Whenever cold season arrives, it is inevitable: the number of my outfit posts goes down and my blog gets filled with a rainbow of many other topics. One of them is definitely shopping. I've mentioned before, that I am currently on a tight budget, so it basically means one of the two things: ebay or cheap online stores. You might wonder why I am not considering OFFline shopping - well, here in Belarus, it sucks. Too expensive, too outdated, and no variety at all.
I've crossed ebay out for now. I did find a lot of great deals and great styles there in the past, but recently, whatever I buy, just goes in the trash. Even new thing arrive with moth holes, bad smell and hidden defects. For now, I decided just to stop shopping on ebay for clothes.
So, I was left with the other option: cheap online stores. I used to be against shopping there at first. I mostly came across these terrible wholesale web-sites selling fakes.
But I know many people who are happily shopping at those stores without any fakes involved. And I've recently discovered this store - cndirect and decided to give it a try!
My first goal were handbags. The thing with hanbags is that I am not ready to splurge on anything too expensive, because I never like anything!I keep buying them and not liking them in the end. Thats why I was so excited to explore the cheaper options. Below are the ones that caught my eye.
Сегодня давайте поговорим о покупках! А именно - о бюджетном шоппинге, потому что лично для меня сейчас это очень актуально.
Когда не можешь себе позволить пойти в любимый фирменный магазин типа J Crew или Free People, остается 2 варианта: или ebay, или дешевые онлайн-магазины. Что касается ebay, в нем я сильно разочаровалась, т.к. приходит оттуда все в ужасном состоянии, с неприятным запахом, дефектами и прочими расстройствами. Поэтому остается второй вариант: дешевые магазины, например cndirect.
Первой моей целью были сумки. Если, честно, к огромным тратам и "инвестициям" в сумки я не готова. Во-первых, еще ничего мне не понравилось настолько, чтобы так тратиться, а во-вторых - считаю это безумием. Сколько я не покупала дорогие фирменные сумки, они мне очень быстро перестают нравиться. Вот почему мне стало интересно исследовать ассортимент сумок подешевле.
This bag is the most amazing everyday tote that is really large, stylish and neutral:
Вот эта сумка - отличный вариант на каждый день: этакий стильный "баул". Она в меру скромная, простая, и поэтому - универсальная. Оба цвета мне безумно нравится, так и не определилась, какой больше;).
And the next one was love at first sight for me, actually. It is available in black and white, and being totally impractical when it comes to fashion, I chose the white one;):
А вот этот экземпляр - вообще любовь с первого взгляда.
And how about a great outfit idea? That's another thing that made like this particular online stor even more:
Besides, I've been really obsessed with this new backpack trend recently, and this is what I love:
Ну и как же пройти мимо столь стремительно вернувшихся в моду рюкзаков:
I personally picked this blue one to match my new coat:
Лично я выбрала для себя синий, под новое пальто;)
And finally, how can I shop for a handbag without spotting something crazy, girly and original?! I personally love all these colors:
Ну и как же я могу пройти мимо сумасшедшего, оригинального и стильного, как, например, это:
Now let's move to clothing. My most needed closet update right now are tops. Right now, I just need some long tops or tunics to wear with my skinny pants and leggings. This are some of my picks:
This one is an always-trendy stripe top:
Теперь перейдем к одежде. Лично для моего гардероба сейчас самое актуально - это топы, а именно, длинные туники, чтобы носить с узкими брюками и джинсами.
Вот, например, всегда актуальный топ в полоску:
Also love this one - such a classic in the coolest color ever:
Очень понравилась эта рубашка - великолепный фасон и мой любимый цвет!
This one with leopard inserts is a genius piece - can be dressed up an down:
Еще не смогла пройти мимо вот такого свитшота - его с успехом можно надеть как на выход, так и дома!
I've always wanted a tulle skirt and this one looks amazing:
Теперь перейдем к юбкам. Давно хочу себе тюлевую пышную юбку, например, такую:
Also love this maxi one:
И еще очень понравилась вот такая макси:
I am always in search for homewear, and this looks like what I need - comfortable but stylish:
Ну и напоследок - никогда не могу пройти мимо домашней одежды. Заинтересовал вот такой костюм: и удобно, и стильно!
Budget-friendly shopping is always a good idea! Baci,

Nice post. I decided a while ago not to shop from "bad" brands anymore so for me this shop is not intersting. I will continue to become better and better in second hand shopping which I still find difficult (I decided to either buy from sustainable, organic brands or second hand and since organic brands are expensive, I try to buy more second hand) but I am getting better with every month ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend : )

I'm the same way, I don't like to spend much money on bags because I end up damaging them anyway:)....it is different with shoes because we walk in them so it makes sense to invest into quality ones (but I must admit I also buy those that are bad for our feet).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love your selection of handbags, especially those two first models. so far, I had really good experience with this site. All the items always arrived in good condition and individually packed, so I think they're a pretty good budget friendly option.
I also really like that tulle skirt.
