Hey girls! First timer to Roo this year and I'm sooooo excited I'm trying to plan out what to wear,I hit up a thrift store to add to my skirt collection,I'm hoping for some advice...just how much should I pack? I was planning on wearing flip-flops or berkinstocks if I have to wear shoes,but can't I just go barefoot most of the time? I was also just going to bring a few bathing suit tops to wear under my shirt so I don't have to worry with my bra getting wet... I'm up for any helpful suggestions Thanks so much!
I did bathing suit tops last year, all halters, and I won't be doing it again! My neck and shoulders hurt so bad by Saturday morning, I had trouble lifting my arms. If you decide to do bathing suit tops, stick with regular ones, NOT the halters! I suppose it would depend on your chest size though, some people may be comfortable in a halter top. Comfort is key!!
Side note: My chest isn't small but not huge either, just normal! But I think it was the stress on my neck combined with carrying a backpack all day and dancing that killed my neck. A deep neck/shoulder massage by a friend helped tremendously!
seriously, this thread keeps me happy at work. and broke too
OH! AND!!! i know some of you have mentioned just getting bike shorts from walmart or whatever, but Old Navy has some "moisture-wicking" leggings for $15 right now. AND if you use the code "NEW30" on any of the new arrivals, you get 30% off.
I'm a merchandiser for Old Navy and hell, I didn't even know we had moisture wicking leggings. You're showing me up!
Ok I'm lost,why do u need bike shorts or leggings?? I'm guessing so u don't get 'chub rub' in skirts? I'm not huge,but after 3 babies I'm a lil 'thick' and was worried about that after 4 days of walking in the sun.. . Lol I'm also getting on here with my blackberry,and will be until I get a new charger for my laptop

I would suggest wearing something on your feet, at least on the way to/from Centeroo from/to your camping area. Security is mounted, so that means horse poo. They can be hard to find and dodge in the dark when you're hiking back.

Always wear something under your skirt/dress at Roo, unless you are so skinny that your inner thighs never touch unless you cross your legs! Your legs will be thanking you for thinking of them!
Gotcha! Lol nope,not skinny enough-havent been for 10 years... Horse poo-yummy!!! I'm worried about my hair a bit,its not long enough to pull back anymore(angle bob) any suggestions? I'm thinkin of tying it back with a scarf?? Thanks for all the great advice! I'm so glad I found you guys!!
Even if you are super skinny, wear something under your skirts or dresses. It makes it a lot nicer to sit on the pokey grass and you don't have to worry about flashing if you lie down for a quick nap.

Scarves and bandanas are HUGE for many reasons
1. hold your hair back 2. cover your greasy, dirty hair 3. cover your scalp so it doesn't burn 4. add color to your outfit 5. soak up sweat so it doesn't run down your face 6. cover your forehead when sunscreen just isn't enough

Nothing is worse than sweating so bad that your "Sweat proof facial sunscreen" runs into your eyes. Nothing burns like it does.
I use Clinique sunscreen on my face. It stays on and won't clog your pores. Plus it has a little tint, so it helps cover up any blemishes without makeup. I think it's kind of expensive, but somehow I have managed to accumulate a bunch of free samples

i think im just going to buy a couple maxi dresses (the long flowy ones) , braid/twist my hair back and wear a bathing suit underneath...and hopefully my feet wont blister in rainbows. ive walked long distances in them and they never make my feet hurt, i had havaianas and those hurt after awhile.

Wear whatever makes your comfy! As for shoes, bring two pair! No matter how comfy your "main" pair may be, you might want to switch things up. I remember putting on sneakers after wearing Crocs all weekend... my feet were happy to have a change!
The big concern with wearing flip-flop style shoes is that if it gets super muddy, the flip-flops can get "sucked" off of your feet. So just be cautious of the mud
Also think about the water stations. The water in there flows nonstop so once inside, your feet are likely to get wet. And then entering and exiting you might have to jump over a mud puddle. So you want shoes that are either quick-drying or you don't mind walking around in while wet and that aren't going to immediately fall off your feet if you have to make a jump.

ive never been able to figure out why they dont put wooden panels as ramps at the sides of the water stations. it would be an easy remedy to the mud at the end of each one. nothing is more annoying than coming out of your "shower" and having to jump directly into the mud at the end.
Oh my gosh... so I confess, I watch Rachel Ray in the mornings. Something about my morning tea and RR just starts my day. Well, today I am SOOO glad I caught it! She had a guy from Project Runway on there who was modernizing old clothes.
He took plain tees, sprinkled various objects (guitar picks, buttons, pieces of paper, dog tags, leaves... anything you like) on them. Then he sprayed the tees with bleach. He let it set until the color he wanted was achieved, then he sprayed them with vinegar (to stop the bleaching) and shook off the objects. The shirts had great negative spaces and really neat colors when he was done. I am SOOO goning to try this out ASAP.
Ok, so I just got my Kariza (the one pictured) and I have NO CLUE how to get it to look like that! And it's way shorter than I expected. My boyfriend kept coming into the bedroom after it was delivered and commenting on it. I can't wait till the weather gets nicer so I can wear it out.

Yeah, I still haven't been able to figure it out either. I forget who it was who tried to explain it to me when I asked, but I sort of got close with those instructions - but it still didn't look good and it definitely didn't look like the picture! It's driving me crazy, I can't come up with a single way to wear the damn thing. Guess I wasted the $20 on that.
