timberlake, (baring in mind this was at the peak of his solo career), came out on stage and everyone went mental! Such a good night! And on top of that fantastic news, the toilets at Pukkelpop are always being cleaned, and there is absolutely no drunk rowdy folk. (I just re-read that last sentence...I am obviously getting older!)

Anyway, regardless what festival we go to this year (PUKKELPOP!), I have been looking online for some festival friendly clothing. Forget about wellies, waterproof trousers and cagouls. Pukkelpop is in Belgium and for the last three years, the weather has been roasting!

I found this cute outfit on the always fabulous Topshop website that is perfect for strolling around scoffing Mexican Wraps, drinking Cherry Beer and listening to the best music!
