Tiwi's Closet: BushFire Style Ideas

If you live in Swaziland you will  know that Bushfire is coming up.  I myself have never attended one but I plan to this year. Bushfire has been ranked as one of the biggest festivals in the world by CNN.  From what I have researched  Bushfire is about great music, food and self-expression.
This post will hopefully give you a few festival ootd ideas for the coming bushfire. The great thing is you can buy these pieces from Tiwi’s Closet.  This post will also give Miss Tiwi’s Guide to festival fashion.

What do you wear to a festival?
Festival for me are a chance to play around with fashion.  They give you a space to be open and creative.  A question I always get from friends and people in general is ‘ What do I wear to Bushfire?’ . It is hot during the day and cools down at night.

Dresses
Festivals are about embracing your inner flower child. Channel the 70s with a boho chic maxi dress. Or just be a fairy for a day in a floaty dress. It is your time to get creative and colourful so go for it. Here are a few Tiwi’s closet suggestions:

Vintage Shirts

A vintage blouse can work as the focal point of your outfit. You can pair it with jeans, a skirt, shorts just about anything as long as you are creative. Wear it is outwear with layered over another shirt. It is a versatile piece to have.  For a festival going bold with your vintage shirt is a must.  Let your shirt speak.

Light outerwear
Dusters / Kimonos and general light outerwear are the perfect day to night piece. If you don’t want to carry heavy  outerwear then this is perfect. You can style light outwear with just about anything.  Here are some Tiwi’s Closet options: 



Denim
From skirts, to shorts , to dresses. Denim is what I call a festival classic. For a more interesting denim outfit go for a skirt, dress or outwear. Denim shorts scream festival. If you can pull it off go for it.  Tiwi’s Closet has a few denim pieces you may be interested in. We also have a selection of shorts which are not photographed.


Print
Get creative with print. It's a festival be bold and bring out your inner 70s icon.



To get any of these products. Visit us at the Vintage Fair on Saturday the 30th of April from 10am to 6pm. We will be at the Checkers Business Park in Mbabane.

SS14: Festival Chica


Hello lovelies.

 Today I will be sharing the last of the looks I have for you.( I will be doing some more soon for you). I call this outfit festival chica because it is something I would wear to a festival. It's festival friendly with the comfortable wedges but it remains fashionable and flatters my body. I'm almost always overdressed but That's just me being me.

How to Achieve this look

Festivals are all about the boho trend. It is a time when you can re-live the 60s and the 70s to your little hearts content. Accessories are the key to creating this look. The amber pendant, tinted sunglasses, the Zulu bangles and the belt all help me create the boho look.  If I wanted to take this outfit to the next level I would add a brown fringed bag and some ankle boots or trainers of my choice. I add my personality to the look with my shoes and the vintage bag. Always add your personality to any trend you try out.

 So if you want to re create this look accessories with ethnic accessories, some small rounded glasses a slouchy bag and foot wear of your choice. As you can see I still add my own personality to the boho trend with my shoes and the vintage bag.











Happy mid week everybody.  What is your festival look and do you have any helpful tips?
