Okay, so everyone was talking about that Skims and Swarovski team-up. I kept seeing it pop up everywhere online, all shiny and tempting.
Getting Curious
Honestly, at first, I wasn’t sure. Skims is usually about that comfy, kinda minimalist vibe, right? Then you throw Swarovski crystals into the mix. Seemed like an odd pair, but hey, shiny things catch my eye. So, I went online to check it out properly when it dropped. Had to see what the fuss was all about.
Scrolling through the collection, yeah, some pieces were pretty wild. Like, crystal body jewelry and stuff. Not really my everyday thing. But then I saw some of the simpler items, like the bodysuits and tees, just with that touch of crystal. That felt a bit more doable, you know? Still kinda pricey, though. Swarovski doesn’t come cheap, and adding the Skims name definitely didn’t help the price tag.
Making the Move
I debated for a bit. Is it worth it? Is it just hype? But that little sparkly logo kept calling to me. I figured, okay, let’s just go for one piece. Something I might actually wear more than once. I settled on one of the cotton pieces – felt like a safer bet than the full-on mesh crystal nets.
The actual buying part wasn’t too bad. Expected the site to crash or everything to sell out in seconds, like sometimes happens with these hyped drops. But it was surprisingly smooth. Found my size, added to cart, checked out. Felt that little rush of “Okay, I did it!” mixed with “Hope this wasn’t a dumb purchase.”
The Arrival and First Look
Waiting for the package felt like ages, as always. When it finally arrived, the packaging was nice, gotta give them that. Felt a bit more special than the usual Skims stuff.
Unboxing it, the first thing was obviously checking out the crystals. They were definitely sparkly. Looked pretty well attached too, which was a relief. Nobody wants crystals shedding everywhere after one wear. The fabric felt like typical Skims cotton, soft and stretchy.
- The Sparkle: Yep, it’s definitely got that Swarovski shine. Catches the light nicely.
- The Feel: Standard Skims quality, which is generally pretty decent and comfy.
- The Fit: Tried it on, and the fit was good, consistent with other Skims items I own.
Wearing It Out
So, the real test is wearing it. I decided to wear the top for a dinner out with friends. Nothing too fancy, but wanted to feel a little extra. It definitely got noticed – the sparkle is subtle from afar but catches attention up close. Felt good, comfy enough to wear for several hours.
Washing it was the next hurdle. The instructions said hand wash, cold water. Makes sense with the crystals. I was super careful, treated it like a delicate little treasure. So far, so good. All crystals still intact. Not sure how it’ll hold up long-term after multiple washes, but the first one went okay.
Final Thoughts
Overall? It was an interesting experience. Jumping on a hype train, spending a bit more than usual for that little bit of sparkle. Is it a revolutionary piece of clothing? Nah. It’s a comfy basic with some shiny bits added. But sometimes, that’s kind of fun, right?
It’s definitely more of a statement piece than regular Skims. Good for when you want that comfort but also a little bit of “look at me” factor. Was it worth the price? Still debating that one in my head. But am I mad I bought it? Nope. It’s a cool, sparkly addition to my closet, and the process from seeing it online to actually wearing it out was kinda fun to go through.
