Winter Pleats & Braids: Persunmall Review

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.

Picture

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!

A Fire In Her Eyes

Oh no, bros! It was snowing when these photos were taken, so I apologize in advance for the specks of white on my person. Hehe. If I had a nicer camera lens, I could have done some fancy shmancy effects, but oh well.
>_< You'll see later on, but I'm wearing high waist shorts. Shorts in the winter? I know, f*cking crazy, right? Of course, you should know by now that I don't care about such things. I just do whatever I want. ;P Also, these denim bad boys are for sale, so I wanted to show off the fact that they can be styled for year round enjoyment! But first, let's start with what we can actually see, yeah?

On the whole, this outfit is very simple. I've got a patterned sweater tucked into my shorts and over that is a basic, but cozy oversized cardigan. I'm also sporting my new snowflake tights from Chicwish and some other basic accessories. The exciting bits are the splashes of bright color
, textures and seasonal patterns. Oh and did I mention that two of the items I'm wearing are from my XMAS wish lists? Aww, yeah! Someone got lucky this year! Click here and here to see my lists of covetousness.

Also, can I just say that thermals are your friend. Seriously. Hehe. Underneath my sweater, I wore a thermal long sleeved top and then I layered another soft long sleeved top over that. You can't tell, but underneath my tights, I'm wearing thin thermal pants. The temperature was in the 30s also, so I felt great. That's the funny thing about when it snows. It's usually more temperate than when it's not snowing. Oh and that vent behind me was belting out hot steam, which I obviously didn't mind. :D

Picture

The black and white sweater is ModCloth's Black Box Theater Sweater. It's fantastic and I just had to have it as soon as I saw it. It's solid black in the back, by the way. You'll see what I mean in the side shot below. Beautiful design!
The brand of the high waist denim shorts is 2.1 Denim and the size is 24. Much too small for me! The shorts can barely contain my hips. Hence they are for sale! I'm normally a size 27/28 in denim. Ugh. I love these shorts, too. They look so vintage. Click here for measurements!

I'm so happy to finally have an opportunity to wear these tights. I treated myself to them last XMAS. ^_^
The beautiful boots are from ModCloth. I snagged them during their Black Friday Sale
. They're called the Buckle Downtown Bootie in Whiskey on the site and they sold out like hot cakes!
O_o o_O

The spiked handbag is from ModCloth, also. It's called the Bright Companion Bag and it was available for 50% off during ModCloth's Treat Yourself Sale, but I ended up getting it as an XMAS gift from my mom. Thanks, mom! :3 She knows what I likes. <3 I wanted a blue bag forever! Very happy!

I hope you all had a wonderful XMAS! Did you get anything fun?
;D
