This was my go to fashion style at Uni, its very easy to throw on in a rush. I also kept my face simple as I usually never had time for elaborate make up!

I went to Uni up north in England where it is usually quite cold so a jumper or something else to keep warm is often a necessity.

This outfit is somewhat of an Ode to Topshop, my old employer, Most of my clothes are still from there and Its my absolute favourite store! Next to Zara of course

Outfit details:
Gold Crochet Jumper: Oasis
Distressed looking Denim Jeans: Topshop
Leather and Suede Boots: Topshop
Spiked earrings: Topshop
Gold Watch: Vintage
Chain rings: Topshop

How do you guys dress for school? I had girls in my class who would turn up in stilettos looking like full on glamour pusses at 9am. They looked gorgeous! But the above is the best I can do for class at that time!

Check out my video to see the look in 3d!

10 Things to Expect from College / University!

NO Cliche: University was the best time of my life so far! Here is a heads up on what to expect

  1. You will be broke at some point -
    unless the bank of mummy and daddy helps you out, which will require some grovelling as in my case lol.
  2. You will make great friends and meet some crazy imbeciles
    Each set will bring joy into your life, One makes you happy when they step in, the other when they step out! 
  3. Distractions will be everywhere
    Toga parties, daytime tv... who knew that cash in the attic could be so fascinating?
  4. There is a really really high chance you will get fat
    At least 2 dress sizes - if you are not careful!
  5. Relationships
    your high school relationship might end, or it might be strengthened, either way long distance relationships are hard! Think carefully if the person you are investing all the time and effort in is worth it... if so, cool beans! 
  6. You will be miserable.. sometimes
    Even if it is only for a few moments when you suddenly realise that you miss home! Also when the fire alarm goes off at 3am in the morning and you have a 9am class. 
  7. Roomates
    see number 2
  8. There will be lots of work to do and no one to force you to do it!
    YAY! for the organised folks, NAY to everyone else because it takes herculean effort to maintain your focus at uni/college. I certainly struggled at first, then it became second nature :-)
  9. Word spreads fast!
    Think twice and be easy on the alcohol. You can have a great time at university and graduate with your dignity intact! Uni in England lasts 2 - 3 years, but you don't want to be remembered as 'The girl who... " for the rest of your life
  10. Help is everywhere!
    Seek the support of your friends, family and counsellors if things get a bit difficult! 

I go into much more detail on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/allisbelle
