New In: Sheinside Clothing

When the online clothing store, Sheinside, contacted me to try out some of their pieces i jumped at the opportunity. After hearing about Sheinside on many fashion blogs, i was really excited to give it a try for myself. As i browsed their website i found many pieces which i really liked, mostly embellished with sequins or studs, and with New Years Eve just around the corner, it couldn't have been at a better time.

Black Embroidery Rhinestone Mini Skirt £16.61 Size Medium

The first item which caught my eye, is this beautiful embellished mini skirt that instantly reminded me of something i had spotted in Zara before. I loved the eye-catching pearl embellishment, and thought it would look great paired with a simple silk shirt, tights and heels. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived as i didn't know what to expect in terms of the quality. However, the material was very nice- thick and sturdy- and the embellishment was very intricate. Unfortunately, some of the beads along the hem of the skirt had fallen off, so i don't think it's the sort of skirt that you would want to wear a lot. As a one-off party piece, such as for New Years Eve, it would be perfect. However, i don't think it's durable for frequent visits to the washing machine. Although, as it is such a party piece, its unlikely to be worn so often anyway. In terms of sizing, i ordered a medium which fit perfectly and would be suitable for a UK 10. 

Black Chiffon Shirt with Gold Sequinned Collar £27.68 One Size

The next piece which i chose to review, was this gold sequinned collar blouse. I thought it would look great paired with my black skater skirt over the festive/party period, or with a classic pair of black jeans. Once again, the quality was good- not amazing, but good- and the sequins seem very durable as they're sewn into a mesh fabric. This was one size fits all, but i think it would be suitable for anyone between a UK 8-10. 

Overall, whilst the quality isn't amazing, for the price it's certainly very good. For £16, i think that the skirt is great quality, especially as very similar styles can be found in Zara this season for around £70-80! I would recommend Sheinside for affordable yet good quality pieces, that are ideal for one off events or particular fashion trends. I wouldn't buy any classic investment pieces, but for one-off trendy pieces it's ideal. I'm looking forward to wearing the skirt on New Years Eve! They also ship worldwide, for free, which is amazing, and the website is updated with over 500 new arrivals per day.
