    University clothes
    So not long now till everyone goes....just wondering what kind of stuff people are gonna wear for the first few days and stuff? Don't wanna be too dressed up but at the same time I don't wanna be too drabby. And please no unneccessarily negative comments from people who say I should have more pressing things on my mind at uni - I really have no time for you.

    I have thought a bit about that, and I guess I will dress as I always dress. I see no reason to change my way of dressing because I am at uni. Or am I mistaken?

    where what you want, its your style. People will just be wearing what they would normally wear, don't go with the crowd, be yourself.

    I wanted to buy a dress and nice boots, but then I realised that Christmas it coming up (yay Santa...:|) and I rather spend my money on stuff I won't regret like food..

    In saying that I have terrible, terrible clothes

    I started by dressing my smart version of normal (shirts, chinos and sweater vests), but once you fall into the comfoprt of uni you will find yourself adopting a style that usually involves uni stash (predominantly hoodies) and any pair of trousers/sweats and boots/shoes that were nearest to your best when you got up, 10 mins before the lecture.

    Skinny jeans, loads of hoodies, PJ bottoms for early lectures and most importantly a beanie with one of those middle eastern looking scarfs. Then you will be a real student

    Jeans and a nice top / T-shirt. There is no way I'm spending however long worrying over how I look when there is soo much more to be doing. I doubt anyone will pay that much attention to what you wear anyway so just wear what you're comfortable in.

    Be yourself. No point making an effort for the first few days and then reverting back to normality. Moving in is stressful enough as it is without needing to worry about outfits/make-up/not getting sweaty while carrying boxes around. Wear something fun but chilled out and comfortable, and let your personality do the talking.
