How to Dress for the CMA Fest (& Other Summer Country Concerts!)

June 5, 2013

Hi sweet readers!

This week is a BIG week for country music fans as the CMA Fest is in Nashville starting tomorrow through Sunday. One of my best friends (and previous college roomie) invited me to go with her on Thursday night and I am SO stinking excited because my girl Taylor Swift will be there, along with Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert and Eric Church among many others. 

So of course this special event calls for brainstorming about what in the world to wear! I have been to the CMA Fest twice before, and you do spend some time outdoors walking and listening to music, but also a lot of time inside if you go to the autograph hall. A comfortable pair of shoes, something cool, and some rain gear in your purse are all requirements. And above all, it goes without saying it should be cute (this IS a fashion blog after all)! 

A few months ago I went to Nashville with a friend and was waiting for the perfect time to post my country music lovin-inspired ensemble. I've said it once and I will say it again...I firmly believe you cannot go wrong with a dress & cowgirl boots (and throw a pair of flip flops in your purse if your feet start hurting). With that being said, if you're headed to the CMA Fest this year, or to any country concert for that matter, here's a little outfit inspiration.... 







Dress: Forever 21
Belt: Body Central
Denim Jacket: Gap
Necklace: Body Central


So is anyone else going to some fun concerts this summer!? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Thank you so much for stopping by dolls!

XOXO

  3. You look so adorable! And it's nice to see some hot cowboy boots instead of the usual brown.
