review: sweatshirt from beautiful halo

hello my angels! this time i'm going to review the kindly kitsch & xoxo sweatshirt from beautiful halo.

if you don't know beautiful halo by now, it's a china-based online store that offers a big variety of really fashionable clothing such as dresses and various tops and bottoms of different styles for fair prices.

founded in 2014, the relative new store already provides over 8000 items to choose from and they offer free shipping worldwide for orders over $20, so be sure to check their store out~

i placed my order on december 1st and received a shipping confirmation on december 12th.
the package finally arrived on my doorstep on january 15th

. so the overall process took 40 workdays which is quite long - but considering it was holiday season i guess it's okay.

the items came in the typical dark grey envelope.

the package contained the kindly kitsch & xoxo sweatshirt and the beige waterfall coat which i will talk about in my next review~     

some further information about the sweatshirt:

price: 13,23€ / $15.77

material: cotton blend

size: one size

bust: 130cm

length: 53cm

shoulder: 68cm

sleeve lenght: 44cm

the item came neatly folded in its individual package for extra safety!  




front and back of the sweatshirt;

if you know the korean online shop stylenanda this sweatshirt may be familiar to you~
kindly kitsch & xoxo or kkxx for short is a brand originally founded by stylenanda which means you could say the sweatshirt i got is a dupe version of this hoodie.


a close-up of the tag which was sewn inside;

it says "rafael - made in china" in bright neon letters.
to be honest i'm really happy that you can't see the tag when you wear the sweatshirt because i think it's really ugly lol

here you can see the print which is placed on the left sleeve.

i'm not really sure if it says "xoxo" or "okok" lol

but since the original brand is called kindly kitsch & xoxo i just say it's "xoxo"

i don't really like the placement of the print because it makes the sleeve really stiff and there is always this kinda ugly fold


the printing also had a minor error; i tried making it a bit more clearer where the error was by drawing a circle around it because my camera just didn't want to focus so you can't really see it on the photo.
it's like a small cut in the white part of the print and also some orange stains(?)


another close up of the sleeve~
(i have no idea why the background looks so green and scary omg)

since the sweatshirt is black and somewhat simple you can easily combine it with nearly everything!
i chose to pair it with very dark washed jeans and some sneakers~

shipping & packaging

the shipping took quite long; yes, it was holiday season so i guess it's natural that the shipping takes a bit longer during this time but i still wish that the process would have gone faster considering that i already placed my order on december 1st. however the package arrived in perfect condition with no rips.

customer service

in my opinion beautiful halo's customer service is a+! 

they always reply within one workday and are very friendly and understanding.

this time they even emailed me to check if my package already arrived~

design

i often saw famous ulzzangs like park sora wearing similar sweatshirt on the stylenanda page (since 'kindly kitsch & xoxo' is their brand) and i wanted a piece from their kkxx collection for a long time now so i'm really happy that i found this 'dupe version'!
i love the oversized look and the print~
however, like i said earlier, the print makes the sleeve a bit stiff - that's why i reduced half a star.

quality & comfortableness

except for the small error in the print the quality is rather good! there were no loose threads or bad seams. because of the fact that the inner part is soft and that the sweatshirt is oversized, wearing it feels really nice~ it's so comfy!

overall

i really like this sweater and i'm happy that i got it!  it is totally my style since i'm in love with oversized print sweatshirts~  and even though it's a dupe version of stylenanda's brand, it still feels like i'm wearing an item of their kkxx collection what makes me really happy;A;

thank you so much for reading until the end of this review and also a big thank you for making this possible! ♥

i wish you a nice day and i will see you in the second part of this review~
