I realize I'm neither a girl nor do I have anything to do with this little project, but what the hell I was bored at work and decided to screw around with the button idea.
^^^DUuuuuuude! Wolf, that's awesome. I totally love it! I will send to my Etsy girl this week. Thanks for goofin' off in PS for the GFT! and karma to you for THAT!
The buttons are being purchased on Wednesday, ladies! Im getting a pack of 100. so there's plenty to go round. Once I have them in hand, I'll get anyone who want's theirs pre-Roo to pm me their addresses and I'll send em out. The way it works with this girl is that we'll "work" on the layout and graphic together, then when I'm satisfied she'll start making them. So if any of you have any further color preferences, layout ideas, etc, let your suggestions be known

those are super cute, i just don't do well with hats in festival settings...or anything covering my head like that. i LOVE the etsy headbands that you linked us to, though. can't wait to use them!!
I'm not normally a hat person either, but I am determined to not have tan lines at my wedding in July. So hats and high SPF lotion when I'm out and about, and a little topless laying out at home.

haha...fair enough! i wanna see your dress!! are you getting married back in ohio?
I just picked up a new Marmot shell that I am stoked about! It's lime green, very lightweight, fits snugly, has a lot of pockets and is waterproof with a hood. I couldn't be happier!
It'll be perfect for running around at night and if (when) we get a downpour.
Julie, I don't think we can get sparkles... These are pretty basic, she prints, cuts, and punches the buttons. I also wish there could be sparkle, but I think the buttons are just too small too.
The gray background was too dark. So we've moved to white. I'm okay with it, but I was then thinking "maybe we get crazy and bust out like, yellow?!" finally, I kinda dig the font she came up with. But of course, I'm ready for thoughts I also realize we likely can't please everyone, but if there is something you like, deTEST, please speak up!

oh holy CRAP
uh apparently I have neglected you girls for a long time! Okay, I'll admit it, I've sort of neglected ALL of inforoo for a long time! As soon as clue madness started I basically began ignoring everything but the clue board. And then clue madness of course ran right into lineup madness, so I moved from the clue board out to the Troo Music Lounge, but...apparently I never ventured outside of there? Hahaha I really thought I had popped in here a few times, but I just wandered in now and I had about 5 full pages to read, so I guess it's been a while!
So hope you girls are doing well. The buttons look super cute! I can't wait to wear them at the brunch - hopefully this time I'll actually talk to more people! ;D
In other news, my birthday was the 5th and my mom got me a bunch of clothes from Target. I had to return a few things, so I ended up with some store credit which was just awesome since I'm still jobless and broke and I haven't actually bought anything in...probably 6 months. But I was kinda disappointed in the shopping trip because there were a couple things that they didn't have in the color I wanted in my size and then a couple other things that didn't fit right. I tried on two skirts that looked super cute on the hanger and not so much on me, haha. And then there was a dress that was really cute AND super comfy and it would have been a perfect roo dress, but it just refused to fit me correctly. It seemed to just be weirdly shaped...apparently my boobs were too big for it, and uhhh let's just say that if MINE are too big, NOBODY would be able to wear it. So frustrating! But I ended up with two tanks, a pair of shorts, and a t-shirt from my mom and then a sweater, another tank, and another pair of shorts that I picked out myself. Plus lots of undies! So no real roo finds, but oh well, I still got some good stuff.
Hope life's treating you all well! I promise I'll stop neglecting you girls and I'll be around here more often from now on. Well, y'know, unless I finally find a job! (OMG SOMEBODY PLEASE FIND ME A JOB SO I CAN COME TO ROO.)
Hey Ladies - final button update! I had Ali put Wolf's bones on the pin - so they'd stand out more. and I also asked her to put it on a light yellow and a mint background so we could see it versus the white. She said we could do any kind of split - so I could get half white, half mint, whatever.
Its the same link as before : buttonhead.org/custom-red.html Check em out! Let me know what you guys think! And Im gonna have her print them up! Yay!

^^^I like the mint too! Im thinking 50/50 white/mint. Thanks for offering up some extra dough, Julie! I've already paid for them, so no worries - maybe you can buy me an AREPAS at Roo!

I was at Target today and discovered that Tresemme (sp?) now has dry, spray shampoo. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't attest to how well it works, but it could definitely be good for Roo.

I like the mint too! Looks really good. The only sliiight issue I can see is that the thread that's sort of unraveling from the spool kinda disappears when it gets out from in front of the spool itself. Like when it crosses over the edge of the spool so it's just against the background, it looks a lot thinner. Which wouldn't be a problem except that I think you said you're going with 1 inch buttons? idk if I'm right about that but if so, I'm afraid the thread will totally disappear at that size. Buuut it's still not a huge deal even if it does, so it might not be worth asking your button girl about it, idk. Whatever you like!
I wish I had money for some crafty ventures. If I ever find a job, if I can come up with a bit of cash to spare I'd really love to work on some Roo-type things to sell on Etsy. At one point I was thinking of trying to make the perfect festie purse, because I've had such difficulty finding something perfect. If I did that, it would definitely have a little gap in the strap somewhere so you could hide glowsticks in the strap!
Since we aren't making it to Bonnaroo this year I bought something for little Audrey's arrival that she can wear at home that weekend so we will be there in spirit while all you lovely ladies rock your hippie outfits and jam out. We'll be watching FUSE thinking about ya'll!
Hello all! I have spent the last hour or so reading over posts on this thread from the years past. I feel like I know some of you already.
I have been Roo Fashion obsessed since I thought I might have the opportunity to go last year. That didn't pan out, but I definitely have my ticket for this year!
Now I just have to decide what to wear... I'm getting married in July, and finding the dress seemed like a piece of cake compared to Roo wear.

Welcome, Annabelle! I love that your first post on Inforoo was here in the GFT. Glad to hear you'll be able to make it this year after a disappointment last year.
hi and welcome dont worry too much about roo wear. the most important thing is to be comfortable. its much more important than having something fabulous. as a matter of fact....after you are there for a few hours the more comfortable something is the more fabulous it is.
my advice is to get a couple of cute things but ALSO take extra comfortable basics. take extra shoes and extra bras. if its super hot you may still be able to wear the cute stuff at night when its cooler.
as for me...i wear as little as possible. i like bikini tops because that allows me to tan more and also because i dont have to worry about sweating on a shirt or top. i like comfortable nicely fitting shorts or skirts. i take a pair of jeans for night time and a hoodie. as for being fashionable i stick with the accents and accessories. i have a bikini top with sock monkees on it and i also have several lovely scarves that have a million uses at roo.
whatever you do....dont do what my friend did. she decided she would wear the same clothes the whole time and do the hippie thing. well the idea was fine but when she got there she was uncomfortable and had some chaffing with the skirt she had. ithink she should have aspired to be a hippie (isnt that a goal to have in life) and also taken some other things in case she wanted to be a slacker hippie or hippie light. a couple of extra shorts and an extra bra and shirt doesnt take too much room and can save your butt.
always always always always take extra shoes. you never know when your tried and true shoes will begin to hurt or a strap will break.
annabelle also....someone else on here is getting married in the summer and i know she is making extra plans so she wont have any weird tan lines. i think shes going to wear a hat.
I am all for wearing as little as possible... *swimsuits*.... but I am a ginger, and I'm scared to death of the sun. Sunscreen is for sure my number 1 accessory, and I've been hunting for the perfect sunhat as well. Last summer I went camping with some friends near the beach. We spent one afternoon on the beach, and I applied and re-applied sunscreen but still ended up with blisters all up and down my poor legs that lasted for weeks. I will probably be the most covered person there. I hadn't thought about the tan line deal... my dress is strapless, so maybe I should go strapless at the roo, too. Thanks for the tips!
