Taking a quick pause from branding and events to tap into my second love: fashion.
A lot of times, we see an outfit online, love how it looks on the model, and immediately want to purchase it. But when it arrives? It looks nothing like the photo.
A few things can be true. Your body shape may be different, so the outfit won’t fit the same. The cut may be off. The fabric may be cheaper than expected. Or the photo may have been edited to make the item look better than it really is.
This happens a lot with sites like Shein and Temu. And honestly, many of these designs are inspired by, or taken from, smaller independent designers.
My advice? Always read the reviews, especially the ones with photos. They will tell you what the fabric really looks like, how the item is cut, and whether people actually received what was advertised.
Because let’s be honest, how many people really know what viscose, rayon, or polyurethane feels like until the outfit shows up looking like a Halloween costume?
Photoshop, filters, and now AI can sell a dream real quick. Shop wisely.
