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. Christian Grotewold 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. Christian Grotewold 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. Christian Grotewold I accessorized with a Diesel belt I purchased for $104. The belt buckle has the Diesel logo on it. Christian Grotewold 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. Christian Grotewold I carried my belongings in a gold Diesel bag that I bought for $412. The metallic bag matched my belt. Christian Grotewold 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. Christian Grotewold 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. Christian Grotewold
