New College Wardrobe

    I have just cleared out my drawers and thrown out loads of ill fitting old clothes. Most if my "good" clothes are for work and I don't have many very nice casual clothes but now that I'm heading to do a course in September I really need to get a capsule wardrobe to get me going. Any suggestions for a max budget of €350? I will buy a new pair of jeans but don't want to live in jeans everyday.

    I am also looking for a pair of boots, ideally I would like a calf high, mid heel lace up boot as I had a pair before and loved them, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for (although I know summer isn't the best time to track down a boot.)

    Shorts and black tights.
    Ugg boots.
    T shirts
    Jeans
    Chiffon type shirt / blouse
    Think that is what most students live in.

    Thanks but I'm a more mature student, at 28 I'd prefer a pair of more stylish boots than Ugg boots.

    The comfort brand Reiker had some nice boots like you describe last year, this is the only pic I can find but I know I tried on a mid-calf height style last year.

    I'd say a good browse in TK Maxx one morning before the place gets too mental could find you a few bargains clothes-wise

    Hi Sala

    Are you looking for combat/military type boots? (example: http://cdn-s3-0.wanelo.com/product/image/1229377/original.jpg ).

    Zara, TK Maxx, Dorothy Perkins and New look would be where I'd recommend for shopping for clothes. I'm not a debenhams fan; BT's might be a bit expensive for A/W stuff. If you are around the Kildare area - Kildare Village is great. For online shopping - I'd also second Asos.
