Hello my lovelies, Everything5pounds.com
I finally got around to ordering some goodies from everything5pounds.com. They are a web based shop. They sell mostly clothing and shoes but also have accessories and homewares.
I chose 2 tops, a dress and a pair of ridiculously high heels that I will never be able to walk in but hey they looked pretty.
I like the option to login with your Social Media Accounts. Saves from having to remember another login.
I found the website easy enough to navigate, they had different sections for categories and even had a plus size section. You can click to choose size, colours and type of product you want to search for which i found helpful. It meant you werent looking at items that didnt come in your size.
Ordering was easy enough and I liked that you can pay with Paypal. I much prefer to order things when I can pay using my paypal account. I purchased in the early hours of 30 August and my order was dispatched the following day and arrived on Monday. May not have been the quickest delivery but I cannot complain as I paid for 2nd class delivery and it arrived in under a week.
I clicked on the plus size section and spent a lot of time choosing the items, I wanted to buy some clothes that would work for Autumn time. So I was very excited to see what all the items looked like that I had purchased.
When the package arrived I nearly tore right in to it. I was pleased to see that each item was in each their own packaging inside.
So my first item was a dress. The material felt decent, for only being £5 it felt better quality than I expected. I chose a size 18 but sadly it was like a tent on me. I am quite big chested so generally with dresses and tops I need to go bigger. I was gutted that the dress was so large. Length wise it was lovely. I really liked the pattern. I plan to exchange this for a smaller size as I think with black tights and a pair of ankle boots this will be a gorgeous outfit.
The next item I opened was a top, it was a denim effect print with a lace back. I was really excited for this one as it looked so pretty on the website. I wasnt so fussed on it when i opened it. The denim print wasnt good quality, there was patches that were white as the detail hadnt been printed on to it. After trying it on I realised the size I had chosen was an 18-20 so it was absolutely massive on me. I dont know what I was thinking there I thought 16-18 or 18 was the sizes I had chosen.
The next top I opened was one I wouldnt normally have chosen for myself but I decided why not just go for it. This top had open sleeves. I was pleasantly surprised. The pattern and style was lovely. This was sized 16-18 and was a really good fit. Thankfully because so far this was my favourite item. It really changed my mind as to what I thought of the open shoulder style. I saw a dress similar, think I might purchase it now that I know I like the style.
I also purchased a pair of Jeans which had some embellishments on them. To be honest when I saw the front of them I was not so keen anymore. It was a wee bit much. So I wasn't too annoyed when the 14-16 was too big on me. It was surprising that the size was too big as most of my clothes are this size. I found the quality very good, stitching was all perfect. I couldnt fault them at all, except size wise.
My final item was one I was excited to see the quality of. It was a pair of platform stilletos. They had three colours to choose from, I chose Khaki as it is a colour I don't really have in my shoe collection. So on opening the box my first impression was shock as they shoes came in their own wee dust bags and also had spare studs for the heels. I was really pleased to see this. Considering the shoes were actually £2.50 not £5, I was shocked at how good they looked. However on closer inspection the sole on the right shoe was coming away from the heel and didnt actually cover right down the heel. I wasnt too bothered about it coming away as it would be easy to glue it but the difference in each shoe was quite noticable. When I tried them on I was gutted because they were so tight I couldn't keep them on. They were more like a size 4 or 4 1/2 than a 5. I have let other people who have slightly smaller feet than mine try them and they agreed that they were not a true size 5. So my advice to anyone would be to choose one size up from what you think. Unfortunately for me the size 6 is now out of stock, so I can't exchange them, I can change them for black so I might do that.
My final thoughts on this website is that for the price point the clothing is of decent quality. A few flaws here and there but overall most items felt like good quality. I would definitely purchase more items and think that the website is fantastic for people who are shopping on a budget. I know I cannot always spend a fortune and so a website like this could be really good for me. Especially as they have ocassion wear too. I think my favourite thing about this website will be the shoe section, being able to get shoes for £5 is fantastic, especially if I am buying them for a particular event and potentially not going to get anymore wear out of them. I saw some gorgeous shoes, I have added so many to my wish list already.
I definitely recommend you check out their website you will be glad you did!!
Thank you guys for reading my blog. I hope you found my review informative and worth reading. I will be doing a full review of the website once I purchase another haul so that I can talk about other items from different categories on their website. If you can think of any other sites like this that I should try, please feel free to share them with me. I am always looking for more bargains for my viewers.
Thanks again for reading, see you all soon. xxxxxx
