Girl Talk: Affordable Back-To-School Outfits

-
Since my 'Summer Fashion' post, I have been playing around on polyvore non-stop! In that post, I said that I would be posting a Back-To-School collection. As many people have been going back to school this week, or are going back next week, I thought that it was only right to do this post today! When looking around today, I decided to only choose clothes that would be in a teenager's parent's price range. I have chosen a few outfit ideas that I think would be suitable and affordable for anyone to wear casually to school (if you don't have a uniform) college, or even university!

All prices to each piece of clothing will be below as well as a link where you can buy each one. Some of them have bags and some don't, mainly because most people use one school bag with every outfit and if you're going to school within the next week or two then you most likely already have the bag that you're going to use for the rest of the year!
I hope you enjoy reading about the outfits that I've picked!

(A lot of these clothes are American websites, so if you live elsewere, please check if they have international shipping before you buy them! If not, you could probably find a good replacement wherever you are. All prices have been converted to British Pounds)

Outfit 1

I love this outfit, including the bag. I think the jumper is nice because it looks like it's made of a soft material and is warm enough to be worn in the winter that we have coming up!

Jumper: Topshop.com - £43
Jeans: Veromoda.com - £24
Shoes: Psyche.co.uk - £49
Bag: Wetseal.com - £18

Outfit 2

This is quite a nice outfit I think because the cardigan and the shoes make it look really casual, but without the cardigan, and heels instead of flats, it could be a 'going out' outfit too! I also love the top because it's not the same length as a normal t-shirt, but it's not short enough to be labelled as a 'crop top'.

Cardigan: Delias.com - £18
Top: Jades24.com - £64
Skirt: Newlook.com - £9.99
Shoes: Office.co.uk - £48

Outfit 3

I've been told that I wear too much solid colours, so these floral trousers are something that I may definitely be buying myself! I also love the fact that the vans match the trousers. I also like the cropped jacket!

Cami top: Reiss.com - £21
Jacket: Monki.com - £28
Trousers: Boohoo.com - £18
Vans: Vans.com - £33

Outfit 4


This is the first really 'girlie' outfit. I like the bright pink because it stands out from the black and makes me think of summer, which is always a plus!

Dress: Nelly.com - £23
Cardigan: Mango.com - £30
Leggings: Lipsy.co.uk - £10
Shoes: HM.com - £7.99
 s

Outfit 5

This is probably my favourite outfit from this collection. By looking at my blog, you can tell that I love the colour pink. And this pale pink (or ballet pink as I call it) is a gorgeous colour, and goes so well with the white dress!

Dress: Ricketyrack.com - £48
Cardigan: Johnlewis.com - £49
Shoes: dorothyperkins.com - £15
Bag: Debenhams.com - £22

So these are my Back-To-School outfits. I hope you enjoyed reading this and seeing what my style is!

Thank you for reading

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Miller's Girl | Film Review

A creative writing assignment complicates the relationship between a teacher (Martin Freeman) and his student (Jenna Ortega). I heard about this film maybe once and remember being interested in it, but then I never heard anything about it again. So when I saw it was available to rent/buy on Prime Video, I decided to give it a shot.  I don't know what to make of this one. I didn't hate it, but there wasn't a lot to like. The only thing I did like was that Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega worked really well together and had good chemistry. I'd love to see them work together again, in a film with a better plot and a less weird (platonic) relationship. The characters are written really weirdly. There were many moments when they said things that were just so unbelievable, especially Jenna Ortega's character, Cairo. Another odd aspect of the film was the tone - I could never tell if things were supposed to feel sinister or not because the film couldn't decide how it wa

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i

Snatch | 100 Movies Bucket List

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due
