its you go to american apparel and walk toward the river its only a few stores down. its near the irish sports bar across from broadway brewhouse. i cant think of the name but its suggestive that its a hippie store. they had the wrap pants and skirts on sale and other things. their wrap skirts are all one of a kind pieces made from vintage fabric.
i got a really cool print wrap for 4 bucks!
as for sanuks. i think they run a bug snug but id say this is so they dont fall off your ankle. if they are a little snug just take a few zips in the elastic or sides with a razor and you are set. ive even sewn mine up a bit. the thong sandals are true fitting.
hey guys, i thought i'd post this just in case anyone is interested:
someone posted on here a while back about some non-ugly crocs she bought at roo. i went investigating on their site and found a bunch of cute mary jane styles that are way better looking than the original clog style which some may like, but i really hate. probably because i have big feet.
anyway i met a girl at a roller derby scrimmage out of town this weekend and she was wearing almost the exact pair that were posted here. she was the same size as me so she let me try them on and they are SO SO SO comfortable. seriously. in case anyone is wondering about shoes i thought you might like to know about these. you can't even really tell they are crocs by looking at them.
I would be careful if you decided to get the Alice style (the first ones posted) because there aren't any ventilation holes. I would imagine your feet would sweat. The other two look good on ventilation though. I have the mary jane style of Crocs, which are still clog-like but a bit cuter. I don't know how I could manage Roo (or trips to the river) without my Crocs!
Can anyone tell me if Sanucks run big or small or are they pretty true to size? I was going to order some online but have never tried on a pair
I can tell ya that I ordered some last year, ordered maybe a half size larger than I actually wear (for some reason) and they ended up being wayyy too big. So I ordered a pair that was half a size down from what I usually wear and they fit like a glove. I imagine it could be different for different styles of Sanuks though..
Hi there my GFT ladies! So, Im waiting to hear back from an etsy girl on making our buttons. I sent her my idea.... it's a pretty poor rendering, but all I could do with the Paint program on my computer I want a different font, and Im thinking we can do another one with a different color "GFT" and thread spool... Im sure the Etsy girl will come back with something a little cleaner and polished! Here's your preview... Hope you guys like it!!! ALLLLLL suggestions are totally welcome!

^^^ Ridiculously cute! I can't wait to sport mine!
We should make little prayer flag-type things with GFT on them to put over our tent entrances, ya know, so the god's of fashion bless our Roo wardrobes.

^^^dcbee - I can totally add Inforoo above the GFT. Im so impatient for the Esty vendor to get back to me!!! Im like, excited
AND - from the crafty tutorials link that Clarity sent a few pages back, i found a tutorial on how to do a cheap screen print.... so once i have the finalized graphic for the buttons, i bet i can make little flags as Dani suggested. ...Seriously do not know why I am in such insane crafting mode - but Im just gonna go with it!
Maybe it's because I'm just not interested in doing work today

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.
Mayo- I'm glad you liked the prayer flag idea! It just seems like everyone where I live has them up and it would be an easy way to spot fellow GFTers all over the campsites.
I was at Target this week and they have some soft, jersey-knit-like dresses for $20. Tank-top style top, not spaghetti straps, so you could actually wear a bra! I believe they are the Merona brand, which I associate with Target's "nicer" stuff, but they could easily be a great Roo dress. There were several colors to choose from, and they were sooooo soft. I'm not allowed to buy any more Roo dresses (I have way too many), but I was very tempted to put in my cart.
Ok, scratch that. I went back to Target today and looked at those dresses again. They are still cute but they are a rayon/spandex material, so I wouldn't suggest them for Roo. Cotton is the way to go!
I just ordered a pair of croc flip flops! When they come I plan on walking around the block a lot to see if I like them and if they will do well at bonnaroo.
about the crocs... I hate regular crocs. They are too chunky and enclose my feet too much. Buuut I have worn mary jane crocs for the last 2 Roo's and Rothbury last year and they are great. I don't really wear them except at festivals, but for festivals they are PERFECT. I have a tendency to get tendonitis in my feet due to high arches, so flip flops start to be painful. Crocs cushion my feet, plus the strap keeps them on in the mud, and with the mary jane style they are lighter and my foot is more exposed. I have never had the "sweaty feet" problem with them. They are the only shoes I wear there even in rain and mud and I was fine. I do suggest wearing them in before you go though because new crocs can sometimes leave a blister where the plastic circle is ( this was more of a problem for me because of my very high arch, so the top strap was tighter) and the bottom isn't as cushiony at first.
I'm sure all of this has been said before... just wanted to reiterate.
hi ladies. forever 21 has some summer floppy hats. i know some of you were looking into purchasing one for roo. my advice is to pick up some hat pins so that you can structure it so that it doesnt fall too low and bug you. i put a pin on one side near the head and this provides just a tiny bit of lift which prevents it from drooping.
OMG. I actually had a dream about shopping for dresses at Target. I think I have a problem.
But, speaking of hats, Josh surprised me with a Jessica Simpson floppy hat. I love it! I've already worn it around the yard to keep the sun off of my neck and shoulders, and it's great. Plus it is super cute. It naturally does that cool wave thing in the front, but I think I will need to get a couple hat pins before I wear it to any fests or other all day events. I can't find the exact hat I got, but it's like this one with a different bandana

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!!
