Happy Thursday friends! I hope everyone has had a great week so far. Today is my Friday at work so I’m super happy and looking forward to the weekend ahead!
Today I’m sharing a try-on haul over on my Instagram Stories for a HUGE order I got in from Shein. I had a lot of fun with this order because I actually asked my Instagram followers in my stories to help me shop and pick out some items they thought I should get! I love involving my readers and followers in my shopping and posts, it’s fun for me, plus I get a good idea of the kinds of things you guys like to shop for!
I discovered Shein last year around the time I started blogging and I knew it was going to be a favorite store of mine. Their pieces are so affordable and they have cute, trendy items I’m always looking for! I will say that when shopping on Shein, be sure to LOOK AT THE REVIEWS. The reviews are super good 95% of the time and will tell you how an item fits, if it runs small or large, if it’s high-quality or is see-through/rips easily, etc. The pieces I’ve purchased off Shein have been great, high-quality pieces except for just a few (which I never share since I don’t want to share pieces with you guys that aren’t high-quality or something that I would keep).
All of the pieces I am going to be sharing in this post today are under $25 each! I think the most expensive thing is $22, and the cheapest is $11 (hooray for affordable deals!!) I’ll post sizing details for each item I purchased under each picture, along with the link to the product. I’ll post my normal size at the very bottom of this post so you can compare what my normal size is to what I bought so hopefully that will help you know how the clothes run.
*When I filmed my Instagram Try-On yesterday, a few of these items were on sale so you might hear me mention that in the stories… I’m not sure if those pieces are still on sale or not, but regardless every single piece is still under $25!
Shein Fall Try-On Haul
Leopard Quarter-Zip Teddy Sweatshirt
Size Ordered: Medium
Fit: I ordered a size larger in this because I wanted it to be a little oversized! I also ordered a pullover from Shein last year and it was a little bit short for me, so I wanted to make sure this one was longer. It fits perfectly and it seriously the SOFTEST material. It’s only $17 and is incredible quality for the price. This will definitely be a repeat item for me!
My Recommendation: Order your true size unless you want it to be a little longer/oversized!
High-Neck Striped Sweatshirt
Size Ordered: Small
Fit: This fit perfectly to me. It wasn’t too short or long, or too small or large. I was super happy with the look and feel of it and think it would be a great sweater to wear out and about! You can also style it more casually with leggings and furry boots and I think it would be really cute too.
My Recommendation: Order your true size!
Square Neck Bodysuit & Tweed Plaid Pearl-Button Mini Skirt
Size Ordered in Bodysuit: Medium
Fit: I ordered a medium in this bodysuit because the website said it was form-fitting and normally I have to size up in Shein clothing that is form-fitting. However, I put this on and it was a lot bigger than I expected it to be. I definitely should have gone with a small in this, which is the normal size I get in bodysuits. I can still wear this one (and definitely will!), but it’s a little too long for me and bunches up around the torso.
My Recommendation: Order your true size!
Size Ordered in Mini Skirt: Medium
Fit: So again, I ordered a medium in this, because that is the normal size I order in bottoms. But this is a little too big for me (I actually have it safety pinned in the back in this picture). I absolutely love the look, length, etc, but I do wish I would have gotten a small in this instead of a medium. The quality is great though and it’s only $16! It’s also lined on the inside so you can tell the skirt isn’t thin or anything like that.
My Recommendation: If you’re between sizes, order a size down!
Double-Button Raw Hem Tweed Skirt
Size Ordered: Medium
Fit: I absolutely HAD to have this skirt! I mean it’s tweed AND pink for crying out loud!! I ordered my normal size in bottoms (medium) and it fits perfectly! I paired it with my tan booties, but I really want to snag a pair of white booties and either white sweater or fitted shell to wear with it as well because I think that would such a cute outfit!
My Recommendation: Order your true size!
Ruched Asymmetrical Cami Dress
Size Ordered: Medium
Fit: Okay so I had ordered another form-fitting dress from Shein last year in a medium and barely squeezed into it so I should have known! But I decided to, again, get this form-fitting dress in a size medium (I normally wear a small in dresses!) because I’ve wanted it for a while and, while it does fit, it’s very form-fitting. I still am super happy with it and for only $12, it’s a really attractive dress, but I think I would recommend to size up at least one size with this, if not two. I might order it in a large in another color just so I can report back and let you guys know how that fits!
My Recommendation: Order at least 1 size up!
Flounce Sleeve Plunging Neck Dress
Size Ordered: Medium
Fit: If you watched my stories, you will know I definitely did NOT think this dress would be this plunging, haha. I love the look and the color of it, but I think I would probably be more apt to wear it safety pinned shut a little bit like in the left picture! I still think it looks so pretty and I wouldn’t be so nervous about the top coming open. If you plan to wear it like it is however, I still think it looks great! I would just probably recommend some double-sided body tape to make sure it stays in place!
Also, I ordered a medium because I wanted it to be a little longer. It’s a little large around the mid-section, but it’s twisted so it doesn’t look like it’s big or baggy.
My Recommendation: Order your true size for fit purposes, size up one if you want it to be a little longer!
Drop-Shoulder Cable-Knit Sweater Dress
Size Ordered: Small
Fit: I was super happy with this dress!! I thought it was so cute for fall and it can be worn so many different ways. I wanted it to be a little more flattering and form-fitting, so I threw on a belt to accentuate my waist. You can definitely wear it without the belt though and it’s still a cute dress! I purchased a small in this, which is perfect for fit purposes. It’s supposed to be a little oversized so keep that in mind. If you’re on the taller side, I would suggest sizing up so you can have it a little longer, as it is a tad short!
My Recommendation: Order your true size for fit purposes, size up one if you want it to be a little longer!
That’s all I have friends! I hope you guys enjoyed this Shein try on haul, and if you haven’t already, head over to my Instagram Stories to watch the try-on and see how the outfits fit in a “live try-on!” Let me know if you have any questions about sizing or fits! Xx.
