I recently ordered a few items from Shein and I thought I’d put together some outfits and do a little haul! Shein definitely can be a hit or miss, but if you know how to navigate the site you get more hits than misses. I wrote a blog post with all my best tips for shopping at Shein because sometimes it can be difficult. Following these tips that I have learned through experience make it an enjoyable place to shop. Click here to check out the blog post!
Some of these items did not work out for me and unfortunately I forgot to take pictures while trying them on, so instead I’ll link them and explain why I returned them. Let’s start with my favorites!
FAVORITES
- Two-Tone Flannel
I am obsessed with this flannel! It is oversized and so cute. I have zero complaints and I am going to get a lot of wear out of this one!
Flannel – $18.00
- Cream Sweater Vest
I LOVE this sweater vest. I really didn’t thinkI could pull it off but putting outfits together for it has been surprisingly easy. I’m planning on posting a blog on a few ways to style a sweater vest, so stay tuned.
Sweater Vest – $17.00
FAILS
- White Oversized Blouse
They weren’t kidding when they said this was oversized. I bought it in my usual size to wear under a sweater vest with a skirt and this shirt was so big I couldn’t get the sweater vest to look right. I tried to make it work as a dress, but it was too short on the sides. I recommend either sizing down in this blouse or just trying a different one altogether.
White Oversized Collared Shirt – $16.00
- Heart Mom Jeans
I have never found jeans that fit me well from Shein. These ones gapped so much in the waist and just generally did not fit my body well. They also are very noticeably a cheaper denim material. I prefer to splurge a bit more on my denim. However, if you have a more straight body rather than curvy and don’t mind a cheaper denim for the fun print, these could be great for you!
- Plaid Skirt
I wanted to love this so much!! I even took an instagram photo in it (shown above!). It was really oversized so it kept falling down (I tucked the skirt into my bra so it would stay up) and the zipper broke the first time I put it on which is weird since it was way too big anyway! If the zipper didn’t break I would have ordered this in a smaller size.I definitely will be trying to order something else like this though because it did make a really cute outfit.
Plaid Skirt – $13.00
