"dungareens" which I thought they were called my whole life

So I was feeling creative after screwing up my exam yesterday. So I rooted through my wardrobe and found an old dungaree dress which I never wear. So I decided to get crafty...


I cut the item into the crop top style but kept the material slightly longer so I could still tuck it in. I decided to match it with my Levi denim shorts and I decided I quite liked the double denim look (even if they are slightly different colours/styles).

Here are a few photos of the quick design...

The problems us braless (and boobless) girls face


A petal shaped nipple cover review:

In order to avoid continuously showing my nipples to the world I decided to buy some nipple covers which were essentially for my University summer ball. These particular ones were from Boux Avenue and they were £6.00 for five pairs which seemed a small price to pay considering they were preserving my dignity.

This is what they look like inside the packaging....

 
They actually worked really well, they were very comfortable (minus the ripping them off at the end of the night part), unnoticeable and I would recommend this product especially if you want to go braless with dark colours.
On the other hand whites/creams are an entirely different scenario, they are extremely visible underneath and personally I would rather have my nipples out than appear to have flowers on my boobs.

Charity shop purchase ft. tartan

Charity shops are the key to my spending addiction as an unemployed student.



 Note: ignore pig sty

I recently brought this tartan dress from a charity shop for just £6.00 which was originally from ASOS. The only issue with it is that it's a size 18, so I added a simple black belt to avoid looking like a big Scottish tent man.
