Student Style: x1 Item Worn x7 Different Ways!

I know from my own college days how hard it is to have money for new style when there are other more pressing expenses such as books, educational supplies, etc.

I also know how important it is to shop wisely when on a student budget! The fashion gems you need to keep an eye out for are the ones around which you can centre several looks, as it is these kind of versatile pieces that will serve you well in the long run.

Just recently for instance, I purchased a stylish black faux fur gilet from River Island, and one of the great things about it is that I can wear it anywhere, regardless of whether I am heading to a meeting, or going for dinner with my family. Yesterday, I wore it under my leather jacket and it actually gave a gorgeous faux fur collar look to my jacket!

I was so impressed by my new purchase, that I got the idea to create seven different looks, using the gilet as the main piece in each one! (it also comes in a a stunning cranberry/wine colour that is exclusive to online)
