My first fashion reviews are going to revolve around some online purchases I have made recently. I don't pretend to be an expert on fashion, however, I do enjoy to dress up and make an effort to be presented nicely.
I would like to make a point of mentioning how much I enjoy the online shopping experience. Firstly, when shopping online there often appears to be a wider variety of items to choose from, as some stores simply do not have the physical space to be ranged for every product that the company may actually sell, which obviously doesn't hamper an online store.
Additionally, I found that several of the stores offered special sale prices for shopping online and even offered discounts for becoming a member of their website. Becoming a member also means that you receive regular emails regarding new items, and the weeks sale prices!
The first store that I made purchases from was Connor, a men's clothing store that I have purchased a few items from before, however, this was the first time I have used the online format. I found the website easily navigated and the prices to be very reasonable, which helped make the experience so enjoyable!
Hawkson knit.
The first item that really caught my eye was the "Hawkson knit" in charcoal as it looked like a really warm, thick jacket to wear for winter, but also still looked stylish (I often find that winter jackets look dowdy and boring). My favourite feature of this jacket is the cool checkered lining!
I like to wear this item over a simple tee, coupled with denim skinny jeans for a casual look.
I managed to pick up the "Hawkson knit" on sale for just $49.99, but it usually retails for $99.99. I'm really happy with this item, it looks and feels of a really good quality, it fits well and keeps me really warm, making it perfect for the winter months!
Barnett shoes.
Another item that I immediately loved was the "Barnett shoes". I really liked how these shoes appeared both casual and stylish at the same time, unlike most of the other shoes advertised by Connor which appeared a bit too formal for casual wear. My favourite feature of these shoes is the contrast between the charcoal colour that makes up a bulk of the shoe, and the subtle pink-red trimming around the rim of the sole and the lace holes.
I bought the "Barnett shoes" for $49.99, which I thought was a very reasonable price for such a good quality pair of shoes!
Jethro V-Neck Tee.
The last item that I bought from Connor was the "Jethro V-Neck Tee". I was immediately drawn to the bright colours on this shirt, which contrasts really nicely against the black and white throughout the rest of the tee.
This shirt looks great worn by itself, or underneath a bright collared shirt worn open.
I bought the "Jethro V-Neck Tee" for $29.99, however, it was possible to have the price reduced to $25 if 2 or more were purchased. Unfortunately, I did not find Connor's T-shirt lines particularly appealing and so did not make use of this option.
Overall rating: ★★★★½
I really enjoyed my online shopping experience through Connor's website. The website was not difficult to navigate, as all items were logically broken down into menus and sub-menus, which made searching for different types of clothes easy and efficient. In addition, the items I purchased matched their descriptions perfectly and seem to be of a really good quality as well. Most importantly, the items available from Connor were priced very reasonably, and the sales available made for great value.
The one negative I had during my shopping experience was the lack of variety among Connor's T-shirt line- I found a lot of the tee's to be very plain, with very little variety. This meant I was unable to make use of a special sale price specific to purchasing multiple tees.
