Outfit + Occasion: SXSW
It’s not Bonnaroo and it’s not Coachella, but for those of you lucky enough to be heading to SXSW, you’ll still need to put together some killer outfits. To help, I scoured articles like this one from the New York Times and this one from Refinery29 and compiled everything you may need to help decide what to wear, and pack, for the occasion.
1. Old Navy sweater / 2. MM Couture dress / 3. Ray-Ban aviators
4. Old Navy sweater / 5. Current/Elliott jeans / 6. Parker dress
7. Current/Elliott shorts / 8. Steve Madden boots / 9. Hive & Honey skirt
10. DV by Dolce Vita boots / 11. Pour La Victoire bag / 12. Dolce Vita sandals
13. ASOS cross-body bag / images
PACKING LIST: light layers, open knit sweater, high-waisted shorts, vintage accessories, floral prints, tights (for under shorts), sheer shirts, denim (consider pairing with more denim/chambray), cross-body bags, cowboy boots or western booties, maxi dresses and skirts, colored jeans (extra points for pastels), day-to-night dress, hat, comfortable flats, Ikat and Navajo prints, vintage tees and basic tanks, Converse shoes, light jacket and sunglasses. And room to bring back shopping finds!
Did I miss anything? Have any tips? Room in your suitcase to take me with you?

I think these are some great picks! The only other thing I would add is a substantial jacket just in case! A couple of years ago a cold front came in randomly the last 2-3 days of the music weekend. I think it caught everyone by surprise! I think we’re just expecting a little rain this year, though.
great picks! really love the sweater and jean shorts look. another fun festival is governors ball in nyc. maybe a little easier to travel to than austin :)

I just purchased that MM Couture dress, what a coincidence you posted it!
[...] A: I started So Much to Smile About in August of 2010. I’d been following a lot of blogs but didn’t see one that captured everything I was looking for. I actually kept a binder for photos I’d print or tear out from blogs and magazines for inspiration, but it was getting hard to keep organized, so I thought I might as well start a blog myself where I could put everything in one place and share the things that were making me smile. It quickly became this amazing creative outlet for me; and now, I can’t imagine life without it! It’s definitely evolved as I’ve continued blogging—today, it’s still a place for me to catalog and share what’s inspiring me, but I also love sharing my favorite fashion and design trends, style inspiration and shopping picks!

I have the #4 old navy sweater you featured and I love it. Definitely a great buy.
