**My Latest Haul: Affordable Fashion from Forever 21 and Shein**

I recently got my hands on some amazing deals from both Forever 21 and Shein, two of my favorite online shopping destinations for affordable fashion. In this article, I'll share with you all the goodies I picked up from these stores, including a few pieces that caught my eye.

First up, let's talk about the blouse I recently purchased from Forever 21. It was a medium size and only cost $19.20, which is an absolute steal considering the quality and style of the garment. The shirt itself was blush in color, which I absolutely love, and it paired perfectly with my jeans and boots. I was also pleased to find that the dress had a deep V-neck, which will look great under cardigans or jackets.

One of the things I love about shopping from Forever 21 is their affordable prices, but one thing they often get wrong is taking care of their clothes after you buy them. As someone who's guilty of over-drying my clothes in the past, I've learned a valuable tip: when it comes to delicate items like tops and dresses from these stores, it's best to wash them in delicates mode and then hang them up to air dry or throw them in the dryer with no heat to fluff out wrinkles. This will help prevent shrinkage and keep your clothes looking their best.

Speaking of affordable fashion, I also recently hauled some goodies from Shein. As a huge fan of this store, I always make sure to shop here whenever I need new clothing items for myself or as gifts for friends. One of the things I love about shopping on Shein is that they have such an extensive range of styles and sizes available, making it easy to find something that suits your taste and budget.

One of the pieces I picked up from Shein was a super cute top with a very short length, which I immediately thought would be perfect for my daughter. While it's not exactly my style (I tend to stick to solid colors and sparkly jewelry), I knew she would love it and I was happy to oblige. The back of the shirt had a clever crisscross design that added an extra layer of interest, and I loved that it came with long sleeves for colder days.

Of course, one of the best things about shopping from Shein is their amazing prices - everything is so affordable, which makes it easy to try out new styles and trends without breaking the bank. And let me tell you, this latest haul was no exception. For just $12.90, I got a beautiful dress that's perfect for summer vacation or any special occasion.

The final piece of clothing from my haul was a stunning maxi dress from Forever 21. As soon as I saw it in the store, I knew I had to have it - the blush color is so soft and feminine, and the deep V-neck adds an extra layer of sophistication. The best part? It's super comfortable and will look amazing paired with sandals or wedges for a chic summer look.

**Tips from My Haul**

One thing that struck me about my latest haul was how easy it was to style all these pieces together - regardless of the color or pattern, I knew they would work well with my existing wardrobe. Of course, this is because I tend to stick to solid colors and patterns like stripes, but I think this could be an issue for many shoppers.

Overall, I'm so happy with how my latest haul turned out. From affordable dresses to cute tops and comfortable maxis, there's something on offer here for everyone. And the best part? Everything is so affordable, making it easy to stock up without breaking the bank.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enright now my daughter is out gallivanting around town now that she has her license which means I'm going to be a ball of worry and anxiety from here on out it is kind of like a humid hot rainy day today in Dallas yesterday was like 20° tomorrow it's going to be like 17 you know it's like 70 today 20 tomorrow that's just how it is so the point is I'm in a hat although I'm in a hat half the time so you're not surprised but I'm doing you all a favor today because otherwise this would just be a frizzy mess so I want to show you guys kind of this project that I'm working on and I have some like fun little hauls so I thought I would share it with you and yeah so let's get started so this project that I'm working on is I'm kind of taking little rooms throughout my house and making updates to them I feel like some of the decor I have I've outgrown and I am going to take you guys on that process with me so this first project that I'm working on is my daughter's bathroom I have Christmas with the cranks on so maybe I need to turn that down a little bit huh I thought it would just be fun for you guys to have like a movie on in the background plus this is my reading room which I just did for pla week so I love it it's so cozy um yeah so I'm going to be updating my daughter's bathroom the decor she has in there now she's had for like two years now and I decided I wanted to change it so I am going to share with you guys the curtain the shower curtain that I got for it so the shower curtain is from Urban Outfitters I was just kind of on there to see you know if I could find like some sort of outfit for her but I didn't find anything and I saw this gorgeous shower curtain it's very Bohemian boho chic and that's very her she has a very laidback hippie sort of vibe to her and I thought this was just so beautiful and her bathroom right now is like a mint green I just don't really like it anymore so I got the shower curtain here is the end I know it's kind of hard to see but I am going to be doing a like quick video on how I updated it and I think the shower curtain was like 40 bucks so that's a lot for me cuz usually I'll like head to Bed Bath and Beyond or something and get like a $20 shower curtain so this is a lot for what I'm used to buying but I'm also going to be doing an update to my bedroom an update to my bathroom so lots of fun videos coming for 2017 so that is the shower curtain and I decided to pick um because it is a like cream color I wanted to go with like Golds and and I thought it would be really complimentary to her TV room which I just updated that isn't going to be updated at all we're keeping that room until she high tails it off to college in 2 years so I just thought that I wanted to bring that Chic gold into her bathroom as well then I went to the Home Goods store which is like TJ Maxx or R Ross or whatever and I found this beautiful soap pump and I love like the bronzy gold detail so I am going to be putting soap in here and then cleaning it in case you know soap is like a different color so it was $12.99 that's a lot for me too I don't know I guess I'm just a cheapo but I thought this was really really beautiful so this is kind of like the vibe I'm going towards then I went to Tuesday Morning this morning and I found this really cute puzzle um it's fruit it's very like Farmhouse and I love that and I love that it's only 550 pieces sometimes the Thousand is so it's too much and it's offputting and somehow someway one piece goes missing so I want to try 550 and see if it's enough to be challenging for me but yeah I'm going to wrap this and put this under the tree for myself here is an up close look of the picture then I found these adorable like present Toppers I've never seen anything like it they were $149 for two of them and it's this little piece right here so here it is back here it's those little accordion that you fold over you get two of them and that's what it looks like how adorable is that and their little setup is very cute too the Brown Bag the green paper so you could pick that up at the Dollar Tree and you have yourself a little present and you have a second one all what is this oh my gosh this mug I've never seen anything like it it's hard to you know so this mug I finally took a little tag off it was $4.99 and it's a letter this is a letter handle and they had other ones too they had s and rs and T's and so adorable I've never seen anything like it is that not amazing I love that I will tell you I have a lot of mugs so it's going to get cutthoat today when I have to get rid of one to keep this one that's how bad it is all right in this big bag I it's a blanket you know for all of those of you for all of those of you oh boy oh boy okay for those of you who watch me quite often you know the blanket obsession is thick I did a blanket collection video on my Vlog by the way so if you're interested in that it's on my crafty girl Vlogs I'll link that Channel Down Below but I saw this blanket so I'm going to be doing minor updates to my daughter's bedroom I'm not actually going to show that video so I'll go Ahad kind of verbally tell you what I plan on doing just because I keep my daughter's room off the internet I doesn't need to be on there she's a teenager she has pictures of her friends I'm not about to post that on the internet at all so her room has a gray and mint color to it and I want to update the gray that's in her room so I want to do something very Pottery Barn with like quilts and stuff and then I saw this gorgeous blanket that has these huge little um fun what do you call these pom poms right yeah so gorgeous and what surprised me the most was the price on this which was $14.99 so at Tuesday morning they have this in cream and they also have this in the most beautiful blushy purple color I really don't know what color to describe it I wanted it but I don't have that color anywhere in my house but but I thought the gray was stunning it feels like B I love it all right so in this bag let see also from Tuesday morning I found this beautiful cake stand it's rimmed and lined with this like faux gold or whatever and on the bottom as well and I love that it looks like brush Strokes so it's not like completely solid so it's so beautiful and this is going to go in her bathroom so it's going to go on one side and then she can put all her little products on top of it so yeah just to kind of give you visual we're kind of going in the cream gold route all right so the last bag is my Forever 21 bag I just kind of thought I'd throw it in here I'm not actually going to do a try on um in this video although I know how fun those are I know I love watching try on hes so so the whole point is this was like a spontaneous purchase wasn't even planning on doing this but my daughter's iPhone that we just got came with like a camera defect so I was at Apple in the mall and while I was waiting for my appointment I went into Forever 21 and then this happened so the first thing I spotted were these jeans and I really like them they're for me so I I do like the little ripped holes they're not too big um they're not like like big so you can actually see skin skin but this should like cover up most of my skin so I just and I love the color I don't actually have a pair of jeans in this color here's why I have a bad habit with jeans I have jeans in that closet that I've had for years and the reason why is because I won't allow myself to buy jeans because I feel heavier than I want to be heavier than I used to be so I keep thinking well I'm not going to buy jeans it'll be a waste to buy them in that size when I'm just going to get back to my old size and then I never do and then here I am all this time without any really good jeans because it's like this mental game in my head that I don't want to go out and buy bigger jeans so um so I told myself you know what just buy yourself a nice pair I mean these are I wouldn't call these nice but buy yourself a pair of jeans that you like and yeah so and what I love about them is that they have this little cut at the bottom and so they're made to hit your ankle which I love those because those look really cute with kids it's very mommyish and I kind of like that so um it's very casual too so you can roll these up and yeah so I really like the bottoms they're a lowrise ankle fit and this is a size 30 I guess it's like European size so I honestly don't know what European size I am I think I'm probably a 29 but hopefully the 30s fit really nicely okay this next top I had to get for myself because I thought that the blush color was gorgeous and I love the little sporty Vibe of the stripes I thought it was really really really pretty and it looks really comfortable and I love I guess I am a very casual plane I don't typically wear too many patterns I like to wear solids and I'll add like you know sparkly jewelry but I don't know I guess it's just my style it is a medium and it was 19 20 bucks and then look look at this color combo this blush with this color Jean love it and I'm telling you I didn't even know I was going to do this but almost everything in here is like this blush color so here's the next top and it's a very crappy it's very short it's not for me because I'm just don't have the body for this but this is for my daughter I thought it was really cute the back is this crisscross so and I don't know if she'll like this I don't know if this will be too too short I don't know if she has anything that's like highwaisted enough to cover up most of her stomach so we'll see but I did love that it's long sleeves I love the color and it was $12.90 That's What I Love About Forever 21 is the price and on that note I typically mention this in almost every haul that's clothing related but places like shien and places like Forever 21 try not to dry your items in the dryer cuz you're just going to ruin it you're going to shrink it because these clothes are just cheap they're cheaply made so you want to wash them in delicates and then hang them up to dry and then when they're about 98% dry um throw them in the dryer with no heat to kind of fluff it out and get any like wrinkles out so that's my tip on how to take care of your clothes from Forever 21 and Sheen Sheen's my favorite so I just did a haul I'm still waiting on my package I cannot wait for that dress I ordered so I'll link that video down below if you want to see what I did I did like a video where I did like shop online with me and you got to see all the things that I ordered from Sheen all right moving on I got another top similar it's black and black is always a problem on my camera it makes the colors of everything else look really weird see it's just weird okay so it's just it's a little bit longer so it definitely will go well with regular jeans and high-waisted jeans it is a deep v-neck which will be really cute because she has like all those um like lacy halter top thingies that can go under there and it's long sleeves so I will be wrapping these up and putting them under the tri's presents the very last item is this stunning maxi dress and I got it for myself and again with that blush color has more like of a pinky beige um and you won't even be able to see it in the whole frame so I will have to put this on so you can see the beauty of this dress but okay so this is the front and the back has the little this is the back right here the back is also the same deep V so it's kind of equal but the back just has the little line and then as you move the dress up it gets there's lace and then there's this lace at the bottom and soft and silky and instantly when I got thought got this dress I thought of um our summer vacation in Destin and how light and Airy and beautiful this is this will be and I'm thinking that this is going to be our family photo color too I wanted to go khaki but I'm thinking um like this like blush color will be beautiful against the the ocean and the sky so yeah so if my family's watching this this is the color we're wearing this year that is everything that I got so hope you enjoyed this video I can't wait to share with you the update to her bathroom and then I'm going to do a small update to my kitchen it's not going to really be a big deal it'll probably be like a very short video so then I'm going to be doing my kitchen my bedroom my bathroom and I'm going to be doing an update to my living room and I think that will be about it I may do an update my backyard as well so that is all coming in early 2017 so thank you so much for watching this video I'll link my Vlog down below if you want to go check out that
