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.

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.

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.

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!

New Look shoes
I absolutely love shoes from New Look.
If I ever need some new heels/boots/dolly shoes.. anything, i always head to New Look. They offer attractive shoes at decent prices and good quality.. I have noticed that my shoes from New Look always last a long time.
I own several pairs of shoes from New Look. These two heels being my favourite!
Also 'fugg boots' (fake ugg boots) are pretty decent quality in New Look, I bought a brown pair myself which only cost £12. All my other fuggs I have bought from Peacocks and Primark and
they all got holes in during the first few weeks.. this is either due to the way i walk OR the poor quality!
So get yourself down to New Look.. and remember to use your student discount :)

Customising
I don't know about you but I hate wearing the same outfit twice on a night out. If I wear a dress on a Monday night I can't wear that dress again until at least a couple of months time.
I really try and avoid it as I always think people might realise (not that their going to be bothered and not that they do even realise !) I also always think about the dreaded photos after a night out.. I don't want to be wearing the same sort of outfit in all of my photos.
This is wear the uni must have word comes in.. Customising.
I find that even if you wear the same skirt but put it with a belt, different shoes
and different accessories, you will automatically feel like you have a new outfit :)
When I wasn't a student and had money I liked to buy a new outfit anytime there was a big night out ahead. Although now I just buy a few cheap accessories and the outfit looks and feels new.
