Concert-Going Essentials for The Modern Girl: Be an #Underwarrior + Be Prepared!

I don't say no to a good time, I especially don't say no when that good time involves live music, sunshine, and my friends. With so many good bands and performers coming in town soon, it's been hard to choose which events I want to attend but I think I've finally narrowed it down, while I have a couple concerts on the books over the next few months! I'm pretty excited to be heading to a BBQ & Bluesfest in a few short weeks so obvs I'm already planning what I'll be wearing and what I'll be bringing with me.

Today I'm sharing my idea of the perfect outfit for a BBQ & Bluesfest and a few other helpful tips to ensure you have a terrific time while getting your groove on to the music.

Let's start with the outfit details! I'm super excited to share that this outfit cost me a grand total of $10 with the accessories included, but not the shoes. The shorts and the earrings were purchased earlier this year at everyone's favorite rollback store for a grand total of $8 and my cobalt blue tank top is a Forever21 $2 find from Black Friday! While this outfit didn't cost much, it looks like it did and it feels so comfortable!

While my outfit matters, what I bring with me definitely counts for something as well. I'm a bit of a worrier, in case you can't tell by me planning an outfit weeks ahead of time. I like to make sure I have all my bases covered so I'm always sure to bring back up plan a, b, and sometimes I even bring a back up plan c.

These are just a few ways I make sure I'm always prepared for anything when I'm at a concert with my chicas:

1. Lady Products: While you can plan ahead and know approximately when she's coming, you can't plan AF for your friends! Be sure to have some U by Kotex® Ultra Thin Pads with 3D Capture Core* plus Xpress DRI* in your bag in case you or one of your gal pals happens to have Aunt Flo visit while you are at the concert.

2. Sunscreen - If you are going to an outdoor venue, this is a must! I suggest getting a brand with a pleasant scent, especially if your concert is going to be attended with a guy you have your eyes on!

3. Sunglasses - Speaking of your eyes, you will want to protect them and still be able to see the performance. Grab a stellar pair of sunglasses so you can rock the concert in style!

4. Notepad + Sharpie - Are you a fan-girl of the band you are going to see? Be sure to bring a notepad and a sharpie with you so you can get autographs from all your favorite performers.

Now that I've shared some of my concert-going essentials, I'd love to know what your must-have items are when you plan on rocking out? I'd also love to know who your favorite performer is this season? Leave me a comment cluing me in on your necessities and your favorite rocker below!
