If you are anything like my mom and I, you constantly find yourself shopping on sketchy websites. Most the time the websites with those weird names are fake and will take your money. Or if they are more "legit" they'll send you clothes but, they will be the cheapest items you've ever seen. If you are anything like me, you hate spending a bunch of money on clothes you can get for cheap. Over the last couple years, I have started purchasing from Shein.com and Amazon.com. Both websites are stocked by Chinese vendors. This means cheap clothes and not always the best quality. The advice I always give is read reviews!!! My rule of thumb is that is the average review is 4/5 stars or more then the items is good to buy. But, even then I read reviews and try to find pictures of real customers in the item. If you follow these two steps you are more likely to get products worth the money and are super cute. But, keep in mind if reviews seem sketchy or the reviewer has a weird name or no name it's fake. These places have people write fake reviews. If an item has plenty of reviews with pictures I would say you are safe to purchase it.

So, without further ado here is a mini haul I did for my weekend trip to New York City.

*All the links will be taking you directly to the item on the store’s website!

Skirt: I bought this skirt from Amazon after seeing another blogger purchase one in another color. Amazon has some good quality items for cheap prices.

- $16.98 comes in multiple patterns

- I got a size medium to ensure the length, it also has a draw string tie.

Shirt: I got this shirt through an influencer program. I had a NYC company reach out to me to be an influencer for them. It ended up not being as good as I had hoped. This top took over 2 months to come in and came from China. It's thin and not good material. But I've decided to work with it and see what I can do.

Shoes: I found these shoes at a local boutique called River Rose. I grab them at 30% off before they sold out. I am totally into the star trend right now and loved how fun these sneakers were. I wanted to bring an easy shoe I could wear every day in New York and drop the weight of multiple pairs of shoes. These are super comfortable and great for walking. I included a better picture of them below with a link to a website that has them.

Shirt: I got this top from Shein for $7. It's good material and hits below the belly button. It is spaghetti strap and the strap untie. It's a good white with black polka dots. It also comes in three other colors. It came in quickly and is definitely a good product for $7!

Jeans: I got these jeans back in the spring from Target. They are a mom jean which basically just means they fit loser and are high waisted. I absolutely love them, and they were only $22.

Belt: I bought my replica Gucci belt a year ago. I didn't order from the link below but, think the link will provide a better one. I accidentally bought a men’s size belt not knowing they made replicas for women. My belt is way too big for me but, I make it work. I love this belt and recommend getting one. Amazon also have replica Tory Burch belts as well. READ REVIEWS!!!

Dress: I bought this dress from Shein. I tried hard to find it on any other website but, couldn't. I really wanted a dress like this that would be perfect for any trip and a great summer piece. It runs big, I am wearing a size small and I should have got a XS. It's super cute with grey stripes and a double V-neck. I chose to wear a white lace bralette with this dress. I also recommend steaming this dress, the material isn't the best for a dress but, it's also not horrible. For $15 I think this dress is worth it!

I hope this helped show you buying off some sketchy websites can truly pay off! You can find great items at a great price that aren't horrible! If you love blog post like this let me know and I will investigate doing them more often! I love buying items from Amazon and typically try to stick to Amazon to purchase clothing.
