I'm a fashion and lifestyle influencer from Guatemala who spent six months planning out my Coachella looks.
This year, I attended Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival for the second time.
Christian Grotewold
I spent over $3,500 on the three looks I put together for the festival, with about $1,465 of that total on new pieces.
My outfits were pretty simple, but each one had at least one statement piece.

A few days before the festival, I paid about $104 to bleach my hair.
I went platinum blond ahead of my trip to the Coachella Valley.

The star of my first outfit was a Kult bodysuit with flames on the front and sleeves. I paid about $79 for it.
The Kult bodysuit I wore is open on the sides and in the back.
Christian Grotewold
I paired the bodysuit with black, faux-leather pants from Zara that I got for about $40.
The pants have deep pockets, which I used to store things during the festival.

I accessorized with a Diesel belt I purchased for $104.
The belt buckle has the Diesel logo on it.

On my right hand, I wore a Gucci ring I got for about $370.
The lion ring went well with pretty much all of my outfits.
Christian Grotewold
I paired the lion head with other rings I've collected for about $100 over the years.
I already owned a lot of the pieces ahead of the festival.
Christian Grotewold
My Cacao PiΓ±a cowboy boots tied the day-one look together, and I got them for about $190.
Cacao PiΓ±a is a brand that started in Colombia, and the cowboy boots were handmade.

I carried my belongings in a gold Diesel bag that I bought for $412.
The metallic bag matched my belt.

These pieces came together to create a sleek look for my first day at the festival.
My look on the first day was centered around the Kult bodysuit.
Christian Grotewold
On the second day at the festival, I wore another Kult bodysuit I bought for about $79.
This Kult bodysuit was a statement piece, and I built the rest of my outfit around it.
Christian Grotewold
I complemented it with a pair of yellow, faux-leather pants I got from Bershka for about $25.
The faux-leather pants matched the yellow details in the bodysuit.
Christian Grotewold
I already had Air Jordans White Pollen, which I bought for about $75, in my closet and wore them on the second day of the festival.
I didn't buy these Air Jordans for Coachella, but they came in handy on day two.
Christian Grotewold
I also sported Oakley Sutro sunglasses that I got for about $173.
The sunglasses played up the bodysuit's racing design.
Christian Grotewold
I also wore a cute bag I got from a local store in Guatemala for about $40.
The small, shiny purse matched my top.

The day-two outfit β which was full of yellows, reds, and oranges β came together well.
My outfit on day two was full of color.
Christian Grotewold
I went for a more exposed look on my final day, and the FBMT pants I found for about $197 stole the show.
The FBMT pants have flames on the waistband.
Christian Grotewold
I paired the pants with a sparkly tank top, which I got for about $177 from a Guatemalan brand called Cuhba.
I wore the tank top on my third day at the festival.
Christian Grotewold
I also rocked a pair of Air Jordans Carbon Fiber that I'd previously purchased for about $125.
My Air Jordans Carbon Fiber were the perfect shoes to wear to Coachella.
Christian Grotewold
My day-three purse was a white Diesel bag I got for $465.
I liked having a purse on me to carry around essential items during the festival.
Christian Grotewold
Keeping with the black-and-white color scheme, I wore these Givenchy sunglasses that I previously bought for about $600.
The Givenchy sunglasses were already part of my wardrobe before Coachella.
Christian Grotewold
To accessorize, I wore my rings and a Louis Vuitton V necklace I got a while ago for about $380.
I wore the same rings I had on earlier in the trip.
Christian Grotewold
The day-three outfit was daring, and I left the festival thrilled with how all my looks turned out.
The top, pants, and sunglasses made for a dramatic final look.
