This evening my clothes arrived, warped in the pretty, pink
packaging which fills any shopaholic with excitement. What I saw when I opened
it was pure joy, everything looked just how I’d imagined. Off the hanger
anyway. Then it came to trying it all on:
Item one –
The first item I opened was the Camel coloured mini skirt.
Now this skirt I had reservations about from the moment I clicked order but I decided
to keep an open mind. Looking at it, lay out on my bed I fell in love, I decided
I just had to try it on first.
The colour of this skirt is the perfect shade to match with
a casual white top and a pair of brown, heeled boots for an everyday, elegant look.
When I tried it on the fit was perfect, not too tight, not too loose which I was
happy with. At this point I felt highly confident this skirt was a keeper, even
though I’m not much of a skirt wearer. Then I looked in the mirror and my
stomach dropped, the hugged my body in all the wrong places, showed every bump
and lump but worst of all showed my knicker line! Even no VPL’s showed through,
which is not a flattering look for anyone. Sadly this item simply had to go.
Item two –
The second item I tried on was a simple white, V-neck
t-shirt. On the model it looked like the perfect top for comfortable or casual
wear. It looked loose fitting but not baggy, it could be worn with joggers and
slippers around the house or, alternatively with a pair of black jeans, a
leather jacket, choker and a range of shoes.
When I felt the top I instantly noticed the soft feel of the
material. Along with this I noticed the small seam lines which made me think
about the comfort of this top, it wouldn’t cause any skin irritation, which is
great! I then put it on and I have nothing to say but WOW. It’s exactly how I imagined
it, the fit was wonderful and looked exactly how I hoped it was. It is safe to
say this one was a winner. I have it on as I write, I just love it. (Even
though it’s just a plain top.)
Items three & four
After having mixed feelings from the first two items I was
excited to get onto the final two items. Next I tried the high waisted, blue
jeans with distressed detailing. Ideally I wanted to have the short leg jeans
(this is what I ordered) but the regular leg arrived so I gave them a go. They
were a perfect, well almost. The waist fit was just right, the fit around the
legs was comfortable and the rips all fell in the right places. Unfortunately
the leg length was far too long, which was disheartening and a little
confusing, usually I can roll up regular length jeans but these were about 3
inches too long! How tall do you have to be to wear a pair of regular length
jeans from Missguided?
Moving onto my fourth and final item was slightly anti
climatic. These jeans were also way too long but I already guessed they would
be. What I hasn’t guess was the size difference in them. These jeans were
simple, black, high waisted jeans, I had ordered the same size I would always
order, the same size as the previous pair of jeans. The issue was when I put
them on, they were too big! They looked about two sizes too big and fitted
nothing like the jeans I had just tried on. They were baggy and unflattering in
all the places you would hope to accentuate.
It is safe to say I sent both pairs of jeans back.
Even though this order was unsuccessful I will still be
shopping with Miss guided, finding out what bargains I can pick up.
