When shopping at Romwe, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the selection of pieces that they offer. With literally hundreds of pages of merchandise it's easy to get lost in all of it. I shopped by clicking through lookbooks and clicking page-by-page in specific categories since I had an idea of what I wanted.


White V-Neck Chiffon Blouse // Original Price $12.17
While I love the look of this top from afar, close up the buttons were loose and the hems were unfinished, with threads hanging everywhere. The collar also was asymmetrical and didn't lay flat — even after ironing.

Brown Suede Mid-Heeled Boots // Original Price $40.00
These booties were extremely cute but extremely small! I ordered the shoes according to my correct European size, and the boots were very narrow and ill-fitting.



Red Plaid Dress // Original Price $14.99
I loved the look of this dress online but was shocked to see how short it was when I tried it on, I opted to wear it as an oversized shirt instead. The fabric was lighter than a flannel and I found that the plaid pattern was different than pictured, but it was well-made.

Grey Short Sleeve T-Shirt // Original Price $7.99
As a devoted Queen Bey fan, I had to get this shirt. The fabric is thicker than I expected, extremely soft and can be dressed up or down.

Brown Suede Mid-Heeled Boots // Original Price $40.00



Black Lace Hollow Hem Top // Original Price $12.50
I loved the detailing on the hem of this shirt and while the finishing was fantastic, the fabric felt very thin and even though I ordered my correct size using their size chart the top was still small and constricting.



Black Lace Hollow Hem Top // Original Price $12.50

Elastic Waist Pleated Skirt // Original Price $14.00
I love oxblood, especially for the fall! So when I saw this faux leather skirt I knew I had to have it. When it arrived however, the skirt (which is available in a one size fits all option) was a different color, extremely lengthy and felt more like a naugahyde or vinyl material. The skirt also didn't hold shape and was unflattering.




Navy Half Sleeve Pockets Dress // Original Price $12.99
This piece I was most excited for, and most disappointed by. I loved the look of this when I saw it online, but when I slipped on the shift dress I was unimpressed. The material is extremely thin, the dress has no shape to it, the fit was very tight on my torso and the dress was way too short.


While it seems like shopping heaven, I was extremely disappointed when I received my order. To begin with, the jewelry that I had ordered was left out and my several emails to customer service were ignored. Also many of the pieces were ill-fitting, made with cheap materials and had a vague resemblance to the images portrayed online.

For first-time customers Romwe offers 60% off and free shipping — and though Romwe's orders may take up to 4 weeks to ship from their Hong Kong location, my order arrived in 15 days. I also saved a total of $61.47! The original cost of my order was $153.26 and I ended up paying just $92.21.

That being said, you get what you pay for. The deals and promos seem unbelievable because they are. I would much rather spend a little more to get great looks and stay on top of trends by shopping at stores like Target or H&M.
