Fashionable Choices for an Exciting Weekend in Austin

Hey there, Austin! Are you ready for another electrifying weekend filled with music, sports, and fun? With ACL Weekend 2 and the highly anticipated Red River Rivalry game both taking place, it’s that time of year when excitement fills the air and the streets buzz with energy. However, as many of us know, with all the plans lining up, the age-old question surfaces: “What am I going to wear?”

Outfit Inspiration from Blushing Bell Boutique

Worry no more! We chatted with Kristi Carney, the fabulous owner of Blushing Bell Boutique, who has some fantastic outfit ideas that will have you looking fabulous while you enjoy the festivities. Let’s dive into her suggestions that are perfect for both ACL and the showdown between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners!

Look Fabulous at ACL

As many know, ACL is all about music and outdoor fun, so your outfit should match that vibe! Kristi suggests opting for a stylish yet comfortable look. A great choice could be a cute, flowy sundress paired with a light denim jacket—perfect for when the sun goes down. Floral prints are in full swing this season, bringing all the vibes of summer into fall. Add a pair of comfy ankle boots or stylish sneakers to keep your feet happy while walking around.

Don’t forget your accessories! A fun crossbody bag can keep your hands free for phone photos and snacks, while a wide-brimmed hat adds a stylish touch while keeping the sun at bay. With these outfit pieces, you’ll not only look great, but you’ll also be ready to enjoy all the music with comfort.

Game Day Glam for the Red River Rivalry

Now, let’s talk about what to wear for the Red River Rivalry. Whether you’re cheering for the Longhorns or the Sooners, you definitely want to show your spirit. Kristi recommends a vibrant graphic tee featuring your team’s colors, paired with high-waisted denim shorts or a cute skirt—perfect for when you’re tailgating or watching the game live!

A finishing touch can be a light flannel shirt tied around your waist. It adds a casual vibe, and it’s always good to have something to wrap around you when the temperatures dip. Don’t forget to show off your team spirit with matching accessories, like a colorful cap or beaded bracelets to complete the sporty look.

Comfort Meets Style

Regardless of your plans this weekend, Kristi emphasizes the importance of balancing style with comfort. “You want to look good, but you also want to enjoy the festivities without worrying about your outfit,” she says. So, if you know you’ll be dancing to your favorite band at ACL or cheering for your team during the game, choosing breathable and flexible materials will make all the difference.
