A new academic year means new clothes.

It's an age-old fact. One knows you cannot get into the mindset of "golden weeks" and long evenings in the library without new clothes that make you feel fab while heading to lectures. But thankfully, fab doesn't have to be expensive and Penneys is providing us with two new chunky knits that will see you right through A/W and the coldest of mornings pre-9am lectures. Coming in grey and mustard, these two cable-knit beauties are a must for any wardrobe.

Grey €16

Mustard €16

Theme with tights, a cute check skirt and Chelsea boots or alternatively, theme with jeans, a tee and some flash trainers for a cute, more casual look. When it comes to a chunky knit, the ends are limitless. But one thing that is always a great investment when it comes to going back to college is to invest in a good pair of runners. One pair that we're loving at the moment is from Nike. For €75, they won't break the bank but at the same time, they add that necessary pop of colour to our wardrobe. Dreamy. Now, all we need is some cute stationary and you can call us Ms 1.1.
