Welcome to our new permanent blog series for Warwick Fashion Society, coming every other Friday! Exec Blogger Jill Lupupa's series ' Thrifty Ideas' shows you the freshest outfits on the street right now, but helps you to create the looks for less! This week she talks us through how to achieve Florence Welch, Lucy Hale and others outfits, but doing so on a budget!
As a little introductory to my ' Column' on this blog, I'll be writing Fashion commentaries on looks that ( hopefully!) students love, and showing you how tot thriftily get your hands on similar versions of them.
We all know the tricks of the trade involving UNiDAYS or NUS cards, studentbeans.com, sale discounts, and club points but in the haze of busily shopping, it’s too easy to forget to actually use them or go to the effort of doing so. But in times of running low student finance, minimum wage, and too-many-events, applying discounts can make all the difference in the long run.
Celebrities and their instagram's are a great way to find fashion inspiration ... some instagrams are haywire, some thematic, but how else will we stalk -I mean, see - what our favourites are wearing outside of the press?
