Sustainable Style Guide to Lightning in a Bottle

I am so excited about attending Lightning in a Bottle for the second time May 22 – May 27, 2024! This festival isn’t just an event; it’s an immersive experience that promises to inspire my creativity, expand my consciousness, and connect me with like-minded souls in a vibrant tapestry of music, art, and community.

I want for you to step foot onto its enchanted grounds in style! I am passionate about shopping sustainably – I want to help you contribute to a more ethical, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible festival fashion!

You can thrift trendy Lightning in a Bottle looks!

Embrace the excitement of the hunt and have fun exploring the diverse array of treasures waiting to be discovered! I met my best friend Molly thrifting when she complimented my outfit and we went to LIB together a few days later!

DIY Your Own Festival style!

Making DIY festival clothes involves creating unique and personalized clothes or accessories! DIY festival clothes allow individuals to express their creativity, showcase their personal style, and stand out from the crowd!

Do a clothing swap with your friends!

Doing a clothing swap with friends for festival clothes is an eco-friendly way to experiment with new styles and express creativity while reducing environmental impact. Have it at your house or have a swap picnic!

Upcycle your unwanted clothes or clothes that no longer fit!

DIY by modifying clothes on your own, using your skills, creativity, and available resources instead of purchasing pre-made new clothes. I don’t have sewing skills yet and I have been able to create some pretty special pieces.

Buy cool vintage footwear!

Buying vintage shoes offers unique style, quality materials, and environmental sustainability. They have a timeless appeal, are cost-effective, and I love finding cool 90’s shoes!

Find beautiful vintage jewelry at Estate Sales!

Estate sales can take place on-site at the person’s former residence or at a designated venue. Estate sales offer an opportunity for buyers to find unique items at discounted prices, while also helping to clear out the estate’s belongings efficiently. It’s fun to make friends with fellow shoppers!

To find estate sales, check TikTok with the name of the town you are looking – or google “Los Angeles Estate Sales this weekend”

Look for Whimsical Toys, Art Supplies and Accessories to Bring to LIB!

I thrifted these little animal puppets for 99 cents! I’ve used them to be silly and play with new friends!!

Check out Biodegradable glitter for a little sparkle!

Switching to biodegradable glitter reduces environmental impact, as it is made of plants – it breaks down more easily than traditional plastic glitter, minimizing microplastic pollution. It’s non-toxic and safer for your skin.

Look out for potential in dated items!

I saw this silk dress and imagined cutting off the flowers, I did it and saved them to add to a festival headband!

I’m looking forward to wearing my special outfits to Lightning in a Bottle! I can’t wait to see Labrinth, Queen Herby, and Bob Moses with my friends!! You can check out the rest of the lineup here!
