styledup:knits

i finally have some time on my hands to dedicate to this little blog of mine, and to start off with i've got something exciting. i've come up with a brand new feature for my blog which is going to become quite prominent and hopefully you lovely followers will enjoy it. now i don't know about you, but as a university student with a part-time job i'm kinda low in the funds department. actually, i'm really low. there are so many beautiful pieces of clothing out there which i would love to get my hands on, but if i actually want to live and enjoy a social life, my shopping purchases have to be limited until i figure out how to grow a money tree. so due to this dilemma of mine, i thought i'd put together a trend post each week, made from brands that i love and can actually afford. they're on trend pieces which are not only versatile, but investment pieces which don't cost much to begin with, and all keeping you on trend so you look like your part of the it crowd, but secretly on one hell of a measly budget. i'll list the price of each item, where it's from and give you a few suggestions on different ways to wear them. so here goes the first styledup post!

knits this season have been phenomenal. there are so many to choose from, but these are a few of my favourites. i love the slouchy style because they're perfect for throwing over everything - their versatility is incredible. i can wear a chunky knit with some jeans to uni, and then throw on a tight skirt with some stockings and heels and it's instantly nightwear. i recommend buying a colour you feel comfortable in - i love whites/creams/caramels, and you'll find it goes with everything in your wardrobe.
