There are certain wardrobe staples that every girl just has to have; a winter coat that will go with everything, a killer pair of black boots and the perfect dress for a night out. As a student though, price can often be a hurdle that gets in the way. So if you’re on a tight budget, then I’ve found some great buys for you. And equally, if you’ve saved up to invest in something more expensive then I’ve found some amazing pieces for you too. As we get further into winter (*burrows deeper under duvet*), it’s vital that you have a really nice wear-with-everything coat. If you want to avoid investing in more than one, I’d suggest going with a neutral colour. For those trying to save the pennies, this Boohoo beauty is only $44! If you have more to spend then I’d go with this one; I love the smart tailored finish. If you’re planning on a total budget-breaker then this coat from Bluefly is gorgeous; although you can get it for less with your UNiDAYS® discount! Black boots will see you all the way from now until next Fall - they are the ultimate must-have. These Missguided ones are super fierce and won’t ruin your budget. If you love a chunky heel and want to spend a bite more then I’d get these from Dune. I love the zip detail on this pair and they’re an investment worth making; in the wise words of Taylor Swift - they’ll never go out of style. Whether it’s a friends birthday or cocktails with the girls, it’s a good idea to always have a beautiful dress at the ready. This Pacsun number is a total steal at under $40 and black is always a good (and flattering) choice. Keeping with the lacy theme, the bardot style on this dress from ASOS is a nice alternative style and if you want a total show-stopper then invest in this For Love & Lemons dress; it will definitely turn heads!
