Coat Of Many Colors

12/31/2013

Hey! Happy New Year's Eve! This will be a short post, since you've seen much of what I'm wearing already (and I'm sure you have better things to do on NYE than read a long winded blog post haha).

I just wanted to show off my new multi-color coat from one of my favorite designers out of Australia, Ladakh! It's so amazing, you guys and I feel really lucky to have gotten the coat from my swap group!

The coat was called the "Drum Circle Up Coat" on ModCloth's website and the one I have is a US 4/UK 10/AUS 10. It's a snug fit with a light sweater underneath due to the plush lining, so keep that in mind if you happen to come across this beauty and you want to purchase it! I normally get a medium to a large in coats, because I like to wear thick knits underneath, so I think I would have preferred a US 8.

The yellow bag is ModCloth's "Sand Gestures Bag." I received it earlier this year from my swap group and I use every excuse to wear it. I think it added some nice color contrasts to the outfit. I adore the multi-color strap and I love that it doubles as a backpack. Click here to see how I styled it for summer!

The super cute wolf sweater was designed by Ladakh, also! It's called the "I've Got Your Pack Sweater" on ModCloth and I bought it at a steep discount during one of the annual sales. It's one of my favorite sweaters and I felt like the deep blue would create the perfect backdrop for the colorful coat.

I didn't realize it, but I guess I'm basically wearing head to toe ModCloth. Haha. It's not the first time that has happened, but I guess it's to be expected since I shop there so much. ^_^ Anyway, I hope you all have a spectacular day! Have fun and stay safe! I see a low-key jazz bar in my immediate future. ;P

Winter Pleats & Braids: Persunmall Review

12/29/2013

10 Comments

Making an account with Persunmall is simple and straightforward. You can create your own wish lists (mine is rather extensive hehe) and checking out is very easy, also. One thing you should know is that you cannot use PayPal to make your purchase! I was a little wary of giving out my personal credit card information, but from what I can tell, Persunmall does not store your credit card on their site.

You have to enter the info each time you buy something, but then the info is wiped after you make a purchase. If you've ever bought anything from Cotton On's U.S. on-line store, it's the same way. So, I didn't have a problem with it as I knew what to expect, but I can see how this may be disconcerting to some people, so I wanted to make sure you guys knew about that feature of the check out system. Also, the check out process itself appeared to be secure according to my browser security settings.

The red tulip skirt above was my first purchase from Persunmall. It retails for $30.00 and I found the color to be accurate to the stock photo. It's exactly the color I was looking for. However, the skirt in the stock photo was different from the one I had received. The stock photo showed a longer skirt with pleats, but the skirt I received was much shorter. The stock photo was later updated to what you see above and it is more accurate. I'm not sure why the photos were different, but they are correct now.

Although I wanted a longer red skirt, I found the shorter style to be rather cute. I wish I had gotten a size small, because the medium rests on my hips and it makes the sides protrude a bit more than I'd like. I'm thinking about getting it tailored. The material is sturdy and soft; and the skirt is comfortable to wear. It has been discounted since I purchased it, so now would be a good time to try it, if you like it!

This braided sweater is my second purchase from Persunmall. It retails for $44.00 and I found the item to be true to the stock photo when I received it. I really love the color and design of this sweater. It's thick and very warm. The sweater is currently on sale and it also comes in a burgundy/wine red color.

Each purchase took a couple weeks to arrive and processing time ranged between a few days to a week. Be advised that Persunmall charges for shipping! The rates vary depending on weight, but I've found the rates reasonable. The tulip skirt was $2.00 to ship while the teal sweater cost about $5.00. If you spend over $65.00, shipping is free, though! My items arrived in tear-resistant packaging and were individually wrapped. Overall, I've had pleasant experiences as a customer of Persunmall. ^_^

I know I can be long winded at times, so I did my best to keep this review as short as possible. >_< Old habits die hard. Hehe. If I left something out, or if you have questions about anything, just let me know! I'm happy to field these questions and I've already received a few. I hope you find this review useful!
