I am on a
aliexpress.com tear! Why? Because I had such a positive experience with my last few purchases & it doesn't hurt that most of the items on there are affordable. It's a little overwhelming to navigate the site at times. I spent about $200 on there the other night. I need several things for an upcoming fancy/smancy wedding I have to attend out of the country plus clothes for travelling. I am crossing my fingers that 80% of the items work out. Hey I am a realist in knowing some of the items might be a miss. Most importantly I am hoping the dress I ordered for the formal attire wedding night works out because I don't want to spend $100 in a retail store here for the dress.
Anyways, up for review is the following
necklace. I've wanted a statement necklace to wear with button up shirts & also for dressy occasions such as weddings. I've
eyed several similar items in store for much more money. As you can see even at forever 21, similar items were easily ~$20 & that's as cheap as it gets. Cheapo me, not wanting to spend that much on something I wouldn't wear that much except for times when I get dressed up, I always rationalized not purchasing it. Well at $5, I figured I would give it a shot. I wasn't sure the earrings would be included because they were not in all the images. However, I was making the purchase mostly for the necklace so I was OK if the earrings weren't part of the purchase.
The item arrived here in Canada a few weeks after I made the purchase. The earrings were included which were a pleasant surprise. I must the say the item looks identical to the item featured on the site. The quality is pretty awesome as well. It doesn't look plasticky or cheaply made. Since there aren't any specific colors in the necklace I find it goes well with lots of different outfits. I've used it in a super casual outfit with jeans & a tshirt to a work outfit as seen below. Well worth the $5.
