2019 Fashion: SHEIN & Tailor

Okay. So there is this online store called SHEIN and I am pretty obsessed. I'm pretty sure the clothes come from China and so it is really important to read the reviews below each item to see how they fit. Often clothes are too small, shirts not long enough, and skirts too short for a person of my height. I have only ordered one item. Imagine that, its another coat! I've been obsessed with the felt coat look for a few years now. I see people wearing them, but haven't been able to find them anywhere and so I tried SHEIN out and purchased one. Its pretty cute and I'm planning on wearing it Tuesday.

An even BETTER find, so far, has been an app called Tailor. Sign up by clicking HERE and you earn $5.00 of credit free if you put in the referral code: 004NCU

Here is why I like it.
1st... Its meeting my needs much better than everything I've tried before. I've been long on the hunt - years now- to simplify and update my wardrobe. I've tried Thred Up, Stitch Fix, and recently a few other apps I downloaded - all in the hopes to help me better understand my "look" and know how to put outfits together. I've only been using this recently, but I think I found my "go to" winner!

Basically, I downloaded the app, took pictures of several items in my closet, and then asked the consultant to put together an outfit using a shirt I have NEVER word before (because I did not know what to pair it with). Within minutes, the stylist sent me 5 outfit ideas for that shirt using THE CLOTHES I ALREADY HAVE IN MY CLOSET. She did recommend articles of clothing that I could buy, but I am not obligated to. The best part? The app is free!

So now, I am excited to update my outfits by learning how to better mix and match the clothing I already have. (Lets be real - we know I'm still going to be shopping, though.)

In the app, there is a chat room where you and the consultant can talk back and forth. She first determined that I was more interested in finding outfits for work since that is how I wear the majority of my clothes. She then had me rate several outfits. After my ratings and our conversations she classified my style as "classic, chic work looks that seamlessly transition to after work/ evening outfits". She threw in a little of street style for me (which I'm also drawn to) without going overboard.
So far, its been a huge win. Check it out if you are interested!
