GET READY FOR THE FESTIVAL

Going to the festival is both fun, wonderful and exciting and it is also an excellent opportunity to be outdoors and get some sun and fresh air. It feels good to be outdoors for several days in a row and you become more in touch with nature and its forces, even with such natural phenomena as rain, wind, hail and thunderstorms. Consequently, with this finding one can also conclude that it is quite difficult to dress for festivals. Are there any tricks when it comes to dressing right for the weather and still maintaining the style?

Many may associate festival costumes with colorful and crazy garments such as cardigans, hats and fluffy pants that appear to come straight from the seventies. Part of the festival life is just being able to let go and being a little crazy - not least when it comes to clothes. But festival attire can often be of inferior quality that hardly heats up during chilly summer nights or can cope in long concerts. We recommend that you buy real basic garments, which you can then supplement with fun party garments once you are in place.

START WITH A PAIR OF STURDY JEANS

No matter how tempting it is to skip to bring a pair of sturdy jeans into the pack, it is hardly regrettable when the rain is pouring down and all your other clothes are wet. With a pair of jeans and a few other pants in your backpack, you are ready for bad weather several days in a row. A pair of thinner trousers that one can wear under the jeans are good for cold waking nights or to be used as a pair of extra trousers to sleep in. They can also be worn under a skirt or shorts.

THINK LAYER-BY-LAYER

When you are at a festival, you have to be ready for all kinds of weather. Although the weather reports can give a clue as to how the weather should be. But if you bring clothes that can be combined and worn with each other, you are protected from unpleasant surprises. The classic layer-by-layer method means that you wear several thin and compliant garments instead of one large and shabby one. For example, you can wear a thin underwear closest to the body, a warming layer on top of it, and finally a thin layer on the outside that protects against rain and wind.

HERE'S HOW YOU CAN DRESS

These garments can be worn all together or in other combinations.

  • Long sleeve shirt and a pair of leggings closest to the body.
  • Shorts or skirt for sunny days.
  • A thin knit sweater in cotton and a pair of jeans.
  • A thicker wool sweater for really cold nights.
  • Wind and rain jacket or anorak to put on in the evening.
  • A simple rain poncho for really rainy days.
  • A cap in case the summer weather comes.
  • A thin shawl that can be used as both sun protection and warming garments and blankets.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
