| Katie, 2nd year Social Policy student |
The saying goes that ‘cheap is cheerful!’… Well, cheap is undoubtedly rather fashionable too - as Katie has proven with this quirky homespun ensemble! Yes true, the best things in life are indeed for free (great - if you happen to be a supermodel showered with gifts….) but surely the next best thing for us mere mortals is charity shops? With all the hoopla surrounding budget cuts and student loans extortion etc; I propose that charity shops up and down the country to be flagged as Student’s Shopping Sanctuaries! In particular, Katie champions hometown Sheffield’s charity shops where prices have not yet been subjected to the London Inflation effect. Describing her own style as ‘eclectic,’ it is phenomenal how a well placed lop-sided bow on the head can speak volumes about a person’s individuality… immediately we are subconsciously thinking more ‘dollface’ than ‘dullface’! Katie also employs the use of one tool when it comes to clothes – scissors! That’s right, scissors to chop and crop to your heart’s content until you get the perfect hem length that you have always wished for – (or even laddered tights in Katie’s case!) Charmed by Katie’s style? Then be sure to tune in to her LSE Pulse Radio Show ‘Afternoon Delights’ Friday 1-2 pm, where you will be treated to a verbal slice of ‘things you don’t wanna know about!’
