As of today, it has been 51 days since the lockdown started in the UK. The days before it was announced were surreal, with an uneasy feeling hanging over our last few lectures as we knew we might not see each other for a while.

There's nothing I love more than vintage clothes. Recycling and upcycling old clothes is a great hobby to take on, allowing you to build up a unique and quirky wardrobe.
A big part of fashion is experimenting with and exploring different styles. Being trendy and up to date with current fashion is great but creating your own style and wearing clothes you like (even though it might be out of fashion) is also important. I've decided to make a series of posts about exploring different types of styles that I have found and seen. In this post I try to pull of the pastel goth look.
As a student one of my main concerns in everyday life is how much I am spending. Money consumes so much of my thoughts, it holds me back from doing (and buying) so much. But one thing I don't let it completely corrupt is my wardrobe.
