FASHION ON A STUDENT BUDGET

Ok so how do we try to stay stylish and keep on top of all the never ending trends that a hitting the cat walks on students budget....? Well we make the most of what we've got!!! Here in Loughborough,(east midlands) where I'm currently studying there isn't much to offer in the way of cultivating fashion stores or window displays however there is one tiny Topshop, one Primark, new look, next, Dorthy perkins and an average size tkmaxx and lots of other random little shops plus the very new and hip CHARITY SHOP shopping that do not exactly scream high fashion, but what they do is provide us with a basic starting point for everything else there's not master card but in fact Ebay and that massive world of online shopping but I'm a girl who like to be able to feel her cloth before she buys it !!. Ive become a lover of high street collaborations with charity shop and vintage finds... It works for us students. Here I've put together a mix of highstreet fashion pieces with some charity/vintage finds (we all love a bargain).
