Requested Dress for Less: First Day of Uni

I haven't had a requested Dress for Less in a while so I was quite excited to help out Anna with her request:
I need a nice fashionable outfit that's cute and sexy at the same time, for the first day of university :) my budget is £50 :) any stores you like, I don't have any particular items, and I love the colours grey, white, black and pink :) although I don't mind any colours, apart from red and orange :)
She starts school in the fall so I tried to make this layered so if it is a hot day she can remove a layer and if it gets cold she can add another. I also decided to keep the colors simple and then add a pop of pink with the necklace.
Flats - £10
Dress - £17
Cardigan - £15.99
Necklace - £8
Total: £50.99

Also, Net-a-Porter's End of Season Sale has started!!! EXCITEMENT! You can get up to 50% off some items!

    Girl I cannot tell you how much mileage I got out of black ballet flats in college. I must have had 10 pairs in 4 years. Such an investment.

    that is probably so the kind of thing I would wear to uni, with ridiculously high heels lol.

    I totally caved with the NAP sale - had no idea til you commented as I've been deleting the emails lol. Bought the Acne pistols. Oops.

    Simple and classic. I like the look. She should take a picture if she decideds to wear it.

    Also I love how the necklace adds some colour into it.
