what are you packing for uni?

Queenofhearts

Hi everyone,

I'm going to uni next year and I've noticed the trend is jeans and hoodies. Although, I love my black trousers and have got about 3 blazers! Do u think black trousers and blazers are too smart for university? Would I look overdressed and out-of-place?

Dress how you usually dress, you don't have to conform to anything! And if you think you will look too smart, just wear jeans and a blazer... (that's what i do anyway!) :smile:

I need to buy so many clothes, I'm not prepared at all. :frown:

I need new jeans and more hoodies and plain t-shirts and stuff. Oh and underwear. I wish I had money :rolleyes:

my parents are trying to kick me out too. but i think they're being a bit unreasonable, considering that i will only spend 6 months of the year at uni...

good for you making london your home, though, i'm sure twill be fun!

and, r_raghav11, you are a genius!! i completely forgot about under the bed.

yeah, if you'll be at home the rest of the time that does seem a bit strange... :confused:

Buying loads of new clothes is fun though - well, sort of. If the weather is right and you have enough money to spend :wink:

I call them jackets as well... it seems kinda weird calling them blazers, makes me feel all smart!!

I love them, you can pretty much wear them with anything! :biggrin:

It's usually fun. I currently have zero funds though! Hmmm, I could dip into my student loan...? :rolleyes:

word, my favourite pair are nearly dead and the people who make them seem to have no set pattern, each pair, even if i buy the same size, are totally different.

I tried some of those jeans the other day, they looked horrible on me! I don't have the legs for them... :frown:

I had hoped i wasnt the only lady already thinking about how im gunna take all my **** with me!

So one thing i keep worrying about...........what to wear to formal event if uni has them?! Im off to Nottingham, and im sure there will be a few of these occasions. Yet when i go out on a night, standard dress around here is jeans and a fancy top, I dont even own a dress, let alone a bloody ball gown!

Do you all have one? Or know where i can get something classy but relatively cheap (if thats possible!)

Oh God, I haven't even thought about that! I need to get my act together and make a list of stuff I need or something.

Xanaka and Orsay/Pimpkie are really good for formal wear I think. I bought my ball gown from Orsay 4 years ago or more for 160 DeutscheMark... in today's currency that may be something like 50 to 60 pounds? :confused:

Anyway, I thought it was a good deal until this year I saw the very same dress there in their sales for 5€ :rofl:

- I guess they don't go out of style much once you buy them so they keep them in the shop for ages until it's time for a big clear out and then you can get some real bargins. Maybe there is a shop near you that is preparing to get rid of all its old stuff? You'd have to look/ask around, but a ball gown doesn't have to be expensive, all you need is a great deal of luck and time to hunt around :wink:

You know what izzy, i got a feeling t'was I that said it might be a formal hall! But i think, reading the responses I got in a thread, that i was mistaken and it hu stu that abit formal wit their fancy dinners!

Im at the minute (dont laugh) looking on ebay at formal dresses/ball gowns! I doubt i would dare actually buy a dress off ebay, but just using it to try get some ideas!

I would hate to turn up at uni and have them say
"ok kids we are gunna have a formal party in a week" and id be stuck wi nowt to wear!
