10 Times Shein Kept Me Cute And Stylish With Their Affordable Fashion Finds

1. Birthday Swag

For my 38th birthday, I decided to wear this 2-piece set from Shein. Because khaki clothing is known to be casual, I was drawn to the sexiness of this ensemble. I’d spend an arm and a leg on a birthday outfit years prior. This year, I was able to pull my entire look together for less than $40.

Matching Set Price: $19

2. Tiny Black Bikini

In 2021, I purchased over 20 swimsuits from Shein. If I wasn’t taking a solo trip to hang out on the beach, I traveled to other states where the weather was warmer, and bikinis were the uniform. And with the prices ranging from $10-$15, it was easy to stock up on their trendy swimwear.

During a trip to Miami, I purchased a black V neck underwire bikini and partnered it with a custom robe from Aud Culture.

3. Matchy Matchy

I’m a sucker for a matching set. This floral number was one of my favorites because it is flattering and forgiving. It’s made from a soft, stretchy material that hugs your curves in all the right places.

4. Wedding Vibes

Last summer I headed to Jamaica for my cousin’s nuptials. Because it was an island wedding, I opted for a soft, tropical look. When I first saw the Map Print Split Thigh Pleated Skirt, I knew I had to get it. I just purchased teal sandals from Asos and the color matched perfectly. I paired the look with the Tie Back Twist Crop Halter Top.

Crop Top price: $8, now $3

Skirt price: $25, now $15

5. Blazer Chic

Shein’s Notched Collar Belted Blazer Dress is likely the most expensive item I’ve purchased from the website. That said, the black mini blazer dress was worth the $29 splurge. FYI – the earrings and glasses are also by the brand. I’ve stocked up on so many trendy accessories, all for less than $6!

Dress price: $29

6. Marsha B

What I love most about Shein is their unique designs. I fell in love with this infrared thermal bodysuit. I partnered it with a velvet skirt with a slit up the thigh.

7. Puffy sleeves and tribal prints

The Graphic Print Square Neck Gigot Sleeve Top caught my eye because of the fun print. This cropped blouse came with a matching skirt, but I decided to execute the look with solid colored pants. I was worried I wouldn’t find the exact hue, but Shein literally has one of everything. A few weeks after I purchased the top, I found a pair of slacks that matched perfectly.

Price of Crop Top: $20, now $12

Price of Pants: $12

8. Just because purchases

Sometimes, as I scroll on Shein, I add things to my cart because why not? When I saw the Mock Neck Striped Pattern Crop Sweater & Knit Skirt, I added it to my shopping cart for no other reason than it is a cute, affordable piece that deserved space in my closet. 5-7 shipping days later, it appeared in a magical garment bag.

Price of matching set: $27

If lingerie is your thing, you’ll want to tap into Shein. In 2021, I did my first lingerie shoot, and I relied on the retailer for a few sexy, modest pieces. I was able to purchase three well-made sets for $30.
