Style steal: Rachel
Dianne Bourne10/ 3/2008
EVERY week we're out on the style scene scouting out you fabulous fashionistas. This week Diary Editor Dianne Bourne caught up with Rachel Bradley, 21, a TV and radio production graduate from Wigan, to find out about her look.
How would you describe your style?
Smart casual.
Where did you buy today's outfit and how much did it cost?
Scarf: My mum knitted it!
Jacket: Next, £65
Jeans: Primark, £8
Boots: Office, £95
Handbag: TK Maxx, £40
Who is your style icon?
Kylie Minogue - because she's only little like me!
Name your favourite shops.
Republic, for shoes I like Office and TK Maxx for good bargains.
What's your best ever buy?
My graduation ball dress. It was a one-off from a little boutique in Paris, and although it cost £100 that was a lot less expensive to similar styles in the UK. It's a beautiful beaded ballgown.
What's your biggest fashion mistake?
Probably leggings. Everyone just suddenly started wearing them, but not everyone can carry them off.
How much do you usually spend on clothes each month?
It can vary from £40 to £100.
What item of clothing can't you live without?
My handbag. I really couldn't live without it.
