These trousers are AMAZING. The fit of them is fantastic.. However... I did return them.. Why? because of the colour! I think my days of bright colours are over.. for now anyway. I really want them in black instead but i just knew that the yellow just isn't me at the moment.. I know!
The jumpers quality is amazing and I did like it with the skirt, however with jeans and trousers I just didn't love it. The neck line is also a little high for me so instead of struggling styling it with just the right items, I decided to return it and look for something else similar.
The jeans.. I just couldn't get over those stripes so return they went. I'm still dreaming of that perfect fit they had, but I know those stripes would have kept annoying me so
there was no point keeping them.
The shirt.. I just didn't love it enough to warrant keeping it. No real reason why, I just didn't go "wow" and if I don't do that, I don't keep it.
Last the AMAZING skirt, It has taken me forever to find but I am so happy I waiting till I found the perfect fit. Strait up I created 5 outfits with it so I knew it was a keeper. It is now hanging prous in my wardrobe. THE RETURN!
Sorting the return was quite easy, I just followed the steps on the website and booked a return with drop to shop. (you will be directed on the website.)
You can choose to return to the shops if you want but don't know if you have to book that as i haven't tried it,
A few negatives there though. As they didn't have the option to return through the post office, I have a 20 min drive to the nearest place to drop the parcel. I live very rural though but it means I have to plan the return trip.. A little annoying.
Also the return wasn't free! Yes maybe its a luxury to get free return, but I suppose im kind a used to it now from other companies so it did annoy me a little. It cost me €8.90 which is what it would have cost me from the post office id say but its something to be aware about as its quite a chunk of coins on top.
Over all it love this experience. I love the pieces, the quality, the fit and the sizing. River island is a little more expensive yes, some pieces to expensive for what I will pay, but I'm loving now having another place I can shop from.
Hope you enjoyed this little visit, Many thanks for stopping by.
Love and hugs to all
