Taobao Try-On Haul 13

Sunday, March 5, 2017
Probably my most exciting Taobao haul yet because I got some good quality stuff ridiculously cheap??? I posted my haul & the prices on Instastory and like 6 people immediately messaged me to ask where I bought them from HAHAHAHA

Ok so first things first: 
I bought most of these clothes for $1(yes) to $4 from this particular store, which I described to others as a Taobao "Outlet Store". By that I mean they sell DIRT CHEAP clothes of decent - gr9999 quality, but only at limited sizes/quantities (sometimes even 1-2 pieces). I'm not going to provide links because most of these are already sold out LOL. With these type of stores (there are a lot floating around), you really have to be check back for new arrivals constantly and quickly check out your items ASAP.

Another thing to note is that not all the clothes they sell are nice la and usually 85%-95% of the clothes are NOT my style. Hence you really have to sieve through the entire store listing just to find a few good pieces. I just got lucky this time round and managed to find quite a bit, but it's not always the case.

No links... but I will post prices just to show off my finds la HAHAHA (¥5 = approx SGD1)

L: ¥5.94 - omg this suffocates my chest and makes my boobs look flatter than it actually is LOL
R: ¥4.95 - I think the tag on this shirt said Forever 21 hahaha but regardless of brand, it's such a cute shirt and only SGD1 wtf!!! Cheaper than my usual weekly round of laundry ($2) in school wtf T_T

L&R: ¥6.93 - sOoOoOo comfy!!!! The material is very thin but in a good, breathable way... although it kinda tore and has a small hole now after I washed it once LOL

Velvet Top - ¥22, 卡其色, Size M (link here
This is my fault la cause I really don't check measurements*, but PTP is a bit too big, and I shouldn't have sized up because I think it's a naturally oversized shirt already LOL.

*I have the impression that the Taobao shops I frequent (i.e. cheap & wholesale) never has accurate measurements so I never bother checking LOL. Partly also because I'm lucky in the sense that I'm quite petite and can generally rely on Taobao Size S w/o measuring la. I usually only check waist measurements for bottoms and I steer clear away from jeans because my calves can NEVER FIT!!!!! Even when they say it's stretchy, I am very doubttful unless I see actual reviews by other users LOL. (what a long post note about measurements)

Black Halter Bralette - ¥15, Size S (link here
Erm I won't wear this bralette out like that la, but this was the most appropriate shirt I could show it in hahaha. Bralettes have been the trend on Dayre & Shopee so I also want to join (w/ my cheap taobao bralettes) HAHA. But it's seriously damn bloody comfy wtf?????????????? I want more despite knowing that I'm going to get very little use out of it LOL.

Sidenote I also got this very obiang looking safety pants from the same shop (here) but it's RIDICULOUSLY comfy can??? wtf

L&R:¥9.90 - This is a bodysuit thing but the crotch area isn't the most comfortable LOL. Also gotta wear them silicon pasties w/ this so it's not the most practical top... but I love the cutting?? LOL

L&R: Oversized Velvet Shirt - ¥20.99, Free Size (link here
Can't really tell here but the fabric around thecollar is a bit... weird. There are also a lot of loose threads when I first got the shirt, but it's decent for the price and the material feels quite nice.

Sidenote: the shop I bought this from is my favourite Taobao shop (xiaozhainv), and this is probably my 4th time ordering from them!!!

L&R:¥15.84 

UntitledUntitled
L&R:¥16.83 - inside is fuzzy fuzzy one it's so soft!!!

UntitledUntitled
L&R:¥13.86 - Met Mav in this dress and he said "this is the most proper I've seen you since we started dating" HAHAHAHAHAHA. It's really not my style la but it's quite apt for semi-formal events or days where u gotta be prim & proper (e.g. going to your friend's church event and your grandfather's birthday dinner afterwards like I did haha)
