Haul: Chicnova and Taobao
By Herugliness
Hello! ~♥ I mentioned in my last Haul post that I am not done with my hauls for this month, but didn't want to make the last post too long, so here is my second part of my latest haul.
The first item I want to show is a shirt that was sponsored to me by Chicnova. Chicnova offers are great variation in styles, and among these are quite some clothes that go well with Mori Girl outfits. If you aren't into Mori fashion you should still check them out, because they sell very different clothing too. They ship worldwide and offer free shipping.
I was allowed to pick something from their store and decided for this shirt with its pretty lace sleeves. Gray and lace are always two things that go well with any of my outfits. The shirt comes in one size only, but is very wide and semi-fitted, just like I prefer my clothes. Since Mori Girl style is a lot about layering, see-through lace parts in clothings are always something I like, because you get to see more of the other layers of clothing. Since this was my first experience with Chicnova I was not sure what to expect, but the quality of the shirt seems really good.
I bought this headband from Taobao seller ciciwork and it was also my first time ordering from this store. They sell hair accessories only and most of their products are probably suitable for Lolita style, expect a few exceptions like this headband. It was love at first sight, is really well made and comfortable. It is also available in other colors and in a circlet version. I am thinking about buying more colors of this, because it's just lovely.
These stockings were bought from Taobao again, this time for a seller called miaomimi, s store that sells socks and stockings only. This is one of the few items I am not fully satisfied with, because the color is a bit brighter in real than it was on the product photos and therefore hard to match with my usual Mori outfits. There is also an area somewhere at the thigh where the print is missing. Not too drastic for me, as I rarely wear pants or skirts that were so short that you could see it, but I still think it's something that should not happen. Won't buy from this store again, because who knows where the unprinted area is next time.
Last, but not least come these wonderful Mori Girl sandals, which I bought from jfyr on Taobao. Another shop I am buying from for the first time. They sell shoes in all kinds of various styles and quite a few suitable for Mori style. I was worried about buying shoes from a Taobao seller, because I have made some bad experience with shoes from China before, but these are of awesome quality and very comfortable and I don't regret buying them one bit. As usual, Asian shoes come in S/M/L/LL size only. I have European Size 36 (US Size 6, EU Size 3.5) and I bought them in Size M, which fits me just about right. Too bad summer is basically over and I only had the chance to wear them a few times. See you next year, pretty sandals!
As always I am open to Mori Girl shopping recommendations / excited to hear about your experiences with various sellers! ♥
