New Term, New Wardrobe? Sounds like a good enough excuse!

As my shifts at the greasy chippy come to an end i decided those six, long, hard weeks of work meant i deserved a treat! And as it's coming up for the beginning of my second year at university, it seems mad not to indulge in a spot of shopping in others places than Primark. Oh! And by the way, if you are an avid follower of this blog you'll know i bought some shorts from there a couple of weeks ago, well i have just about seen everyone wearing them! I think i have proven my point about Primark now!
Anyway, especially doing a fashion course, there’s an underlined pressure to look good at lectures and seminars, even if they are at nine in the morning after a night out drinking and on 3 hours sleep. I blame those girls that wake up over two hours before the seminar and start getting ready, I’m lucky to get out of bed 20 minutes before I have to leave! Which lead to me to a brainwave – a new wardrobe is needed!
One thing I love about my course and university is that I can experiment with my clothes, and kind of get away with it! So I invested in some leather leggings. To be honest, I’ve always thought of them to be quite trashy, like mutton dressed as lamb but when you’re 19 you can’t get mistaken for mutton can you? Unexpectedly I have become quite attached to them! I wore them out with a nice bias cut shirt and they gave the outfit a nice twist. I’m looking forward to wearing them with baggy jumpers come winter time.

Another investment which my sister and I both purchased was the maxi skirt. I have been longing for one ever since Nicole Ritchie busted them out but just wasn’t brave enough. But like I said, university is the place you can get away with stepping outside the box; to be honest there will always be someone dressed weirder and worse than you! But I actually love it. I wore it when I went to dinner with my gal pals and they all seemed to like it, brutal honesty is some of their key features.
Now all I am looking for is a pair of leather shorts (over doing the leather I know but I will find the perfect pair!) and a textbook winter coat. Let’s face it; we could all do with our winter coats now!
