Striped Dress - c/o Shein | Faux Leather Jacket - Topshop | Straw Basket Bag - H&M (similar) | Buckle Mules - Mango
I've mentioned it before in my posts, but I used to be a little reluctant about ordering things from sites abroad like Shein, that have super affordable clothes. Now, however, after having a few item from there I am a firm convert. These are the reasons why -
There are pages & pages of things to choose from
... & I mean pages. We all know how much I love Asos, well this is like a new go to place for me, if Asos can't come up with the goods. I shop online so much, I very rarely actually go to the shops now. I think working in retail has taken the joy of actual real life shopping away from me. Some might say I shop online too much, I may or may not check my favourite sites everyday, and I hate it when there's nothing new to see. The 'new in' page is full of the same Bardot tops you saw 4 days ago. With Shein there's always something new and I can scroll until my heart is content while I watch Hollyoaks. Like at the moment I'm looking for a dress to wear to the races... there's 10 pages to scroll through on Shein, plenty of items for me to be fussy with and find "the one".
Everything is super affordable
I know I've mentioned that already, but for someone like me it's a big factor. I'm in my second year of setting up my business, I have bills to pay and food shopping to do. It's not all Net a Porter & Cos for me unfortunately, but as I said, I love to shop. The prices being so affordable means that I can shop away and the bank balance doesn't take too much off a hit. For example, this dress I'm wearing was only 10 bloody dollars! $10!! That's like £7. That's a coffee and a muffin... I know what I'd rather have.
The quality is good
Now this was my main concern when first shopping at Shein, but I needn't worry. The first thing I had from there was this gingham top, on the website it looked really nice but being my first time ordering & it being so cheap I wasn't expecting too much. If you read my post about it, I was so pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It's the nicest poplin fabric and could literally be a high end high street piece. Everything I've ordered since I've been really impressed with to. Reservations have officially vanished!
There is always an offer on
... & who doesn't love a bloody good promo code, I know I do. I'm one of those people its targeted at, and by jove does it work. "20% off shoes you say? I'll take 7 pairs"... that's me.
At the moment they have $5, $15 and $40 off certain amounts. Don't be put off by ordering in dollars either, I always used to be a bit funny about it, I don't know why now. Good ol' Paypal sorts you out and converts it for you anyway!
They have damn good dupes
Good dupes, but without being fakes. There's a huge difference for me. There's being the style of a designer bag, and then the ones you get on holiday in Turkey that are exact copies with the logo that slightly altered. It might say Cucci instead of Gucci or some shit like that. Some of my favourite dupes they do are Chloe style ones, look at this bad boy! I haven't got round to ordering a bag yet for myself, but it seems the quality is just as good as the clothing. One of my favourite fellow bloggers, Chelcie Nicole, did a great review on her JW Anderson dupe from Shein. It was only a snip of the price at £17, saving you a whopping £1078 if you were to buy the real deal! You could go to marbs for that... for 2 weeks! Maybe all inclusive, who knows.
Anyway, it might be worth mentioning I have not been paid to write this post. I do collaborate with Shein now and then, but these really are all my own views... I'm just a firm fan and wanted to share my new found love with you.
Happy Shopping.
