The Wild Hearted Way to Style For Your Vibe:

The Investment Piece: Splurge on that one jaw-dropping item that’ll have everyone asking “where’d you get that?”—think perfectly worn-in cowboy boots or a butter-soft fringe jacket. Fill in the rest with wallet-friendly finds that let your statement piece shine.

The Smart Mix: Balance is everything. Pair that fire vintage western shirt from a boutique with affordable denim shorts. You’ll look expensive without the price tag to match.

The DIYQueen: Transform an oversized thrifted flannel into a tied crop moment or add DIY fringe to a basic jacket. Your creativity = your superpower.

Festival Fit Check:

  • Comfort is non-negotiable: If you can’t dance all day in it, leave it at home. Period.
  • Reality test: Break in those boots and wear that hat for hours before the festival—festival days are marathons, not sprints.
  • Accessorize strategically: Even on a tight budget, the right vintage belt, bandana, or statement jewelry can level up the most basic outfit.

An iconic festival look isn’t about emptying your bank account—it’s about rocking whatever you’re wearing with unshakeable confidence. Tag @WildHearted in your thrifted festival fits and show us how you’re slaying on a budget!

Stay Wild, Stay Thrifty, Stay Country.
