In this video I’m unboxing and trying on a SHEIN haul after not shopping there for a long time—and yes, I’m keeping it real: there are definitely some bangers, but you really have to sift through to find them. I start with accessories like lace knee-high socks and lace tights, and I’m super honest about what feels cute vs. what feels like “too much going on” for my personal style (I’m not a big ruffle/extra flower moment). The white lace tights surprised me though—really cute, and I’m keeping them on hand for future styling videos. Then we get into my favorite part: the cardigan tops I swear by. I show you a short-sleeve version I’ve had for 2–3 years that’s still holding up, and I explain why I don’t buy into the “SHEIN is always bad quality” take—if you take care of your clothes and pay attention to fabric/fit, some pieces last. I compare colors (white vs. that yellow-ish apricot that makes things look old) and share my go-to rule: I usually stick to white, black, or navy because it’s clean, timeless, and matches everything. I also try a two-piece tweed set (cute and work-appropriate, but not a must-have for me—especially with puff sleeves), and I end with espadrille platforms that are exactly the vibe I wanted: cute, comfy, and almost-flat to walk in. Fit note: I have narrow feet, so I’d consider sizing down if you’re like me.
