a DIY necklace and a dresslink dress (outfit post) / ogrlica koju sam napravila i haljina s dresslink stranice (odjevna objava)

When Dresslink offered me to pick something from their site, without much thinking I've decided to opt for a dress. It is Summer, the temperatures are high and I wanted something I can be comfortable in. While I was browsing their site, this dress caught my eye. You know how much I love prints. For a while now, I wanted to get something with a cherry print but I just didn't find anything right. This dress meet all my requirements. The cut of this dress feels vintage and I really like the mermaid bottom and the puffed up sleeves. The dress itself is very modest and lady like, so it's a great option to wear to work or somewhere formal. I've decided to style it with vintage looking shoes because that seemed right, but you'll have the opportunity to see it styled again, because I'm not the type to wear something only once. You might have noticed that I wear all my clothes often.

 I told you before that I don't have much experience with internet shopping. Previously, I only ordered books via internet. However, I found shopping at Dresslink to be quite easy. I looked at the measurement table and concluded that I'm an Asian L size ( European M) so I ordered this dress in that size. There were slight problems in communication, as their English is not perfect, but on overall I'm satisfied with the communication with their staff. I suppose an average consumer just has to make a few clicks, but when you are a blogger you need to exchange more emails. Some bloggers expressed a preference to being addressed by their name, but for me that is not really a factor. I just checked my email (in case anyone is interested) and saw that I was addressed only as Dear Blogger but as I said, I'm not complaining about it. Anyhow, not long after I ordered it, the dress arrived. It looked exactly as it did on the photo and it fit me perfectly. As soon as the order was placed, I received an email with the shipping number but I didn't feel the need to check where my package is at so I didn't actually use it so I can't tell you whether it works.

The material of the dress is listed on the site as  'cotton blend'. It does feel a bit rough on the skin. The label says material is 65% polyester and 35% cotton and it feels that way. For a dress that is priced under 10 dollars, what is one to expect? Certainly not silk. One advantage of this material is that you don't have to iron it. I did, but there were no wrinkles on it when the dress arrived. I think this dress is wonderful option for those on a budget or looking for a cheap dress. If you have unlimited budget, you probably won't browse this site anyway. My experience was good, I really can't complain. When I feel the urge to shop (that doesn't happen very often), I will revisit this site. I received a lot of compliments and I can say that on overall I'm happy with this dress. What do you think? Do you like this dress on me?

Napisati ću malo kraću verziju na hrvatskom, ali mislim da neću ništa izostaviti. Naručila sam ovu haljinu s Dresslinka i mogu reći da sam zadovoljna. Materijal je malo grub, mješavina poliestera (65%) i pamuka (35%), ali taj je podatak  i na stranici ( i na etiketi), a i za haljinu koja košta manje od deset dolara ne treba ni očekivati da je od svile. Komunikacija s osobljem ove stranice je bila u redu, njihov engleski nije na naprednoj razini, ali čim smo dogovorili narudžbu dobila sam broj pošiljke kojim se može pratiti gdje je paket, za koji doduše ne znam je li doista radi jer ga nisam provjeravala. Haljina je stigla relativno brzo i u odličnom stanju. Prednost ovog materijala je da se ne mora peglati, a nedostatak je kao što sam rekla što je malo grub na koži, ali ništa posebno. Većina odjeće koja se prodaje kod nas u dućanima nije sto posto pamuk i isto je iz Kine kao i ova haljina, uz razliku što je skuplja.  Kroj haljine mi se jako sviđa, mislim da je prikladna za svakve prigode jer nije vrlo otvorena, a opet je jako ženstvena. Kada bi se bude kupovalo nešto, svratiti ću do ove stranice jer mi se ne čini loša i kao što sam rekla, iskustvo mi je dosta pozitivno. Ja se trudim kupovati hrvatske proizvode kada god mogu, ali nije loše imati u vidu i ovu jeftiniju opciju. Dobila sam puno komplimenata i mogu reći da sam poprilično zadovoljna ovom haljinom. Što se vama čini, sviđa li vam se ova haljina na meni?
