To anyone who saw my melodramatic post. Sorry about that. People do stupid things when they’re having a panic attack, and are completely consumed by irrational fear. Before I move on, I’d like to address something. If you, for whatever reason don’t like my blog, don’t like me, or anything I type on this piece of internet space that I paid for. By all means, feel free to move on to something that you do like.

Today I’m going to review a few things I recently purchased, for anyone who might possibly be interested. I’m sure by now, a lot of you have heard of Chicwish. It’s an online store based in Hong Kong. They sell up to date, rather trendy clothing at pretty affordable prices. I’d seen Chicwish advertised on a lot of blogs I follow and Lookbook. I have thought for some time, that a few of their pieces are cute, but I was always very skeptical about ordering anything. A lot of their items are only available in one size and most of the people modelling their clothes seemed a lot thinner than me. I decided to take my chances and ordered a few tops and skirts from the store about two weeks ago. You never know unless you try, right?

This is what I ordered. Everything I received, looked how it was pictured on the site, well apart from one thing with the skirts, I’ll get to that in a moment. Even the colours were accurate. For the prices, the quality was decent enough too, definitely wearable. It didn’t feel like anything was about to fall apart. I’d say that the quality is definitely better than the clothing from Forever 21 and perhaps even Urban Outfitters. Most of the items I’ve ever purchased from UO seem like they’re about to fall apart after a few wears.

Another plus was that the shipping was free. I was a little nervous about the items not fitting me. All the shirts looked okay. They did feel a bit tight around the chest area when I was putting them on, but once they were on, they felt fine. Nothing amazing, but good enough to keep and wear. Both the skirts were a different story. They were so much shorter than I thought they would be, and I’m short. I think I’m only just over 5’0. I like wearing skirts on my waist and I couldn’t do that with these, they didn’t cover anything worn that high. It seemed like the only way I could get away with wearing them, was by keeping them at my hips, which I wasn’t prepared to do. I’m going to send both of those back. Another problem with both the skirts is that their waist bands didn’t stretch very far. I don’t think anyone much bigger than me could wear them. According to my doctor, for my height, my BMI is ‘perfect’. So someone like my sister who is a few inches taller than me, couldn’t wear anything from Chicwish. It’s a shame that they don’t have a wider variety with sizes, because my sister would definitely like their style.

The skirts also didn’t puff out as much as I thought they would. I have two of the reversible petticoats from AA, they’re amazing. So I guess my standards for tutu style skirts are pretty damn high now. The customer service at Chicwish is good, they’re very polite and fast to answer, so no issues on that side. Would I order from them again? Probably not. I’m not a huge fan of the general selection of the products they sell, plus I don’t feel like I’d have luck with the sizing very often. On the other hand, If you’re a petite girl and like cute style, I’d definitely recommend Chicwish.
