I'm going to be really good at being a poor student

I'm going to be really, really good at being a poor student when I (hopefully) move out of home later this year. Yes. Why? Well, for starters, I sewed this dress myself. And guess where I sourced the stripey material for the top? A pillow case. Not even a pillow case I already owned. A thrifted pillow case. (I washed it first) That's how ridiculously thrifty I have gotten, apparently. The light blue was some remnant material from a charity store as well. But I really like how the dress turned out! I think the colours go really nicely together, and I love the stripes, even if it was once used for someone's sleepy head! I also have a new boater hat (finally!) This gorgeous hat is c/o Wholesale-dress. I was seriously blown away by its quality, because it's flipping $4!! Oh my god, I'm the cheapest person ever. Wearing: Dress - I made it! Bag - c/o Mochi Beaucoup Hat - c/o Wholesaledress Necklace #1 - Vintage Necklace #2 - c/o My Name Necklace Tights - Forever 21 Shoes - Yesstyle A lovely lady called Ashlee sent me an email the other day asking what music I listened to, because she was wondering how my music taste reflected my style and taste in clothing. From that, I thought maybe I would include a couple of songs in each look which go with the outfit, for anyone else who is curious about my music tastes! So this is my little list of songs for this look (& let me know if you'd like me to keep doing this in the future!): Foster the People - Don't Stop (Colour on the Walls) Regina Spektor - Hotel Song Boy & Bear - Golden Jubilee Hope you all had/are having a thrifty Friday! xxx Annika
