SXSW Festival Outfit Inspiration
Good morning! Hope you’re having a great week – we’re SO close to the weekend, can’t wait!! SXSW festival begins next week in Austin, so this weekend is kind of the pre-party phase and I have some blogger pals coming into town that I can’t wait to meet! I feel like I know so many amazing ladies in the blogger community all over the country just from communicating over social media or email, so it will be pretty cool to finally meet a few of those women in person! Looking forward to grabbing cocktails and having some serious girl time! 😉
Sooo…given that SXSW is upon us, I wanted to feature a super easy-to-wear “festival-ish” look…but really, you could wear this any time and it would be a killer outfit (…like to coffee with friends, brunch with your beau or let’s be honest, to the grocery store and running errands around town – ha! …Because inevitably, I will have to make a Target run at some point over the weekend haha).
My tank top is by Free People and I actually own it now in two colors (the black and lilac) and y’all, it’s just $20! I am wearing a size XS and the fit is amazing and the cut of the top is SO flattering! Love the halter style neckline and flow-y vibe of the bottom. This is a spring to summer MUST-HAVE in my opinion! (…Yep, busting out the all caps again haha! I must reaaaaally like this top! 😉 ). I paired it with my go-to black distressed skinny jeans by Topshop – I’ve already gotten so much wear out of these (under $70) and I can’t wait to bust them out again for SXSW festivities, too. I recommend ordering a size up because they run quite snug! Given that spring hasn’t “officially” started, your city may still be getting cooler temps, so having a plaid flannel button up handy is a smart idea – when it gets warm out, just tie it around your waist! Voila – instant ’90s “coolgirl” outfit complete. 😉
Finally, I’m wearing my new ankle booties by Seychelles and OMG these are SO CUTE I cannot deal! They look amazing with a boho-ish dress or with jeans and they’re incredibly comfortable. They fit true to size & I’m wearing the taupe color – highly recommend these! My sunnies are Ray Ban (can’t go wrong with the Wayfarer style frames + these fit both me and Blake, so we can share!) and my handbag is Brahmin, such a perfect size and complementary color to the outfit – I love this thing!
Alrighty gals, keeping it short and sweet today – already running late for work (blehh, what is my life?!) and still need to squeeze in time to get myself a coffee and chocolate croissant (priorities right?) …I treated myself to a choco-croissant yesterday and ever since then cannot stop thinking about it again haha! I am a hot mess – well aware! 😉
Have a wonderful day, ladies!! XO

I love this look. I hope you have a lot of fun with SXSW. I bought the Free People thermal you had on instagram. I love it! I bought it in black and wore it to work this week. It was so comfy! Now I am going to have to look into this tank for the summer. You always find the cutest stuff!!

Thank you, Irina!! I hope you had a great time, it was such a nice little escape in our own city!!! XO
You look awesome. I’ve been looking at these shoes for some time now. I’m looking for versatile boots that can be worn with almost anything. Would you ever wear these with socks? And will you ever post different looks you’ve worn with these boots? I just found your blog so I’m going to check after I post it to see if you have.
Hello there! These shoes are AMAZING! I wear them ALL the time – if you scroll through my Instagram feed (@livvylandblog), you’ll see me wearing them quite often! Great with dresses, shorts, jeans – and this color goes with everything, too. Highly recommend these shoes! I wear the super thin nude “no show” socks and they’re great. 🙂
Here are a couple of my latest Instagrams where I’m wearing the shoes:
