Staging A Bracelet

Its been earrings for all this time and now is the turn for a bracelet to take the stage and get some light. So here is one of the bracelet I own and I repeat wearing it very often. It has an antique look to it and is classy enough to wear it with my work outfit. I usually pair it with a pearl chain necklace when I wear a dark outfit. It balances out the whole look beautifully. 


I have a story to share with this one. So I have this habit of going through blog sites which will eventually take me to some e-shopping sites. These sites can be a dud or even a gold mine at times. This bracelet was such  a find from a site called http://www.wholesale-dress.net/. I am sure that many of you would have already known about this site because I see a lot of reviews in various social medias about this site. (Yeah !! I do my research before I do an online purchase. One thing every online shopper must do !!) I heard some good reviews as well as bad. Not new for an online site and I also see that they have been shipping their products from 3 locations: China, Japan, US. Now that's convenient for me when they say that they have a US stock. The other important factor that I have to.. have to.. say is, it took me forever to come up with a final list of products that I wanted to purchase. The site has a huge collection and the price was also very reasonable. So it is easy to get lost on the humongous stock they have. That happened to me. I was piling and piling up my cart with so many items that when I went to check out it was like the biggest shopping I've ever done. Finally my sane mind started to speak so I had to filter my cart twice after that to come to a final list with 11 items in it. One con is, the site charges a huge amount for shipping. Since I shipped it to US, I went for US stock hence reducing the shipping cost considerably. I got 11 items for $22.78 including shipping costs. So the average cost of an item comes to $2.07.
Other thing to consider before placing an order in this site is, the pictures that are posted are for reference purpose only. You may see a little bit of difference when you actually see the product. Most of the products had this statement attached to it when I read through the description of the products. So one has to consider all the risks before placing an order. This is very very important to avoid wasting your money on some random e-shopping sites. Most of the products I bought were accessories and other stuffs. They have a huge collection of clothing as well. It was decent enough but I was not completely convinced to buy them. So just to test I included a blouse in my order. My intuition was right about the dress. The material of the dress I bought looked completely different from what I saw in the picture. I didn't like the blouse at all. Apart from that one product, my overall purchase experience was good. As far as this bracelet, I am very very happy for buying it not just because I like it a lot but also for the price that I paid. I am always a show off when it comes to the question, Guess how much I paid for it? :) See you all pretty soon.
