SHEIN Curve Outfit Review: Fashion That Makes Me Feel Fabulous

*There may be affiliate links in this post.

 Hello my friends, I have found some really cute clothes on SHEIN.  The end of last year, I started losing weight.  My closet is full of beautiful clothes, but I noticed that some of them were getting too big for me.  So I got on the SHEIN website and started looking around for some dresses, skirts, and tops.  There was a great selection. 

 The first items that I ordered were two tops, and they were stylish, but they were gapping where the buttons were.  So I had to return them.  I looked on SHEIN and I saw some cute dresses.  I was afraid of getting them because I thought the print wouldn't look nice on me.  But boy, was I wrong. 

 These dresses have great coverage.  Lately, I have been very fond of dressing modestly.  From time to time you may see me wearing a V-neck top, but I want to be stylish while still covering up.  

This dress that you see is nice and flowy, but still beautiful.  It is long, but it isn't dragging the ground.  I will replace some of my knee-length skirts with longer ones.  This will make me feel more comfortable without worrying about constantly crossing my legs.  

Back to the shirts that I returned; I found a bigger size and the shirts look cute with my skirts and my pants.  SHEIN is so affordable, and it is a great way to update your wardrobe.  In the video, you can see how comfortable I look and feel in this dress.   I'll be getting my new wardrobe from SHEIN as I shed more pounds. 

If you like this dress, you can see it and some others on my LTK post.  You can also check out my LTK storefront to see my other fashion looks.

Why I Still Believe in Buying Sustainable Pre-Owned Clothing: Saving Money While Supporting Sustainable Fashion

This post contains affiliate links from LTK.  Should a purchase occur, I may earn a small commission.

I have been shopping at thrift stores and consignment shops for a very long time.  First, it was a necessity because of financial constraints.  I was raising my child, so I had to make those dollars stretch.   My mom also used to take us thrifting, but at the time, the clothing was just not appealing.  It was sometimes embarrassing because the clothes looked old.

I would visit different thrift stores and I noticed that some shops didn't have nice clothing because the workers were taking the best clothes and leaving the ugly clothes on the rack.  Finally, I found some different thrift stores, and the clothes were nice, affordable, and looked new.  Searching for tops, skirts, and dresses became an obsession for me. 

As I wore my clothes, I would receive so many compliments. It was fun curating my style.  Never did I feel like I had to look like anyone else.  Thrifting allowed me to save money, but I never felt deprived of the shopping experience. Building an enormous wardrobe was so easy.  I wouldn't be able to afford some of these items in the department store.  A lot of these fashions have lasted me over ten or almost twenty years, and they still look new. 

Right now I still thrift because it keeps clothing from ending up in the landfills and even though I can afford to buy new clothes, I still think that it still make a lot of sense to buy clothing that is attractive but to save money for a rainy day. Even if you are a person who likes to switch out your clothes constantly, you can still do that by buying pre owned clothing.

Honest Koala Eco Hand Wash & Body Lotion Review: Clean, Non-Toxic Skincare Worth the Hype?

 

Shop My affiliate links are included in this post.  If a purchase is made, I will receive a small commission. My perspective on these products is as follows.  These products were given to me for a review.  

I received the Koala Eco Hand Wash Refill and the Koala Hand and Body Lotion.  This was my first time hearing about these products.  I love trying new products.  They are eco-friendly so that is definitely a plus. 

Is Koala Eco good for sensitive skin?

These products have essential oils, soothing to the skin,  and pH balanced.  My skin is so dry because I have eczema,  so I was happy to try a product that didn't have a lot of chemicals that would irritate my skin.   I love trying plant- based skincare.

After using the handwash, my hands stayed pretty soft and the lotion was so soothing to my skin.  The handwash is in a nice size bottle.  It is 33.8 fl.oz.  The hand and body lotion is in a smaller bottle, 16.9 fl. oz. but it is so thick and rich. 

There was definitely a noticeable difference when I applied it to my arms.  My skin felt moisturized, not greasy.

You can see me try out these products in my review video below.

Timeless Fashion Staple: Why Every Woman Needs a Versatile Black Dress

I have been doing social media for a long time. I started on YouTube in 2012.  My love for testing new products and sharing the products that I love to use quickly became my niche on YouTube, even when I wasn't aware that I even had a niche. 

The Home Shopping Network was a constant fixture in my viewing habits during my childhood.  Becoming a Home Shopping Network host was a fantasy, but launching my YouTube channel revealed my ability to share beloved products with an audience that shared my interests.

If a piece of clothing suits me, the cost is less important because of my love for fashion. My wardrobe is full of colorful items, yet I frequently wear black dresses and slacks.  Black clothes offer great versatility.  I typically purchase classic black dresses that are versatile for any season, allowing me to accessorize with either a vibrant necklace or understated jewelry.

The dress that I have on in this post, I have had it for quite some time, but I can always make it look like a fresh new piece because of its versatility.  I never thought that I would be a fashion influencer, but I am, and I am really enjoying this journey.  Sharing my fashion brings me so much joy.  

I regularly share my outfit of the day on YouTube and also on ShopMy.  There are my pics of the dresses and jewelry inspiration that I have for this black dress.  You can wear this black dress for work but also for special occasions by switching out the jewelry.  You can even add a jacket to this dress for a totally different look. 

Let me know what jewelry pieces you would wear with this dress.
