Exam styleee

Sooo.. yesterday I had my final exam at uni (1st year complete woo!!). I was a bit nervous, so to keep me calm, I dressed up nice :D

It's a sort of boyish look, not sure how to describe it, but I gave it a girly twist by putting my hair into a doughnut (Pretty Pieces, £2.59, Claires Accessories, Primark).

The shirt is lace and see through, dark blue with a scallop edge. It was my mums in the 80's/90's so not available anymore, though there is this one from Laura Ashley where mine is from if you're not bothered about the lace. This one from H and M is a little less structured, or if you want a proper shirt, I like this one, it's a cute pattern and nicely cut.

I have a black vest top underneath (Primark, £2.50) to preserve my dignity, though I would wear it without one for a night out.

The jeans were from a Next Clearance store (beautiful beautiful bargins!!) a while ago, and got dyed slightly purple thanks to a jumper in the wash :/ but it's a nice colour! Dorothy Perkins have a nice pair, if you've gone for a light top though, go for darker jeans. New Look also do a nice pair.

My shoes are my babies. They are from Ark, (£9.99) and are mens, but I have big feet! You can get them anywhere though, and I also have a white pair to wear with dresses.

For acessories, I kept it simple. My braclet was an 18th Birthday pressie, from Chamilia, but you can get cheap immitations from Claires, Primark, New Look, anywhere really. If you're ridiculous rich, get a Pandora. My necklace was a present from my granny, but any necklace with a short chain would work. Wear it underneath the collar. My ring was another 18th pressie from my other granny, I wear it everyday. This one from Tesco is pretty. Finally, my earrings were in a set of 9 for £2 from Primark.

Whack on a dark grey blazer if it's chilly and go go go :P

Enjoy!
