Finally~
The final post of last years Taobao hauls.
Somehow I never managed to finish this post as I really wanted to take photos of how the clothes fit and look on me before I left for Taiwan before publishing it...but since I'm already abroad now and didn't bring a lot of those clothes with me (and already ordered more Taobao things while in Taiwan), I shall just share it with you guys now ^^

There's still a few items that I didn't take photos of, and then there's more Taobao things that I got shipped to Taiwan so as soon as I'm back in Germany there'll be more Taobao haul posts :D
Cat Blouse
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17733954092
Price: 68 Yuan ( 8,50€)
Let's start with one of my favourite tops that I got.
This blouse is super cute and the material has really good quality.
It's also very light, which would make it perfect for summer...except for that it's completely see-through, so I always have to wear a shirt underneath. So I'd rather wear it in spring instead, since two layers are usually too warm for summer.
It's also buttoned on the back, which makes it very easy to take off and put it on but, according to my roommate, "looks pretty weird".
Watermelon Skirt
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=12212647822
Price: 59 Yuan ( 7,30€)
I specifically searched for this skirt on Taobao, because I have seen quite a few photos of people wearing it and the idea of a watermelon skirt just seems awesome!
But when i got it, I was really disappointed.
I thought it would be light, chiffon material, but instead it's very thick...
Which also means that it pretty much just hangs down straight on me, not very flattering. It's also quite heavy and not exactly comfortable to wear. I haven't worn it outside once, because I can't find a way to make it look alright..
After washing it once, the red colour also ended up colouring the white part of the skirt.
See that pink stripe? That was white before.
Mint Cat Skirt
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=35633466346
Price: 62 Yuan ( 7,75 €)
I really love the design of this, and the material is super soft as well ^^
There were no loose threads or anything too.
However...
this skirt is really, really short.
If I don't wear short pants underneath it....well, let's just say it would expose a lot.
Purple Skirt
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18463234711
Price: 29,9 Yuan ( 3,75€)
This one's really flowy and soft~
It fits a bit loose on me, and since the skirt length is kind off long (almost down to my knees if i wear it on my hips), I prefer wearing it on my waist but it doesn't really stay in place.
There were also a few stains when it got delivered:
Hamburger Sweater
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=21625851700
Price: 68Yuan (8,5 €)
My favourite piece to wear in autumn~
nothing's more glamorous than a delicious hamburger, right?
The pullover is very comfy, stretchy and keeps you quite warm too ^-^
Mint Bears Pullover
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=27246960590
Price: 82 Yuan (10€)
I ordered this one for winter, and that was the best decision ever.
In fact, I'm wearing this while writing this blog post.
Its.so.cozy.
I love it. The material is super stretchy and quite thick, which makes for an aawesome winter sweater.
All the following clothes are made by one seller called 抱兔子追大奔. Let me tell you, if you're into hip-hop style clothing, you will love this shop. I bought a few things from them, and not only were they all really cheap the quality was great too :D I can only recommend buying from them, some of these items are my absolute favourites ^^
Unicorn Skater Skirt
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37700458342
Price: 29 Yuan ( 3,60€)
This is one of my favourite skirts to wear by now.
It's stretchy and fits perfectly no matter if i wear it on my waist or pull it down to my hips.
It goes down to the middle of my thighs, which is the perfect length for me.
Besides that, isn't the print awesome? Unicorns AND rainbows?
Can't get better than this, right?
Never Coast See-Through Shirt
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37809654888
Price: 19 Yuan ( 2,30€)
This is a simple shirt. I think it's supposed to be a crop top, but it's long enough for me to fully cover my belly. Oops.
Other than that, it's quite nice. The material is soft and it's sewed well, no loose threads or anything.
Snoopy Sweater
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40515494669
Price: 32 Yuan (4€)
This sweater is kind of baggy, and a bit short. I like long sweaters that i can comfortably pull down, but this one ends just about at the belt of my pants.
Other than that, it's alright. Great quality for that price though.
And I love the fact that the printed Snoopy extends over the sweater. It looks really cute with its legs dangling over my pants or skirt.
Garfield Sweater
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40663089721
Price: 30 Yuan (3,75€)
One of my favourites!
I wear it all the time, most often as a pyjama top because it's really comfy~
And I love the length of the sleeves, because I'm one of those people who likes to pull the sleeves down to cover my hands as well.
And don't get me started on the print...all those Garfield faces, aren't they cute?
I especially love the bored looking Garfield!
Galaxy Skirt
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17967817167
Price: 22 Yuan ( 2,75€)
While I love the design of this skirt, with its two different layers, it's not the most comfortable.
The waistband tends to rub and leave imprints on my skin as it's a bit too tight for me.
And the skirt is really short so I always have to wear actual shorts underneath.
It also breaks quite easily, I had to sew part of the upper layer on again twice already.
Mickey Mouse Hands Sweater
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40448244741
Price: 15 yuan ( 1,80€)
Super cheap, and the quality is alright too. It's not the most comfy sweater I own, but I like its length and the design is awesome.
