Club Dos and don't

Hello,

As you know I turned 18 in March and went out almost every weekend  for about 5 weeks. I have curbed it now though as I cant afford it and it is just not good for your body to go out all the time. ANYWAY when you do go out here is my top tips.

• Wear Comfortable shoes.

This is the most important thing! Your night will be 10x better if you're comfortable. When you're drunk you are obviously a lot more wobbly as well so if you are wearing 10 inch stilettos there is a high chance you will end up hurting your ankle or falling over. I wear flats almost all the time I go out now, or if I feel like wearing heels I go for the wedges route. Here is some good places to get stylish flats and wedges.

1. Topshop £20
2. Topshop £15 (on sale)
3. Office £35 (On Sale)
4. Newlook £24.99
5. Newlook £14.99
6. Newlook £24.99

• Bring a coat/Jacket

So many people walk to clubs freezing, or stand in the que freezing, there is no reason to do that. Just bring a coat/Jacket and put it in the cloakroom! It is only £1.80 in my local club which is cheaper than a drink anyway. There are some really nice jackets out right now:

All three of theese are from river island

1. £50
2. £65
3. £60

Primark also have some really nice jackets at the moment and for a lot cheaper, so check them out.

• Be Equipped

First of all you need a bag that isn't too big or small. It would also be good to have a strap aswell, so if you want a clutch try and get one with an attachable strap. This is so you have your hands free to dance or hold your drink.

1. £18 River Island
2. £28 Dorothy Perkins
3. £14.99 Newlook

Next is what you should carry in your bag:

Tissues- incase there is no loo roll! ShopJeen $2

Plasters- Incase you get a blister, or have a drunken injury. $5 ShopJeen

Hand Sanatiser- Incase the sinks are crowded from girls touching up their makeup. $6 ShopJeen

Cash- Bring out enough cash for drinks and travel and don't bring your bank card. Seriously you will thank me for this. We all do it, get drunk and think it will be an excellent idea to spend all our money. This is not a great idea and it means the morning after not only are you hungover you also have a very poor looking bank statement. 

That is the essentials covered I may do another post shortly on good outfits for clubbing and where to get them.

Money Saving Fashion

So half term is over (sad face) which means back to college. Usually if I have had time of college I return with lots of new clothes and spend far too much money. However I don't have a job right now and need to run my car so need to ease up on my shopping for a while.

I know that right now it is hard to get a job for a lot of young people wanting part time work so I am going to tell you how to make outfits out of things you already have or spending as little money as possible.

My first thing is collar tips. My accessory staple. Regal rose have some gorgeous ones here however they are rather expensive I have bought a few pairs off eBay for less than £2 that are so nice! Just type collar tips into the search bit if you want the same as me go here and here. They make your shirts look completely different and can for example turn a girly floral shirt into an edgy vintage piece.

My second outfit mash up is dresses. Don't think that now it's autumn/winter your dresses have to wait until next summer to come out. I wear dresses all year! There are so many ways to change up dresses such as Tights & leggings patterned tights and leggings can bring an outfit to life and don't think you can't wear patterns together because you can. Everyone should have their own style and just mix it up a bit. Also wooly tights are a winter must have! My favourite places to get tights are

Motel Rocks

House Of Holland

My Tights 

Top Shop

But I'm sure you already have tights so you don't have to spend money.

Another way to change up your dresses is layering. I have spoken about this in a previous post. Jumpers on top of dresses can make a whole new look as they look like skirts and just give a different look. You could also wear a long sleeved top underneath a dress to give it a more winter/ autumnal look.

My third money saving outfit is swapping/borrowing. I am constantly 'borrowing' my grandad and nan's knit wear. It's vintage stuff for free! Just ask your grandparents, aunts and parents if they have any clothing that they don't want anymore or that you can borrow.  Swapping is brilliant I know a lot of youtubers do swaps where they have a budget and buy clothes for each other and send them. This is a great idea, if you have money. 

A free way to swap would be to sort out your wardrobe and get your friends to as we'll because there is no way you need to keep everything in there. I am awful at getting rid of clothes even if is too small I just say I'll slim into it but you just need to think practically. Ask yourself "am I going to where this?" "Where?" And "when?" And " with what" If you can't answer one of thee questions get rid. If you get all your friends to do this as well you can then swap your unwanted clothing with theirs so you have new outfits. 

Finally Accssesories are your friends! Just add jewellery, hats, belts and jackets to outfits to give them a new look.

Good places for accsesories are;

Regal Rose

Rokit

Vintage Shops

Love Hearts & Crosses

Dolly Bow Bow

There are so many more ways to re vamp your wardrobe, yet I don't want to write a short book on here as this has turned out to be a rather long post! If you have any questions either comment tweet or email me  Love K xo
