3 online stores that deserve​ more love.

Hello beautiful people,

It’s a new week so I hope you are ready to start your new adventures, new possibilities, and new opportunities! I know I am.

Today’s post is about three online stores that I shop some of my pieces from. I’m always being asked where I shop, so I decided to write up a quick post sharing it with you guys. So before I say which three stores I am referring to that deserve more love, I’ll just say that I had my doubts at first too, I thought it was risky, but I love me a good bargain, so I took the risk *Kanye shrugs* haha. Let’s just say, I’m still shopping at these stores so it can’t be all bad right?

The three stores are:

FOREVER 21
BOOHOO
SHEIN

Forever 21
I cannot lie to you guys, I love these online shops. I don’t care what other people think. When I shop, I find things I like and then I just put things together. The looks I create are always amazing and completely just who I AM. I have heard things like forever 21’s clothes look cheap and the fabric is off…YES, this is true. They need to work on that, but I shop forever 21 online (only) and the pieces I buy are of good quality. I actually have a forever 21 credit card, so my online shopping has exceeded 5x more! If you check out some of my previous posts, you’ll see some of the pieces I’ve bought. I’ll let you be the judge.

 

 

Dress & crewneck from forever 21 + Boots from boohoo (mix n match em’)

Boohoo
Boohoo and I started off real shaky. I remember I made an oath to not buy from them, but I had a change of heart when I saw their outfit sets! So the thing about Boohoo.com is that majority of the time they have a 50% off sale going on (you’re welcome), like every single day! I love me a good sale every single day of the week, so they got me there. The thing about shopping sales is that you have to shop smart. For me, I’ve mastered the “buy smart/reasonably and still look like a million bucks!” It is all about YOUR STYLE, it does not matter where you shop.

Girl Gang Tee from boohoo (streetstyle)

Shein
Saved the best for last? Haha. Okay, so I was always skeptical about Shein, but as per usual I decided to try them out anyway. Luckily I loved the items I received. A lot of people I know (including bloggers) thought that Shein was a scam site. I’m here to say they are not! They are legit people. They have great pieces as well. Let me go ahead and show you guys my Shein wishlist right now because I have been on the site for a while trying to decide what I want.

    I used to shop at Forever 21 alllllll the time but then I stopped for some reason. I don’t shop at BooHoo so much but I really should because their prices are incredible! x x

    I love SheIn I’ve just had an order from there and though it took some time to deliver because of stock issues for the prices I can’t complain, had s really cute t-shirt and sweater both good quality & so soft! Then got my son an A4 cat carry folder for his SATS workbooks he’s thrilled with! Great post MJ

    Love your outfit choices. I have to say I was skeptical about Shein, I always see things I want but then I refrain from ordering. It’s good to know that you’ve had success and like them – I’ll have to keep that in mind. Also, I love Boohoo, they really do always have a sale and customer service is super helpful on Twitter.

    I’ve heard of Boohoo but not the other two stores. TBH I tend not to shop online because I like to try things on first but the dresses in SheIn are so pretty, I might have to reconsider now! Thank you for sharing your recommendations, you have excellent taste! x

    Boohoo is my go to store online lol nicely prices and good co ords. I’ve purchased a few jumpsuits from BooHoo that I loved!! And yes the sales! I caught the 80% off they had during black friday, my bank account probably hated me lol.

  12. Angela Avatar

    I love the list that you made! I’ve checked out Shein before and they have some great items there! Love it!

  13. foundationsandfairytales Avatar

    Absolutely love your style! I don’t shop online much anymore because I hate having to wait to see if things fit properly and then the hassle of sending them back but I’ve always loved the stuff from Boohoo they do such great quality pieces for a really good price! There’s a Forever 21 store by me and I can never find anything nice in there although everyone else seems to get some beautiful pieces!

      Yay that’s awesome! There’s no online shops? Shop online girl! Check out shein also. You’ll be surprised 😊

    Love your outfits hun 😍 I find it difficult for forever21 as a larger lady, but haven’t tried the other 2 xx

    1. keepingupwithMJ Avatar

      Yeah they need to cater more to ALL sizes! However, shein and boohoo does I believe. Check them out!

    I do like Boohoo, but I find with Forever 22, it is only really certain things. I haven’t heard of the other brand so I’ll have to check them out!

      Yeah it’s a hit or miss, depending on what you purchase! Shein is really cool, try them out!

  19. glowsteady Avatar

    I love the outfits you’ve out together, especially the ones from Forever 21. I used to shop there a lot and to be honest, they kinda fell off my radar. I’m always so sceptical of sites like Shein! I need to read a million positive reviews before I’m willing to commit. Such amazing deals though, I may have to purchase soon x

      Lol yes I understand. I was like that at first until I took the plunge and realized they’re dope!

    I think shein gets enough love. A lot of bloggers on my feed shops with shein. Forever21 on the other hand, I always browsed their site but never actually checked out anything, the same goes for boohoo.

      Girl, check them out and buy stuff. You’ll be happy once you buy the right things!

    Love the outfits! I completely vouch on Forever 21 because about half of the clothes in my closet are from there! Not only are their clothes super cute, but extremely affordable. I’ve actually heard of Shein from a YouTuber I watch that does her outfit videos from their site. A lot of the clothes look super cute, so it’s great to know that it’s not a scam site. Thanks so much for sharing your outfits and recommendations with us!

    1. keepingupwithMJ Avatar

      My pleasure!! Yes lots of people think it’s a scam but shein is legit lol! Just spreading the word!

  22. Saffron Avatar

    Love this post! I really love your style, and the fact that the items come from decently priced online stores is amazing! I’m not sure if we have Forever 21 online, but now I’m going to have to find out! I’ve always been a big fan of boohoo, I don’t always find clothes that suit my shape but I managed to sort out my graduation outfits from there which was a life saver!

      That’s dope! Glad it worked out💕 yes boohoo is a fav!! Try out shein, they have dope stuff!

    Your style is divine!!! I especially love the outfit from Boohoo.

    1. keepingupwithMJ Avatar

      Thank you girl 💕

  24. Happy Mentality Avatar

    Interesting choices. I’ve only ever used Boohoo but I find them hit and miss sometimes. I totally agree you need to shop smart! Love your outfits! Xx

    1. keepingupwithMJ Avatar

      Yes thank you! I appreciate you stopping by!

  25. Emma McCaw Avatar

    The looks you put together are AMAZING! I love how you’ve taken affordable clothes and made them look sooo much more expensive and high end.

    I could never pull anything like those off, but isn’t it strange that I don’t really know you, but I know that are are so ‘you’?

    Out of the three I’ve only purchased from Boohoo before, but I’ve had mixed experiences with them. I do know Forever 21 and the controversy surrounding Shein, so I’m glad you have good experiences with them! Great post!!

    1. keepingupwithMJ Avatar

      Haha, yes girl. It’s not strange, that’s normal. I love to connect with my readers in this way! I most definitely urge you to try shein. You’ll be surprised! Thanks for stopping by, I have to connect more with you💕

  26. Lena Dee Avatar

    Before I even read this I guessed the shops you meant lol…I completely agree with your pics. I’m a Forever21 and Boohoo baby😍😍 I think people complain too much, if you buy something for $3.60 how do you really expect the product to look? lol It’s all about shopping wisely like you said and know what works for you and not just what’s on the model. I’ve never had a problem with any of the stores, I make sure to read the material of the product before I purchase honestly, like that helps A LOT!

      Exactly, thank you! It’s common sense lol. All depends on if you’re a smart shopper, then you’d get great finds..duh haha

    I’m all about Boohoo, but didn’t have a great experience with Shein in terms of quality – might have to give them the benefit of the doubt now! Great post! ❤️
