A GCU Student’s Guide for Girls to Updating Your Wardrobe on a Budget!

It’s nearing that time of year again, the end of our dreary Scottish summer, as I suspect you’re starting to think about updating your wardrobe for the Autumn and Winter months but you just don’t have the budget.

Well, you’re in luck, I visited the Glasgow Sauchiehall Street Primark store and had a look at what they had available in store right now!

Yes, I know what you’re thinking, Sauchiehall Street? Most people just think of Sauchiehall Street as where a lot of the ‘in-trend’ bars and clubs but it’s also where Primark is- a shop that is home to amazing bargains!

Primark are totally in with the trends and they stock similar things to the more expensive high street shops like Zara and Topshop, however, you can get just about a full outfit for the price of one item- it’s so incredibly affordable! An added bonus is that their products are that affordable you don’t have to wait until payday or saas-mas” to give your wardrobe a little update!

I had a look around and came up with a few outfits just to show you the fact that you can get yourself a full outfit for the price of a single item in a shop like Zara or Topshop.

DRESSY OUTFITS

Heading out with your friends straight after class and want to look like you’ve made an effort but don’t want to have to carry about a whole change of clothes? Fear not as I have you sorted with these dressy outfits which can easily be dressed down or dressed up- so you ideally only need to carry a spare pair of shoes with you or possibly even nothing to change into depending on where you’re headed.
