Apologies everyone. I have been swamped with revision after realising how soon A-levels are. On the bright side, I now have firmed Imperial, so now I need to look as good as the Londoners.
@pagan-scimitar - so far I've avoided ASOS due to cost and also bc I try to avoid buying fast fashion, but I think I will end up succumbing to them soon.
@wilamena - I think you've summed it up nice well. I do have some stuff that I love and always wear, but if I'm going to be going out close to every day then I will need to find some more basic pieces. With regards to the unique pieces, I think I should just give it some time and they'll soon pop up. One thing that I will use Vinted for is when there's something on Pinterest that I really want.
@Orange Blossom - Which stores do you wait until they have a sale? And what % off do you tend to wait for?
@
artful_lounger - that's a really good point. I think I'll look at ASOS and do some trial-and-error until I find basic pieces that I really like. At these SU clothes sales, are the clothes reasonably priced, and is there a wide variety of styles?
@
University of Salford Student Rep - I hadn't really thought of that before. I'm studying medicine, so I presume I will need some more formal pieces. I think I can find these either at Primark or ASOS. Also, what rating does a Vinted seller need for you to buy something from them.
@username7368346 - I had a look at the websites you suggested but unfortunately they weren't my thing. Perhaps if I need something more formal they will come in handy. I will keep looking though. Thank you.
@Username123ab - I like browsing at TKmaxx, and they have good brands, but often I find that they put the stuff that is less nice, so it takes much more sleuthing to find something I like. Its also hard to find something cheap there yet still nice; the nice things are reduced from how much they'd be in-store, but still not sure I'd be able to afford it on a student budget.
@
LJMUStudentReps - What a coincidence! I've been looking for new trainers. My old ones were from TKMaxx, so maybe I'll check there again before looking online. I did recently get Doc Martens as a gift so I'm at least set for winter.
