Eye Candy: Student Fashion

Tuesday of 3rd Week.

Heather , 2nd Year, English.

Heather’s Fashion Statement: “Sometimes I think I dress like a Victorian schoolgirl, sometimes like a boy from the 90s. Consequently, I have a wildly uncoordinated wardrobe”

Summer’s high-waisted floral skirts and thin t-shirts can be easily recycled into the winter-florals trend, when teamed with (as my mother would say) a “sensible” winter coat. Heather’s coat is perfect for petite frames, the voluminous A-Line shape provides a big enough “canvass” to stop the large print becoming overwhelming, but because it’s cut just below the hip it keeps her silhouette looking sleek and stops her legs from looking short!

Blues of all shades are everywhere this autumn/winter, and the large buttons and thick-checked fabric of Heather’s coat nods to the the prevalent military look and masculine influenced tailoring. Also, I love the cowboy boots: not strictly on trend, but idiosyncratic and eclectic.

Student fashion at its best, a thrown together, irreverent look which is nevertheless well balanced, well structured and well executed!
