Jodie

Jodie, first year history
This frosty fall week I have seen Uggs reappear and umbrellas swallow your lovely outfits; but Jodie tackles the autumn attire quite well! Being one of those people that cannot give up wearing shorts, even though the leaves have long left their trees, she pairs them with warm tights. Adding a cosy dark green cardigan to this she matches fall's warm shades of orange perfectly. Essentially, autumn is all about layers upon layers, a motto that Jodie seems to have gotten down. She loves hunting the vintage shops for colourfully patterned cardigans that add a fun aspect to the outfit, though the one she covered herself in today was a Primark bargain. She usually hits the high street shops where she seeks out high-waisted clothing as she finds it looks more flattering; her most recent buy are a pair of leather trousers from Topshop that have already become a new favourite in her wardrobe. Though plenty people give them a try, I still find them quite bold, but she feels that Londoners are not afraid to be daring at times. Still, for a night out she leaves the leather at home and goes for something more classic: “You really can never go wrong with a little black dress”. The LSE community definitely dresses smartly according to her, but she is not sure if it is thanks to the environment. I would say the fact that we are in the middle of London has a distinct influence on the way people dress; open your eyes and be inspired by the wonderful styles that pass you everyday on campus – you'd be surprised!
