What better way to start out my new blog then with the beginning of a new season.
WINTER is here people, and I’ve decided to take it upon myself to pass down my knowledge of bargains and style to show you the most affordable, chic winter styles this season on a student budget.
For starters, leggings. Leggings are always in style and the great thing about them right now is that there are so many different types you can wear other than the regular black legging.
The pleather legging:
I am obsessed with with this style of legging right now. You can wear them casually with flats/biker boots or dress them up with a pair of heels for a night out.
Tips: Worn best with a heel that shows the top of your foot or it can look too busy.
Try to wear these with longer blouses or knits that cover your backside as these pants tend to show a prominent panty-line.
Found at: These are pretty much everywhere but can be found at cotton on for just $10.
The crushed velvet legging.
These are a more casual legging that I love because you can wear them in colour (maroon, purple, teal) and get away with it! They’re very warm so they’re great for winter and look great with any other fabric (apart from knit)
Tips: Doesn’t go with knit sweaters.
Wear with longer tops, if you are not a size 6, these can be prone to camel toes.
Found at: Glue, or eBay for $15.99
The vertical stripe legging:
This style is for the more daring of you as it takes confidence to pull it off. The vertical pattern does wanders for the legs elongating them and flattering them.
Tips: Wear with black or white top.
Looks great with biker boot or heel.
Found at: eBay for $5.99
Now you see when I said “affordable” I really meant it.
I’ll keep you posted,
ek.
