Review : Blue Star Sweater + Grey Pleated Skirt from Sheinside (ig - @_daisyys)
Hello you fluffy human being .｡;･+ヾ(♥◕ฺ∀◕ฺ)ﾉﾟ:｡･+
Today I will be doing another review for Sheinside. Sheinside is an online store which sells a wide range of different styled clothing items. They also include free shipping world wide for each order you place ~
The item that will be reviewed in this post are the:
Blue Star Sweater (currently on sale, $18.33USD)
Grey Pleated Skirt (out of stock, $18.50USD)
Fluffy fluffy package~ I didn’t receive a [Pay Confirmation] email for this package //whispers// I can’t find it. But anyways, I received an email from Sheinside on December 13th, Saturday, saying that this package was sent off for shipping yayy! This package arrived in New Zealand 5 days later, on December 18th, Thursday, and it was set on its delivery journey on the same day. Unfortunately, like most of my packages, I wasn’t home to sign and receive this package. I finally received this package on December 22nd, Monday!
These items are all individually wrapped in sealed Sheinside plastic bags! These items were a bit Christmassy, in my opinion, for the Christmas season hehe. Starting from the left we have :
Grey High-waisted Pleated Skirt (will be reviewing below)
Red Spaghetti Strap Chiffon Vest
Blue Long Sleeve Star Sweater (will be reviewing below)
Black Elastic Waist Lace Shorts

Blue Star Sweater (currently on sale, $18.33USD)
This is ONE SIZE~
When I first opened the plastic bag of this sweater, a fishy/wet odour drifted out from the package as well; I guess I got more than what I asked for haha~ I guess it may be because of the wet weather we were having during that time. It rained from those two weeks, sighhs. I thought we were about to have a grey Christmas, at least that is one tone closer to a white one.
I really love the soft blue colour of this sweater~ I think it is one of my favourite sweater colours! It is a soft, baby-ish blue or a pale sky blue. This sweater literally reminds me of the sky, the morning sky with stars in this case haha.
As you can see, the knitting is quite tight~ This sweater feels super soft and smooth. It felt like that it had a thin layer of fur on top of the sweater hehe. I really like how the stars are outlined with gold; it gives them a "boost" and brings them out more~
This sweater is quite big, considering that it is an one sized sweater. If you look closely you can tell that the shoulder line (?) is dropping down on my arms haha~ I think this sweater would suit those with a wider shoulder more. I am not sure if you can tell, this sweater is a high-low sweater; meaning that the front part is shorter than the back part.
This sweater is split on both sides~ You could tuck the front part into your bottom with the back part still floating around //reminded me of a tuxedo with those tails hehe// This sweater is not really really thick but it is also not too thin. It is quite heavy too. I think it should protect you guys from the cold winter winds because the knitting is rather tightly packed!

Grey Pleated Skirt (out of stock, $18.50USD)
This is SIZE S ~
This skirt reminded me of those scuba/umbrella skirts~ When I first saw this skirt, I was like ooo this skirt holds its shape so well. I used to draw skirts like this when I was little haha. I really like those folds on the skirt; maybe that's where the umbrella came in.
This skirt has a tag //gasps// It is quite rare to find tags in this store. It says "Mebao, made in korea". Yes it is confirmed, this dress is made in Korean. I was quite happy to see that haha. Unfortunately, the zip seems a bit insecure; I hope I don't break it~ There was also loose threads there and here.
The inside of this skirts looked a bit funny to me. This skirt has quite a thick material, around 2mm to 3mm thick. I think the thickness is what helps the skirt to "stay up". This skirt is made from cotton, it is really smooth and really pleasant to feel hehe.
There are so many folds hehe~ This skirt feels really comfortable around the waist. The inside folds may be a little irritating and annoying whenever it brushes against your thighs. This skirt is a high waisted skirt and I am happy to say that this skirt fits perfectly around above my belly button area. The material of this skirt is a little stretchy too; so don't worry if your tummy builds up after a giant new year's meal!
This skirt flows outwards without you holding on to the sides hehe. Because of the thick material, the skirt naturally "stays up"! This skirt goes down to around the middle of my thighs and yes it is above my knees. Because this skirt is on the thicker side, I would pair it with sweaters or jumpers for the winter/autumn seasons. This skirt should go well with any sort of crop sweater as it is high-waisted!

For some reason, this reminded me of a Christmas tree; I guess this is a pretty festive look~ Of course, you can tuck the sweater in if you prefer that more. I just couldn't handle all the puffs and bluffs when I tucked the sweater in.
This sweater is more of a casual sweater //aren't all sweaters?// you can simply slip on a pair of jeans + a pair of converse and you are good to go. You could wear this to almost anywhere~
This skirt have the potential to be casual and formal. For a casual look, you could wear it with a sweater/hoodie/jumper. For a more formal look, you could wear this with a chiffon blouse + an thick coat/outer to balance the whole outfit out as chiffon blouses may be a little "light" compared to the skirt.

The shipping took only 5 days; it is rather speedy for international free shipping! I feel like that the overall process didn't take that long too. Also, the package was nicely and securely wrapped; every item had their own sealed Sheinside plastic bag for extra protection!

/ 5 wrapped presents
The marketing department of Sheinside placed this order for me ~ They are really wonderful and nice people. They personally emailed me when the package is sent which made me feel really loved as a customer/reviewer/sponsor. They always replied to my queries and questions the next day hehe. Thank you guys so much ~
Comfortableness + Quality :
/ 5 wrapped presents
I surprisingly really like the sweater and I absolutely love the colour of this sweater. I am not a blue person when it comes to clothes but I guess pale blues now make an exception! The sweater is heavier than it looks and it is as comfortable as it looks, may be more. I think the knitting of this sweater is a job well done~ It feels soft and a little fluffy. The colour is also rather similar to the stock photos'.
I really like the way the skirt flares out naturally! Just like the sweater, this skirt feels super soft as it is made from cotton. Cotton is a lovely material don't you think~? It is almost identical to the one shown in the stock photos; it is just the one I received flares out a bit more.
Overall :
/ 5 wrapped presents
