ladies, if any of you are clumsy or just not very lucky like I am, you may be planning on bringing more than 1 pair of sunglasses like me! It's always smart to have some extras in case you lose them, break them, whatever.
Last year I broke my favorites when I stepped on them in the tent!
Well wetseal has an awesome sale going on with their cute sunglasses.. 2 pairs for $10!

i just got my very prettyful made especially for me by clarity hoop ;D (not that i can hoop, but imma try)
thanks girl! i loves it ;D
also, i have been putting off buying a backpack, but i really needed one that was bigger than that stupid rainbow target bag (yes im retiring that bag!!!) so i got this one - its the perfect size and it comes with a little change purse the colors are more subdued in reality:
I'm still bringing my dresses, rain or shine! They are already packed, in the bag, and not moving!
Even when it rains here, it's still hot and muggy. And it rarely rains all day. When they call for showers, that usually means pop-up summer showers. They give the prediction for all areas since they never know where the shower will pop up

I'm doing the same. I made a point of choosing very lightweight, 100% woven cotton dresses (as in not a T-shirt cotton). They'll dry in no time, if it's the usual on and off rain I'm used to in the south. Even if it's all rain, all the time, they're light enough to not get super heavy if they get wet. Add a poncho and crocs or rainboots (I'm bringing both and will just make a decision based on how wet and muddy it seems to be) and I'll be good for hot, muggy and wet.
For cold, my night clothing will have to move to daytime. I have a pair of water-repellant track pants that will go into heavy rotation with hoodies and camisoles on top, along with the ubiquitous poncho.
this is kind of a silly question because i know there are a million on here, but searching on this thread is kind of a pain. Does anyone know where on here I can find a good list of everything to bring if youre a girl? I think I almost have evrything but feel like I'm missing some things.
Here are my girl-specific things (and some aren't necessarily girl items, but are ones that boys may deem unnecessary)
barrettes bobby pins hair elastics P-style wash cloth hand towel Tide to Go or Shout wipes shampoo/conditioner combo Febreeze spf 30 lip balm BodyGlide nail clippers face wash moisturizer
^^^^^ And add on "time of the month" products if you need 'em.
I also bring some over the counter version of urinary tract infection relief. Like Uristat: www.uristat.com/shorthed.htm Now this will NOT cure a UTI, but it will give you immediate relief from the pain, urgency and frequency issues. You will still need to get antibiotics to deal with the actual infection, but this will hold you over until you can do that. Turns your pee a lovely shade of orange and it will stain your undies, so be aware. But for anyone who is prone to infections, be sure you're drinking enough water and pack some of this stuff, just in case. It's miserable to have a UTI while camping. Seriously.

thanks.
oh, and all this talk of lists and planning outfits and whatnot makes me feel like such a bum, haha. last year i decided what I was gonna wear that day depending on what I pulled out of my bag, if I even decided to change out of what I slept in. oy. I'll look much cuter this year seeing as i've got a boy that i don't want to think i'm completely disgusting haha.
I'm the only girl in my group and it's almost hard to care what your going to wear while your there. Just something comfortable and won't be as hot! This year I did splurge and buy a new dress and skirt so hopefully i'll be a little bit more stylish.
^^^^ And maybe figure out a bungee cord or twine system for a clothes line. Not that things dry terribly well in cold, clammy weather (or in high humidity, generally), but at least maybe little things like socks could be dried out overnight or during the day.
I haven't packed, and I make lists and lose them. I guess I need to get my arse in gear this weekend as that I work Monday and Tuesday and we are leaving Wednesday AM!
I did buy two dresses and have a dress from last year. Will bring some loose pants, a couple tees, a pair of soft old cut off denim, a hoodie but really will dig through the bag and see what mood I am in.
I could see me wearing my purply-berry Target dress all four days because it's comfy and the color makes me happy, but I may actually lose - not gain friends at Roo if i do that... PU! ;D
My list of personal crap: Deodorant Disposable razor Bar of ivory soap (works for bod and for washing clothes) @ in 1 shampoo/conditioner (dcbee is bringing for us) Certain Dri (I used this stuff last year each night when I remembered and didn't get nasty) Gold Bond baby powder Sunscreen - at least two bottles lipbalm with SPF waterproof mascara (my one girly indulgence) gum (I like the fruity types - good for dry dust mouth, well water mouth, etc.) those face washing wipes from Dove or Olay Personal cleansing wipes (don't like the smell of baby wipes) TP Clorox wipes pStyle Claritin (the dust and grass really kicked my allergies into overdrive) vitamins Immodium AD Pepto Ziploc baggies for everything in Camelbak two quick-dry hair towels (I use as body towels at the trough/water station for daily cleansing) two washcloths or rags hand mirror two extra pairs of contacts contact case and solution Tide to Go pen or Shout Wipes ponytail elastics at least two bandannas sun hat bobby pins (have bangs that I know will be grody by Friday) two pairs sunglasses bathing suit tops or bras of cotton enough cotton underwear to be able to change twice a day two pair wicking bike shorts neosporin medical tape (used last year to wrap a band aid in place - otherwise it will sweat/rub/mud right off) band aids roll of paper towel (I got a blister and ended up wrapping a paper towel with tape around my foot - far better than a band aid)
And a tip - each night when i took off my Crocs I dusted them with Gold Bond so they were dry and lovely for me each AM! ;D
So I'm trying to pack my clothing, and I don't think I'm going to be able to fit everything in my large duffle. eek! I'm such an over-packer and paranoid that if it rains, I'll want to change clothes :/ I have so far: four dresses, a pair of pants, PJ pants, three t-shirts, four tank tops, lots of socks and underwear, four bathing suits, four bandanas, two long-sleeved shirts, and a hat.
No hoodie in the bag yet because the bag is full.... Help ladies, what can I get rid of to make room for the hoodie???

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies! Where have you been all my life? I have been lurking on this site for a month now, reading and learning. and all I can say is you are a great bunch of gals! I really wanted to wear cute skirts and dresses, but didn't know what would work, well thanks to all these posts I have a new Bonnaroo wardrobe! plus this new number.
welcome to the board happyhappyjoyjoy! Karma for you.
I think my plan now is to pack another (smaller) bag. I haven't packed shoes yet, so I figure I can put my shoes and a hoodie in the other bag. Just hoping my Bonnabuddy doesn't yell at me for taking up too much space with my overpacked bags

It's ok handgun, I don't have a target dress either....all of them looked god awful on me.... So no worries, you will not be the only inforoo lady without one....
But I will be wearing a dress to the brunch on friday...one I made!
Hello! first post & first ‘roo. I’ve been lurking around for a while and just wanted to mention that I feel your pain in deciding what to pack. My friend and I are taking a month long road trip from upstate NY. Bonnaroo is our 1st stop then were driving up the east coast to visit some friends that have moved away since high school. So we have to plan for a whole month without being near home!
