Fancy Dress :)

Fancy dress at Uni is always the best, as from personal experience it takes half the time to get ready as you're not as bothered about looking nice and you can literally wear anything you want. Yet again this is where Primark comes in handy as well as the fabric shop 'Azkaban fabrics' in Hanley and the market in the Potteries.

I find it always more fun to make your outfits using fabrics and random bits of material!

Since the beginning of Uni- a year and 5 months ago (crazy) I have collected soo much fancy dress stuff; material, props, fabric pens, which I have put into a little box :) some of it I honestly don't know where its come from but the rest I have mostly bought from Primark, Azkaban fabrics and some bits from the little fancy dress shop on the way to Hanley (will remember the name of it soon).


This top doesn't mean anything dodgy, it was for a BJ night out (Broadcast Journalists!) We bought black strap tops from Primark and blue felt from the market in Stoke (by Sainsburys) and sewed the letters on. Didn't take us long.

Last night was fancy dress for my friend Hannah's 20th Birthday :) the theme was ravers! So basically loads of random bright colours. Everytime i'm in Hanley or shopping and I see bits for cheap that I could wear for fancy dress I always buy them as you never know when you might need them. This came in handy for last night as I literally had no idea what to wear up until an hour before we all went out. I rummaged through my room collecting every single bright item I could find, most which I have worn in previous fancy dress nights. And I ended up wearing:

A pink tutu (Claires accessories-quite expensive but cute, pink and can wear often)
Glow bands
Bright yellow beads
Bright Yellow gloves (I have no idea where these came from)
A bright pink strap top (Bought in a topshop sale, good for summer time or winter under another top)
Footless tights (Have numerous amounts in different colours from Primark)
Fishnets (Primark)
Legwarmers (Yet again primark)
White shoes with bright yellow stripes (New Look- love New look shoes!)

And to finish the outfit off, a bright pink handbag which i actually bought from Oasis but it was down from £30 to £10.. bargain!
