OOTD Trend Mix; Sporty Meets Grunge

(Sorry for the poor quality photos)

I love sporty and grunge trends; this outfit kind of happened by accident. Both tops were hung up on the outside of my wardrobe and I loved how the fringing looked behind the sports tee so I tried in on and voila. I'm not too sure if the outfit looks borderline silly but I liked it when I put it on this morning and thought I would put it up as an outfit post to gauge people's thoughts!

Both tops I bought at bargain sale prices;
RI Wildcats Sporty Tee £7
Primark Fringed Top £3

I paired the tops with plain staple black jeans to add to the grunge feel and so the fringe had a background to stand out against.

I've seen countless AW posts recently which are getting me more and more excited for the upcoming season; leather, tartan and plaid are definitely on top of my winter wishlist and I can't wait for new season pieces to hit the high street that you've all been blogging about!

I got a bit ahead of myself and ordered some tartan nail wraps which I think look a bit too wintery right now but oh well I love tartan! Picked up these wraps for £1.25 on eBay and still have loads left to redo them.
I've always had a pet hate for long and fake nails; I just can't stand the feel of them but I do think they look nice and beings as I'm celebrating my 19th birthday this weekend I thought why not get some cheap DIY ones to put the wraps on.

Forever on a Budget, Primark Haul < £25

I've always had an unquenchable thirst for buying clothes but since just finishing my first year at the University of Manchester, my budgeting and bargain-hunting qualities have had to take over any impulsive thoughts which is hard when there are so many beautiful clothes out there. I'm sure many of you are in this position too!

Although I'm working a lot this summer, student lifestyle has well and truly drummed into me the value of money so I thought I'd treat myself to a budgeted Primark spree (Couldn't become much more of a cheap skate I know!haha)

 With a mere TWENTY THREE POUNDS I managed to bag myself a lovely monochrome cami, tapestry shorts, a blue and white tile-print blouse and 5 rings! Which I'm sure you'll agree with is pretty good going!

I feel like people tend to shop at Primark mainly for staple items and jewellery and feel embarrassed to look at the Primark sale because Primark is so cheap anyway. I like to think I have no shame and picked up the shorts for half price at £5!

Blue & White Tile-Print Blouse - £10

Monochrome Cami with Keyhole Back - £5

Tapestry Shorts - £5

Silver Rings - £3
