White Pants You’ll Want to Grab!

I have searched, and bought and returned and stalked influencers to find the perfectpair of white pants. I did not want skinny white jeans as I have those already, but I wanted a wide leg and high waist. Finally, I settled on these, Wild Fable brand, from Target and I absolutely love them. They can be styled with tanks, blouses, tees, and even cute chunky sweaters in the fall. The hole placement can be a little odd for some, but for me it was fine. I actually purchased 2 pair. I cut about 2.5 inches off of one pair to give them more of a cropped look and left the others their regular length. For reference I’m 5’3.

8 Best SHEIN Buys for Summer 2021

Erica Suckow8 Best SHEIN Buys for Summer 2021Updated: Apr 16"I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post. I am careful to only recommend products I truly love."If you have heard about the fashion retailer SHEIN you may have a few questions. It almost seems too good to be true. This company is known as a fast fashion retailer which doesn't always boast the best quality clothing and traditionally has poor working environments for its employees. For a more in depth look into SHEIN's relationship with customers and bloggers, check out Lindsey from Have Clothes, Will Travel's honest SHEIN review. With that being said, I've made it my mission to never count anyone or anything out without trying it first, so I ordered a few pieces for Summer 2021. I bought all of the pieces with my midsize body (I am a size 12) in mind. All of these pieces can be bought in a large variety of sizes to fit all body types.Everything that I bought was under $20 and I did my best to pair a few different outfits together. Keep reading for my honest opinion on this company's clothing. 1. Black and White Confetti Print Skirt- LargeThe first piece of clothing I tried on was a black ruffle skirt. I have been dying to get my hands on a few of these but I have really struggled to find one that was long enough that I felt comfortable wearing to work as well. This skirt's pattern is so cute and it has great length. The elastic waist band was comfortable on my waist and I felt like I had plenty of room to move. I ordered a size large and I think that it definitely fit true to size. It had tons of movement and had a lot of length. It wasn't see-through at all and I was impressed by the quality of the material the skirt. I paid $8.56 for the skirt.
