Another culotte jumpsuit outfit…  safe to say I’ve been living in this style!  The wide-leg pants let me keep cool even in the 100-degree temps we’ve been having and I love that I can dress it up with heels or down with sandals.  Add a cardigan for the office or wear it as-is on the weekend.  It would also be a great option to take along with you if you’re going on vacation!  This particular jumpsuit is also ideal for petites as the pant length hits me perfectly just right above the ankles with no hemming needed!  The waist is nicely tapered and has enough structure to suck me in while the back has smocking that allows it to stretch and stay put.

This particular jumpsuit is from Romwe and you’ve no doubt noticed that I find a lot of my pieces from Asian retailers like Romwe and SheIn.  I find the styles to run on the smaller side and therefore are a great option for petites!  Their styles are more on the trendy side and I often think of it as the online version of Forever 21.  I’ve been shopping Asian retailers personally for years (paying with my own money) and wanted to share a few insights for your SheIn shopping:

• READ REVIEWS / SEE IT WORN ON OTHERS

  It’s always helpful to see the actual item on someone other than the model, just so you can see more details regarding fit, style, and quality.  Oftentimes there is a customer gallery available and if you’re unsure of an item, go for those where you can see how it looks / fits on others.  For me as a blogger, I actually try to provide this as a service whenever I’m picking pieces and try to choose pieces that don’t have uploads yet — hopefully this will help you get a better sense of what you’re buying and anything to watch out for!

  

  on SheIn’s website, look for items with a star that indicate there are reviews available

• CHECK MEASUREMENTS

  Sizing does typically run smaller on these websites so be sure you check the sizing chart and know your measurements.  The smaller sizing can be great for petites who have trouble with larger vanity sizing but it may also mean that you may want to size up if you’re in-between.

• PAY WITH PAYPAL

  I find it safer to check out with Paypal when it’s an option and avoid giving out my credit card information so I don’t worry about that information being compromised.  I’m probably just a bit more on the paranoid side when it comes to personal information (it’s what I get for working in the finance industry!).

• SPURGE FOR EXPEDITED SHIPPING

  Because items are being shipping overseas, transit times take a bit longer.  SheIn shopping has actually been really great lately and my pieces have arrived in about a week but with Romwe, I usually expect about a 2-week delay with Standard Shipping.  Given that prices are much more affordable at these Asian websites, I recommend splurging a little extra and getting the expedited shipping.
