It is that time again when I join Monica of Jersey Girl, Texan Heart for our monthly collaboration, Your Own Twist. Our goal is to inspire you to think outside the box when it comes to personal style. Each month we choose either one common wardrobe piece or a creative theme and style it our own way with our own twist. We invite you to do the same!

Monica and I have both taken a lot of fashion inspiration from one another over the past few years even though we have totally different styles. It is always fun to see how we can interpret similar items or themes in our own unique ways. We post themes well in advance if you want would like to use the theme for your own post and add it to the link party. However, any fashion posts are welcome regardless of whether you followed our theme or not.

All that being said, we had chosen our themes months ago and I was more than relieved that we had settled on Festival Style for this month. We initially chose this theme for August because it seems to be the month that hosts so many different types of summer festivals. I assumed by this point in the summer, I would have already attended a few different music festivals and would have had plenty of outfit photographs from the real deal to share this month. But of course, none of that happened.

Even so, my stay at home summer wardrobe has been very reminiscent of my personal summer festival style so it was a simple theme for me that did not require too much planning. Thankfully. Because I hadn’t planned a thing and I haven’t photographed a single outfit in exactly one month (July 20 was the last day that I actually photographed myself). But I had taken photos of this outfit earlier in the summer and it was perfectly suited for any type of festival style theme.

So there you have it. My festival style for this festival-less summer. A long boho dress, the necessary kimono, crocheted sandals, handmade leather earrings, and my favorite mushroom necklace…because, well, music festivals, you know.

May we enjoy all the public gatherings, celebrations, and festivals next summer with a newfound appreciation and gratitude for so many things.

What are you looking forward to next summer?

And I have to feature Kim of Fierce Fashion once again. She refashioned a men’s Hawaiian shirt into the cutest puff sleeve, mixed pattern top that fit the Christmas in July theme in the most wonderful way!
