WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL
Okay gurls, I need some input. I will be attending the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam 2016 this Labor Day!!! I am totally stoked about attending this 3 day concert in Panama City Beach, Florida. I said “totally” and “stoked,” it must be 1999 again. Hahaha!So what’s the problem, you might ask. I haven’t attended a concert in ages, and I mean ages. I think the last time I attended a concert, the kids were small and I was at 6 Flags over Georgia. I saw Jimmy Buffett, and yes I was a parrot head. I have attended a few other concerts in my time, from Z Z Top, Willie Nelson, and the Osmond Brothers, to Michael Jackson. But, I have NEVER attended a huge outdoor festival, and certainly not one that is three days long.
So what’s the problem, you might ask. I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR!!! Better yet, I don’t know WHAT to wear. What do you wear to an outdoor festival? You have to take into account that it will be in Florida, and it is on Labor Day. It will be hot!!! I am talking about the outdoor temperature, not about how Jake Owens looks in jeans. (Which I hear he split in a concert a couple years ago)
All I can think about is wearing cowboy boots, (I don’t own any), daisy-duke denim shorts, (I don’t own any), and cropped t-shirts. (I don’t own that either) Are you starting to see my dilemma? So, I did what everyone else on the planet does…… I went to Pinterest! Lol! Source 
What do you think about these choices? I love the Umgee dress, it is really cute. The plaid dress just screams country. Add some cowboy boots, and you are all set. The long flowy maxi dress is just perfection. It is thin, so I don’t think it would be too hot. Also, you wouldn’t have to wear cowboy boots, so that is a big plus. The next two dresses are similar. The black one has wide straps instead of the spaghetti straps on the gray one. I just think a dress will be cooler, what do you gurls think? The shorts and tank outfit is super easy. This would look perfect, be cool, and look appropriate.
Have you noticed the advertisement for the festival on the right hand side of the post? I am so proud of myself! I figured out how to load the image, AND how to fix the link so that when you click on the image it takes you to the site to purchase tickets. You need to try it out, even if you are not sure about attending the festival.
But let’s talk about attending the festival. Here are some reason’s you need to go to the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam:
- It’s Labor Day! Most people have a three-day weekend available, even if you work for a living.
- It is in Florida! Sand, Sun, and Fun
- Brad Paisley, Jake Owen, and Eric Church, plus Sara Evans and The Band Perry
- I’LL BE THERE!!!! Thanks to the good folks who are promoting the event, I get to attend. AND…..
Here is the best part, so do some of you. I have been given 6 tickets (3-Day General Admission Ticket) to give away to three lucky winners.

I think you should stick with cute, flat sandals and maybe a print shorts romper.
I would concentrate on finding the perfect cowboy hat! Then choose a cool sleeveless top and appropriate length shorts. Boots sound cute but definitely HOT (hate when my feet are hot) and the younger generation tends to over wear that style with their Daisy Dukes. I’d go with cute, comfy sandals. Nothing says country better that a cowboy hat! I’ve never liked the idea of dresses during a hot outdoor event…sweat dripping everywhere lol You always look amazing! Have fun!
I have a house in PCB, and am always there on Labor day. You will have to walk a long distance to get to the venue. So comfortable shoes. It will be extremely hot, so shorts and cool top. No one dresses up…just jeans or shorts. Mosquitos will be fierce…so take repellant. And expect traffic to be very slow. Last year it rained, but the show went on….so be sure to pack an umbrella. Also, be careful with your purse and belongings…thieves abound! They can do it in a second! Have fun! Enjoy your blog!
I think that if you do not own cowboys that are broken in – this could create sore feet. Wear cute flat sandals since you will be standing and dancing a lot. Something cool that drapes away from the body for maximum cool air flow. Lots of sunscreen – maybe a cute hat. You will want to be comfortable! This sounds like so much fun!
Enjoy!
I like the plaid dress with boots… Or the modified short outfit!! You will look great in whatever you wear!! Love the outfit you are in today!
I think I might skip the cowboy boots and go with sandals (cute ones of course!).Your feet will be much happier! I love the long flowing dress. And SUNSCREEN!!!!
Love the long flowy dress but definitely will be too hot. Maybe the same thing in a shore version. Is the concert on the beach/in the sand? If so, no cowboy boots. Too hot! Flip flops or no shoes at all. And of course cutoffs and a tank top will always work. And a hat, you need a cowboy hat. 1 because it is a cowboy hat and 2 to keep the sun off your face. Have fun!! and take lots of pics!
The sandals with fringe would be cute with some denim shorts and maybe a gauze top. Cool is key. Boots would be cute, but hot and get uncomfortable throughout the day (especially new boots) Hope you have a wonderful time.
You could buy some jean shorts that are long enough, and cut just the hem off so you have that rugged look. Plaid shirt def! Have fun!
WOW! You gurls are up and going early this Saturday morning. I’ve had a really bad headache (weather related) and tight and tense shoulders, so I tried to sleep in. I agree with you, that Glamour Farms has the look I am going toward. I am going to be shopping my closet, looking for something I already own, and then throwing in a few extras. Since it will be sandy, I think sandals will be essential. I already have a denim dress and also a denim skirt, so that might be one look. I know for sure that sunscreen, a hat of some kind, bug spray, and probably a light jacket for when it gets dark will be going with me. Thanks for all your suggestions, I am off to check out Glamour Farms. Lol!
I live in Panama City Beach. It will be warm so I suggest shorts and a loose top and comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot. A shorter loose dress with boots would be a great option. You will almost always have a good breeze at PierPark. A cowboy hat would be great to protect you from the sun. The mosquitos come out at dusk so bug spray and longer sleeves/pants are better for at night. September is beautiful down here.
