Summer Clothing Try-on Haul
Hello and happy August! As we are in the full swing of Summer, I wanted to haul some of the new clothing and accessory pieces I bought recently. I'm not going to show everything I bought, just the most Summery and most worn items so far, and review them.
As always I try to include links for available items. Unfortunately, some items aren't available anymore or don't have a link so I'm hoping the pictures of the try-on will still serve as great inspo for Summer looks. Note that some links and widgets include affiliate links which this blog receives a very small commission from. These brands are not paying me to post specific products, these are just the items I bought with my own money. This is an especially unique haul because this is my first time purchasing clothing from Shein.com. And if you are not familiar with Shein, it is a very affordable fashion website that has all the latest trends and styles to choose from.
First look is this blue ribbed and cropped long sleeve from Shein. I saw someone wearing this style and color of shirt last Summer and I've been trying to find something similar ever since. I like that this is a very lite material top even though it is long sleeved. If you buy it from Shein know that it is only one size and it is quite snug. It does have a little stretch but I think it would be most comfortable for sizes XS-M. I paired it with a gray Dennis uniform pleated skirt that I thrifted a while back.
This high neck strapped sundress from Old Navy just screams Summer. I can't believe how similar it looks to a Brandy Melville type dress but it comes in way more patterns and inclusive sizes. I said what I said. You might not be able to tell from the pictures, but this is in a linen and rayon blend material with a slight ruching at the back and adjustable straps.
Next, are my two most worn items from this haul. This yellow lettuce edge bralette from Tillys and these amazing distressed wide leg jeans from Shein. And if you are interested, I already posted about the jeans in this post. I love these two items because they are just so comfortable. I thoroughly dislike uncomfortable clothing, as you can probably tell by now. But overall these two work very well as another Summer casual fit. To complete this vibe, I also bought this H&M fitted blazer to create a "cool girl" look. You know which one I'm talking about. It's the style of every off-duty super model pictured by the paparazzi, it's the look that every minimalist Insta-baddie is rocking right now, and last but not least it's what every effortlessly chic Tumblr style icon has down to a 'T.' If you didn't already know, patterned and solid colored structured blazers are making a come back. Look out for them in the upcoming Fall season.
So, I ended up buying two pairs of distressed jeans from Shein. This pair is also high waisted but it has a mom jean fit (instead of wide leg) and is slightly bleached. Also, just by feeling it, this pair is more like a natural denim texture and weight unlike the other pair which are a much lighter and softer jegging material. I paired this jean with a white eyelet crop top that I already had from Forever 21. Shameless plug, I'm actually selling this white top on my Depop. It's in great condition and it still has its tag. The straps just don't fit me right so I am selling it at a discounted price, feel free to check it out.
Below are some of the items so far with similar looks to checkout as well:
Now, I am going to be talking about the swimsuits I also bought. Because, what is Summer without swimsuits. Even if I am no where near water, I will sometimes wear a bikini top just because it will absorb sweat and it's less material on my body. I wore this red strappy-back one piece from Shein to the beach weeks ago. I honestly didn't know what to expect from Shein swimwear and from my experience now I think it's a toss-up. This one was very high cut on the legs and had a cheeky fit on me. It was a bit out of my comfort zone but I think it's because I naturally have a larger bottom half and should have sized up for this. It is still a beautiful shade of red and I was able to get a nice beach pic out of it. I paired the red suit with a pair of black cutoff jeans from Old Navy from a few Summers back.
I got another red toned swimsuit from Shein. This one came in a set of three including bikini top, bottom, and sheer side skirt. It was a pretty good deal. Again, I liked this bikini set like the one piece, but this one fit me way better. I would say just size up on Shein one piece swimwear. Instead of wearing the full set, I decided to include this black swim skirt from Old Navy which I think would have suited me better for all the water activity I was doing on my last beach trip. Old Navy swimwear is always great quality and the basic styles come in handy. I also bought a pink three piece bikini set from Shein but like I said, their swimwear is a toss-up. After one wash the bikini top started pilling. What sucks is that nothing else from my Shein purchases looked different from the first wash except that pink bikini top. I know I'll still wear it eventually and I get what I paid for (which is not very much) but I thought I would mention this because this is an honest review of my first time purchasing from Shein. Also, wash your clothes when you get them from there, they have a "I've been sealed in plastic" smell when you first get it. While you're at it, wash your hands because, you know, we're in a pandemic.
Last look is this tan multi function one piece swimsuit from a Black owned swimwear brand called Matte Collection. You should check them out! I thought the color matched my Old Navy utility skirt so well. This monochromatic look definitely gives me picnic vibes if I included a nice pair of tan sandals to go with it. As for accessories, all the glasses are from Shein as well and I bought the bag from another Black owned brand, Caribbean Cowgirl.
Below are links to the rest of the haul plus similar items:
And that's pretty much my Summer haul. It was just enough to get a few nice looks out of. Hope you enjoyed!
