| Kirsty, from Liverpool, 2nd year International Relations |
Kirsty definitely has a more understated style than most of the people from her hometown of Liverpool or “the land of platform shoes, flash eyelashes and false tan” as she describes it. For her, anything brown, mustard, wool or tweed will find its way into her wardrobe, a style that she says is inspired by “kitchen sink” films and plays of the 1960s, such as A Taste of Honey and The L Shaped Room. As you might expect, she maintains this unique look by frequenting vintage shops, but surprisingly not through the average channels: “The best thing to do is to source out vintage wholesalers and pretend you’re a buyer for a vintage shop, or go to charity shops. Don't pay extortionate prices for vintage clothes!” Today however, she made full use of a resource much closer to home: her flatmate's closet, whose tastes should get some credit for this outfit! The jumper, which is her own, is this winter's must have item according to Kirsty, who offers some practical advice “Don’t be silly wafting around in your TopShop crop top, you'll catch a cold, stick a jumper on for God's sake.” Her tolerance for the warm but omnipresent LSE hoodie however has evaporated. “If you're sitting next to me at a computer or shooting down my point in class, I'm pretty sure you go to the LSE, I don't need you to transmit the message via an overpriced hoodie.”
