How to style an outfit for just £20!

How to Style an Outfit for £20!

Being poor students and usually living off a small amount of money, it can be hard to find a full outfit for a cheap price! We know this all too well so as a challenge, we decided to try and style three different outfits at just £20 each (including the shoes!) We headed out shopping and obviously hit up Primark. There are usually some simple yet stylish pieces you can get at very affordable prices. However, we were also able to get some great pieces in other stores and even some on sale! Check out our results!

Emily-




Emily is wearing a duck egg dress (Forever 21 £10), a dark green long cardigan (H&M SALE £5.99) and white plimsolls (primark £4). This is a perfect summer to autumn transitional outfit for when its still too hot for a heavy jacket but cool enough to wear a floaty dress! The white plimsolls create a casual feel to the outfit but it could be dressed up with some heels. 

Lisa-




Lisa is wearing a blue V neck jumper (Primark £5), a pleather skirt (Primark £8), fishnets (Primark £1) and black boots (Marks and Spencers SALE £5.99). This is a slightly fancier outfit that is still kept casual with the jumper. The leather skirt and boots make this a perfect outfit for heading out for drinks when the weather starts getting a bit colder. 

Ashleigh-




Ashleigh is wearing a gingham off shoulder top (Primark £6), black jeans (Primark £10) and black court shoes with gold chain detailing (Primark £4). This outfit could be worn for heading up to uni or shopping with friends. The off the shoulder top keeps the outfit looking stylish yet simple when paired with the black jeans.

Overall, we found that the best place for cheap yet stylish clothing is Primark, however you might be able to find some hidden gems in other stores too or even some in the clearance section. This experiment was easy in some ways and difficult in others. It will definitely make us rethink our purchases in the future!

What is Millennial Pink?!

Image
Millennial Pink  "...grapefruit shade of apricotty salmon..." - The Guardian Pantone Rose Quartz Vs Pantone Pale Dogwoood   “Millennial pink” is a timeless colour yet very NOW, and designers can’t get enough of it. The real question is… What is colour millennial pink? And honesty, there isn’t an easy answer to that question! Not everyone agrees on what colour classes as ‘millennial pink’ and it goes from being more peachy pink to being more of a dusty pink depending on who you ask. Therefore, the answer to the question - albeit not a definite one - is that ‘millennial pink' is a range of pink colours. Think of the hotel building in the movie “The Grand Budapest Hotel”,  a great representation of the range of colours that can ‘pass’ as ‘Millennial Pink’.   Many designers adopted this pink into the world of fashion and it has been well received by celebrities both male and female. We seen everyone from Harry Styles in an all pink suit to Rihanna
