Steal her style: Vici

Helen Tither
16/ 5/2008

EVERY week we're out on the style scene scouting out you fabulous fashionistas. This week Helen Tither caught up with 24-year-old Vici Thompson, a victim support worker from Manchester, to find out about her look.

How would you describe your style?

My boyfriend would probably say I'm not a very good dresser - I think he prefers skinny jeans and high heels. But then, I dress him most of the time! I would sum my look up as off-key skater maybe.

Where did you buy today's outfit and how much did it cost?

Vest: Bershka, £10

Jeans: Superdry, £40

Belt: Adidas factory, Stockport, £5

Trainers: Nike, present from boyfriend

Who is your style icon?

I don't know. If I like something I just wear it. I don't like to follow what's in fashion.

Name your favourite shops.

Joy and Superdry

What's your best ever buy?

A coat I got from Joy, reduced from £90 to £28, I wear it all the time.

What's your biggest fashion mistake?

I dyed my hair blonde all over once and it looked awful. I didn't even want to go out to school.

How much do you usually spend on clothes each month?

More than I should most probably. Around £100.

What item of clothing can't you live without?

A short grey hoodie I've got that I wear all the time. In the winter it keeps me warm underneath other clothes. In summer it's just easy to pop into my bag.
