I had an exam this morning so i look like poop! so don't mind my hello kitty face. >.<
well, here's the taobao haul i said i'd write, the prices i didn't estimate final cost by shipping, i just did it as overal cost to dollar. So i calculated the total cost in RMB then divided it by the total cost in CAD and went from there.
Anyhoo, here we go!
Size: M (they didn't have small)
Cost: $49 RMB + etc --> $15 CAD

i forgot to take a picture of me without the belt but it was unflattering and shapeless. the belt was a random one i bought from either HK or china. i was thinking of either giving the dress to my mom or saving it for when i'm pregnant in five years since it was SO SHAPELESS. Anyhoo, a couple of loose threads here and there but no big deal. A cute dress for summer.

I already showed you this one but bear with me. This is a floral chiffon dress with a frontal zipper. the dress even has two pockets in the front. I love this dress but i have an issue with the knot at the back was tied weird and when you look at the dress from the front it's a bit poofed on the side. sorry i don't have a better picture. Still, me likey.
Next are 3 items that i made into an outfit.
Size: M
Cost: $59 RMB + etc --> $19 CAD

The shirt is a see-through blue mandarin collared shirt. there's a longer piece of fabric in the sleeve that can button half way up the sleeve to make it a 3/4 sleeve shirt. The arms are a bit tight and i don't think it was really worth $19 so marks deducted.
Size: L (i'm a pear!)
Cost: $53 + etc --> $16 CAD

These are a great pair of black shorts made from a nice heavy material. There's black chiffon draped in the front to make it look kind of like a skirt. i guess you could call it a skort. The zippered pockets are for decoration, they're not actually pockets and the shorts zipper at the side. Quality's great so perfect points!
Size: 37 (i'm a 6-7 in US sizing)
Cost: $78 + etc --> $24 CAD

To pull the outfit together i got a pair of off-white wedges with chains. I don't know why but when i received them there were stupid dots on the front. It's hard to get my feet in and it's a bit tight around the ankles once it's zipped up. my toes are non existent but i think if i got a 36 they wouldn't fit. Points off for that but regardless, the shoes are adorable and i don't regret buying them.

This next skirt is one of my favourites out of the whole haul. It's an asymmetrical galaxy skirt which is just love love. the edges of the skirt are frayed, like they're not hemmed so there's a ton of loose threads which is why i deducted .2 of a point but i guess that's what makes it loose and flowy. I can't wait for summer to start so i could wear it.
Size: One size
Cost: $32 RMB + etc --> $11 CAD

This next dress is a bit short and being a pear makes it even shorter. I think the top is too low and my bra frequently peeks out but it was pretty good considering it was only $11 Canadian including shipping. It's kind of a classy clubbing dress? haha. The skirt part's nice and soft but the sleeves are a little..uglyish. i'll have to wear tights underneath.
Size: L (i think there's also M and S but I don't trust asian jacket sizing haha.)
Cost: $53RMB + etc --> $16 CAD
Rating: 5/5!
Last but not least, my absolute favourite item was this blazer. its made of a heavy kind of jersey knit material and the quality's really great for $16 dollars. I've wanted a blazer for a while and have one i bought from zara for $90 that i've only worn twice but i already see myself wearing this one a lot more since it's more suited for casual wear. LOVE IT!!
