\nIt’s been forever since I’ve actually taken time to do an OOTD\/haul post so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and review the most recent shop I’ve purchased from, Forestale<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"image\"<\/div>\n

So a little background info: Forestale is an online store based in the Philippines that caters to the mori girl lifestyle. It’s filled with up-cycled clothes at really, really affordable prices. I found this store through the Ohyeahmorigirl Shoplist<\/a>, and probably wouldn’t have checked it out if it hadn’t been placed under the US shops accidentally (It’s since been fixed). Luckily, they do International Shipping so I didn’t get my hopes up for nothing haha.<\/p>\n

Each article of clothing has its own special name picked out for it, and I wish I had written down the name for this dress I bought, but ahhh little details like that really make me smile. I placed my order on June 10th, and received en e-mail that my items had been shipped June 13th and should expect to come in about two weeks. I received my package on June 26th (almost exactly two weeks). Correspondence was very prompt and friendly. \u2665<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n\"image\"<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

My order came in thick, plastic packaging that I didn’t photograph, so this is the second layer. The wrapping was very beautiful, but delicate — during the overseas trip there was a tear at the corner (as you can see above). However, the items were packaged in a third layer of plastic, to my relief. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n\"image\"<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

I purchased a dress that was priced at $8 (most of the clothes are priced around $6 – $10), and the Day Dream necklace at $4. Because of international shipping, S&H was $12, and the order came to $24. Shipping is individually calculated and sent as a second invoice after you place your order, so I ended up paying more than what I had thought I would, HOWEVER. $24 is a pretty amazing price for such high quality items.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n\"image\"<\/div>\n

The dress is made of printed chiffon with a cream satin lining, gathered very delicately to form an A-line silhouette. The belt used for the photos below are from a different dress that my friend gave me yesterday hahaha (great timing). I was worried about the fit at first because it was a Medium (Asian sizes tend to run a size or two smaller than American sizes) but it was ridiculously perfect. Very lightweight and airy — perfect for summer. \ud83d\ude42 In terms of quality, up-cycled or recycled\/vintage wear tend to exude a “used” feel to it, but this dress smelled and felt brand new. Nothing I needed to stitch up or adjust at all.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of me wearing it, taken today.<\/p>\n

\nAlso, just for fun, I wore my favorite contacts hahaha!<\/div>\n

I’m extremely pleased with this shop, and will definitely be purchasing from them again in the future. They update their store regularly with one-of-a-kind items — which, honestly, is my favorite type of shop.<\/p>\n
