Degree Show 2016 Street Style

I went along to the University of Dundee’s art, design and architecture degree show opening at DJCAD on Friday night and had a chat to some of the stylish guests, who were all really supportive of the University, the degree show and the students graduating this year. Not only did I have great fun chatting to everyone, it was great to see so many people supporting local business, designers and retailers by shopping local.

Below are five looks from the opening night. I have a *prize for the best dressed but I’m really struggling to decide who should win! So, I’m asking you, fellow daydreamers, to vote for your favourite look – the winner will be announced on Thursday 26th May, so cast your vote before midnight the night before!

If you didn’t make it along to the degree show over the weekend, you have all week and the upcoming weekend. It’s really worth a visit – there is so much talent here in Dundee – and I’d love it if you shared your thoughts with me on social media or in the comments below.

As always, thank you so much for reading the blog – happy voting!
