Please don’t shop there. If you’re looking for affordable workwear, recommend checking out ThredUp and Poshmark for higher end brands at discounted prices instead. Workwear is a category that you want to invest in long lasting pieces anyway

Mm. I have like two dresses from there I bought as an intern (2018). Still wear them to work now. Get compliments sometimes too, oddly enough.
Just dress it up with something not cheap looking= balance.

Curious why Shein sucks? I’ve never shopped there but have heard good things

Suggest researching it online (there’s been a lot of backlash against the company lately) but some key points:
- Cheap, extremely low quality fast fashion that falls apart after a couple wears
- Terrible environmental impact
- Unethical labor practices
- Toxic chemicals found in their materials
- Ripping off designs from other designers
- Encouragement of extreme overconsumption via influencer “haul videos”
