Sale at Tilly's on Crocs! At least the Cayman's are among the ones on sale (and a lot of kid's shoes, unfortunately, not a lot of adult ones). And even the Cayman's on sale are only brown. But hey, they're cheaper than usual! Not sure how long it lasts, but the prices are about 50% off. Not too shabby! And it should be early enough to be able to do normal shipping and still get them by 'Roo.

Hey girls, I wanted to post pictures of the skirts I got at old navy but my computer isn't working right. They are called mini gauze skirts, (something along those lines) they are $20 and really cute! They come in brown, turquoise, black, and a wine color. I wasn't planning on wearing skirts but these are super light weight and breezy. Figured I'd let you all know just in case anyone was interested Have a good day!!!
Yeay I just got a new laptop today so I can update this reply with a picture.. these are the skirts from Old Navy I was talking about
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. This thread has TOTALLY served as my clothes porn of choice for some time, I'll have you know! *smile*
My personal style is less hippie, more...Uh, chi-chi Euro-trash...But I've REALLY enjoyed perusing everyone's ideas! I've tried the flowy skirts, but I think I look a little like a wet dog in them *laugh*...Just not happy because they're not me.
I HAVE found some awesomeness on American Apparel's website, though:
...With one of their kewt bandeau bras underneath. All you'd have to do is throw a hoodie (Kitchen Orange has some FABOOO 'uns) and some leggings, and you'd be set to spend the whole day in Centeroo!
Also, for you ladies that like one of a kind creations...Try this:
The AA dress is cute! I've always been jealous of people that can get away with that kind of look, with leggings and such. I'm not a little girl, so anything tight-fitting or revealing is usually a big N-O for me If you like it, go for it!
they sell beads that are handmade for $8 a piece and with the purchase of one bracelet it can help feed a starving child...
here is some info from their site:
The United Nations has recognized the situation in Darfur as "the world's worst humanitarian crisis." Since the conflict began in 2003, more than 2.5 million people have been forced to leave their homes. Relief Beads is a grassroots campaign selling handmade African bracelets to raise awareness and money for Relief International's humanitarian efforts in Darfur. In 2007, Relief International supported tens of thousands of refugees in Darfur and donated more than $14 million to crises worldwide. Relief International's programs are essential for stability in Darfur: they operate the second largest refugee camp, administer medical care at several clinics, provide life-saving therapeutic care to countless children, and fund educational costs for thousands of students
i might buy a few and hand them out to some people at bonnaroo

Hey I was just thinking... what have you girls worn for Pajamas? I purchased some sleep shorts from old navy, but I was wondering if it gets that cold where I should wear pj pants and a sweat shirt, or is it shorts and a T shirt weather? I'll prob bring a little of everything just in case but I was just curious.
I say, wear two layers of thermal underwear underneath a snowsuit for jammies.
It *felt* that cold to me last year...In fact, I think I'm traumatized.
I'd definately throw on layers, culminating in a big sweatshirt topping it off...That way, you can peel layers off as it warms up. (It's like going from Arctic to Sahara in 5 hours)

You will not want to sleep in shorts..... It gets pretty chilly at night. I remember the first night in 2006 where i had 3 layers of clothes on and was in a sleeping bag with blankets over the top. LOL. Even if it is 90 during the day, it can get in the 40s and 50s at night, and after being in that heat for so long, it feels really cold. Then when the sun comes up, you will want to be naked. Welcome to TN weather!!

I always bring a sweatshirt for afterdark. I sleep in that, some jammie pants, and then I bundle up in the sleeping bags. you'll definitely want a jacket/sweatshirt for afterdark.

You'll want something warmer even for the late night shows - a hoodie would be fine, or pants or something if you wanted.
For pajamas, you'll DEFINITELY want something more than just shorts. I think shorts are good to have too because you'll be trying to sleep as long as possible and it'll be hot in the morning. I would go with pajama shorts and then put pants on over them and/or sleep under blankets or sleeping bags. That way when you wake up in the morning you can ditch the blankets, crawl out of the sleeping bag, and pull off the jammie pants, hopefully without waking up TOO much and maybe you could even get back to sleep......okay, maybe that's wishful thinking. Haha. Last year I found that I was still a bit hot and sweaty by the time I was going to bed, so I would change out of whatever shorts I had on that day and put my pajama shorts on instead (mostly really cute little ones, so not much more material than boyshort underpants). Then a few hours later I'd wake up freezing and crawl into the sleeping bag and/or put my comfy comfy corduroy pants on over the shorts. And then a few hours after THAT, I'd wake up boiling to death and have to crawl out of that stuff. Haha. But yes, definitely definitely bring pajama pants, hoodies, blankets, sleeping bags...SOMETHING.

Hi! First post in here! I wanted to thank all the posts for the valueable information, and I feel like I'm going into my second Roo much more prepared than my first. SO.... My friend works at Nordstroms, they are buying the E.L.F. (eyes, lips and face) make up company. The E.L.F. is selling all their makeup for $1. You just pay shipping $6.95. But she said there are plenty of coupon codes around for free shipping. I have heard good things about the quality. P.S. They don't test on animals. Stuff will go quick she said. here is the link. I'm going there now.

Thank you all for clearing up the PJ question for me!! It's pretty crazy how quickly the weather can change!
On another note, to anyone interested in makeup at Roo and *GLITTER* I recently discovered this makeup brand (I am going to go to Sephora and buy it today, haven't tried it yet though.) It is called Make Up Forever (Anyone ever try it?) and they have a bunch of long lasting, water resistant products including loose GLITTER!
And they come in a bunch of different bright colors (even though I never have, I may even wear some :-P )

^^^I posted that e.l.f. info a few pages back, but was then informed that it's a bit of a scam--e.l.f. is *always* $1 and has nothing to do with Nordstrom.
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...

Snopes is the best site ever. Any time I hear about something that sounds too good to be true, it inevitably is and Snopes has a posting about it. At least the makeup really is $1, in this case.
Before I go buckwild...Can anyone vouch for the quality?

I have several products from ELF that I use pretty regularly. I love their eyeliners (and every one comes with a free sharpener!), their blush, and their mascara. They're also a GREAT place to get brushes and tools...the cheapest you can find and they work very well!
OK - I want to buy this skirt but cannot convince myself to do it - it is only $25.00 which is really reasonable (and I can wear it to work also - so it would do double duty if it survived Bonnaroo)
so what are the reasons for not buying it? I often do a little pro/con list in my head and if the pros outweight the cons, then I buy.
The only reason for not buying it is being stingy with money - LOL
as a mom - I am always thinking of things the kids need before things I need but I am leaning alot more toweards really "needing" this because I do need more clothes for work - I only have about 4 outfits that i mix and match at the moment for a 5 day workweek
Well, the weather report is looking good for no rain so the chances of it suriving Bonnaroo are pretty high. I think you should get it - it looks like a perfect summer skirt
(and paired with long sleeves and tights underneath, it would also work in the winter)

well - don't forget I am in the South - just a long sleeve blouse and it is good for winter
