    Heading off to UCD next month, and I need to go shop for a few essentials. Any suggestions for a lady such as myself trying to look good and casual on a budget?:)

    UCD eh?

    Fake Tan, Hairspray in your oversized bag, Pumps/Uggs/Retro 90's trainers, long cardigans, vests, skinny jeans and a D4 accent is what you'll need!!!!!!

    :pac:

    Just stick to your usual style, don't try and impress.

    I recommend a few pairs of jeans and nice tops which are suitable for daytime and casual evening pints. And comfortable shoes! Nothing worse than tottering around campus in pain. Also, a good "sensible" coat for winter. By sensible I mean that it should be warm and fit you properly and won't get destroyed if it gets wet. You WILL get rained on moving between lectures/bus stop/college bar/ etc. But as donegalgirl2 said, stick with your own style and whatever you're comfortable in. Anything goes really at college.

    Comfortable bag for hauling books/laptop/notes around in!

    A good coat and a good pair of boots that can be worn day or night, formal or informal, with dresses or trousers will get you far. Riding boots or other tall flat boots in brown rather than black are your best bet, along with a woollen knee-length coat in a sade that suits the colours you like best e.g. camel if you wear a lot of pastels, grey if you wear a lot of black, bold red/purple/etc. if you wear darker colours and white if you dress like you went for a roll in a rainbow.

    Get a schoolbag! Roxy and quicksilver do nice ones. Trust me... lugging a laptop/notes/books around in your handbag is torture on your body, and ruins your handbags

    Couldn't agree more! I don't understand why girls carry their books/laptops in a shoulder bag (or worse still, showing off their books coming out of the library..you're no brainbox love, if you had some sense you put your books in your bag)

    Your back will be wrecked. buy a good backpack and use it. Trust me!

    Oh and a rainjacket and decent brolly..altho I am from Galway where that's a necessity all year round!

    Pay out on nice and good shoes too, none of this penneys lark...

    Be yourself under all of this :)
