OOTD - 11.09.11

 An autumnal outfit today, it's so good to be back wearing colour after a week in black and white for Sixth Form!

Top - New Look
Shorts - H&M
Tights - Primark (Only £2!)
Necklace - H&M 

How's everyone's week been? Has anybody else just started Sixth Form?

I think that's everything! Phew! A big thank you to my mum for facilitating this haul with the money she gave me for my GCSE results (which, incidentally, were 7A*s, 6As and a B ;)).

I start Sixth Form on Monday, scary stuff! I've been planning some potential outfits, so I'm certain they'll pop up on here at some point.

Expect a review of the ELF bits very soon too - having never ordered from them before I must say that I'm a very happy customer!

OOTD - 12.08.11

The weather was weird today, it wasn't sure whether it wanted to be hot or cold, plus it was windy - so I figured a summer dress with a jumper was the best idea!

Jumper - New Look

Dress underneath - Primark (as seen here, doesn't come up small anymore - I've lost about 10lbs since then!)

Tights - New Look

Pashmina - eBay

I thought it was a pretty cute outfit!

Topshop vs. New Look!

 Based on my previous post about A/W back to college fashion, I decided to see if it was possible to recreate the Topshop look from other retailers for a more 'Student' budget.
Here's how I got on:

All items from New Look except scarf and snake cuff.

I made a saving of £83.55 just by shopping around! I think the looks are very similar. What do you think? :)

Do you shop around for the best prices when buying outfits? Or do you stay loyal to a brand and buy everything from there?
