GOING TO CRUSH? HERE'S SOME OUTFIT INSPO
Hey guys! Are any of you planning on going to Crush this year? If you are, I wanted to throw together some outfit ideas for you. Dressing for raves is always kind of a challenge, but dressing for a valentines day themed event creates some of its own challenges. So first things first, if you don’t know about what Crush is, its a one-day events put on by insomniac in a few cities across the country. This year there are having events in SoCal (the one I will be attending), San Francisco, Denver, Pheonix, and Dallas. The Pheonix event is actually taking place throughout two days as it is the tenth anniversary of the event, so if you want a longer event, I would check that one out. The tickets are sold in two’s, but don’t let that discourage you if you are single AF like me. My friend and I are going as a ‘couple,’ and I know a few other single people who are doing the same thing, so don’t worry about that. The ticket prices are really reasonable, and the lineup is also pretty decent and have an interesting range.
I am super into dressing for themes events because I just like to feel like a part of the event aesthetic and like I am contributing to it in my own small way. It is also a super fun way to get a group of people involved if you plan matching squad costumes, or even couples costumes. Thankfully with valentines day just around the corner, there are a ton of pink and red items on offer, including specifically valentines day themed gear.
FOR THE HEAVENLY BABES
This first outfit is for the heavenly babes who feel more at home in baby blues than bright pinks. A mix of sheer and solids to give you some coverage without feeling like you are wandering around but naked.
CELESTIAL SASS BELL BOTTOMS $48.00
I love these pants. The sheer fabric is super sexy, but the coverage also keeps them from feeling too out there.

CLOUDED THOTS BACKROADS BRA $28.00
This top is perfect for those of us who are going to a CRUSH event in warmer climates. I love the blue and white colors, and it is a good alternative too pasties for those of us who like to at least feel like we have a little bit more security.

CUPID'S ARROW DROP EARRINGS $10.00
I am a big fan of these earrings. While I don’t typically rave in earrings, I think there is something to be said for a dope pair of earrings every once in a while. I love these because they are on theme but still subtle enough that you can still get a ton of wear out of them.

HEART ON SUBZERO SUNNIES $50.00
Yeah, these sunglasses probably aren’t super necessary for events that take place at night but come on. They are pretty amazing and a perfect way to top off an ethereal outfit.

FOR THE MATCH MAKER
This is the look for a babe who likes to be pretty in pink. She loves to look like a literal angel fallen from the clouds, but maybe with a little leather mixed into all of the lace.
BLISS VISION SHEER BODYSUIT $30.00
This bodysuit is probably the most perfect item for CRUSH that you could find on the internet. I love the bell sleeves and the pink cloud print. Those things combined with the sexy sheer fabric makes for a sweet, but a little cheeky CRUSH outfit.

ANGEL ON EARTH GLITTER HEELS $80.00
These shoes are something else. I am always a fan of platforms (see my multiple posts about them for more lol), and these are no exception. I love the little angel wings because they add some extra flair without being too much.

LOVER'S CHOKE HOLD CUPID CHOKER $20.00
What goes better with pink then a little gold. What a perfect way to add an extra angelic touch to your look for the night.

PIXIE DOWN TO PLAY LEG HARNESS $20.00
We love a good harness. I have found that they are the perfect way to take your outfit to the next level. It is the perfect way to add a little bit of a badass touch to a sweeter outfit.

FOR THE DOMINATRIX
She doesn’t want any of that baby pink BS, she would rather be decked out in black leather and chains, thanks.
ABOVE THE LIMIT CHAIN SET $68.00
I have this set, and it is honestly one of my favorite harnesses. It is one size fits most but still looks amazing on curvier bodies which you don’t always get from ‘one size’ items. I also like that you are getting two pieces that you can mix and match for other outfits.

VIVID LOVER HEART EARRINGS $10.00
When you’re decked out in black, why not add a pop of color? These earrings are so cute and something you can definitely incorporate into everyday outfits as well. I love a good dangling earring because they elongate your face and make your neck look longer, which is always a plus.

BEST YOU EVER HAD NIGHT GOWN $25.00
I am a big fan of robes, especially when they look like this one. If you are planning to go with a little bit more of a revealing look then sometimes it can be nice to give yourself the illusion of more coverage with a long robe, especially if your event is taking place outside and it might get a little chilly at night. I love the drama of these leaves, and the deep V neck is everything.

QUIET RIOT BARBED WIRE EARRINGS $12.00
You have to accessorize baby. These barbed wire earrings are another option to add some extra drama to this black outfit. I love the barbed details and (I know I keep saying it, but) that they are something you can easily transition into everyday wear.

FOR THE BESTIES
Sometimes you and your best girls want to be squad goals. Why not give this look a try when you and your bestie role up at the CRUSH event near you.
MISSING ANGEL TANK TOP $22.00
I love a good tank top, and this one is a favorite because not only is it super cute and comfy, but it has little angel wings on the back. It is that perfect Y2K nineties look for those of you who want to be pretty in pink, but don’t want to be too out there.

HEART'S DESIRE MINI SKIRT $35.00
The heart buckles on this skirt are such a unique touch. I love to have a pink skirt, and this one is a perfect mix of badass and super cute. I am always a champion of having options to your rave wardrobe that can be easily worn for other nights out as well and I think this is a good option for those of you who may want to play it a little bit more safe.

LOVA LOVA HEART EARRINGS $8.00
I love a good pair of pink earrings, and these acrylic ones are super cool and sturdy and also a color that is going to look good on anyone, which is always a plus. As if they weren’t cute enough, that price point means you and your squad can all get a pair without breaking the bank.

SHAGADELIC HEELS $85.00
I couldn’t resist adding these shoes to the list because I love a good pair of pink shoes, especially when they are decked out in pink faux fur, because honestly everything is made better with pink fur. I also love the hologram pink and the ankle straps because they somehow never fail to make your legs look longer and sexier, which is always a plus.
