According to MTV, the average person attending Coachella festival in California is set to spend approximately $361 per day, topping both Tomorrowland and Glastonbury! MTV states that No. 1 Currency, a travel money specialist, worked the cost out to only include admission, alcohol and meals per day. If you ask me, I’m sure the average person would actually spend a lot more…….. On that “festival-perfect” outfit. Celebrities with the likes of Alexa Chung have been known to spend $5000 on outfits for the event, but I think many people would spend approx. an extra $300 to get the boho look that characterises the desert wanderers of Coachella. Don’t get me wrong, I love looking at all the festival outfits people post on social media, but I do truly think if Instagram etc were no more, people would care far less about what they wear and concentrate a lot more on having fun rather than snapping Insta-worthy photos.

Side thought: I always wonder if who are famed on social media must feel the pressures to live up to expectations that they spend all their time crafting perfect images? It is easy to create the perfect version of yourself if given enough time. Likes and followers can become dangerously important to people when it dictates their self worth. I know far too many average people, girls in particular, who strive to feed their ego through likes, and will delete photos if they do not get enough. These girls are not even teenagers, stereotypically insecure, but in their 20’s and whom I would otherwise describe as confident and self-loving. I think social media is great fun, but actually quite sad when it gets to this point of control in one’s life.
