Simplicity

As we're students with a severe lack of money why don't you just stick to keeping it simple.
If you want a new outfit, you could easily keep to cheap plain clothing; for example, a long top and team it up with some nice shoes and one accessory.
Remember.. Sometimes less is more!

Fashion Exchange

This afternoon the uni held a fashion exchange party where you brought your old clothes/shoes etc to the event and got to swap.

Exchanging clothes is obviously a good idea, as you can get rid of all your clothes you don't want and get new ones back in return so you're re-inventing your wardrobe without spending any money- great in this economic climate. But to my dissapointment it wasn't as good as it could have been.

There was just one rail as not enough people had got involved.

I took an old corset top which is to small for me and my friend Hannah took some blue legwarmers as she already had the same pair at home.

But everything we looked at wasn't nice and if it was.. it was way to big. There were no 8-10 sizes there so we were pretty screwed.

In the end, after 5 minutes, I took my old corset home.. never know when I might need it again and Hannah tried to find her legwarmers to take home seeing as they're new and cost £5. But someone had already taken them so basically I ended up leaving with the top I brought and hannah left with nothing (and technically lost a fiver.)

If more people got involved then i'm sure the exchange would have been a lot better!
