God damn targeted instagram ads. I’ve found some jumpers/tshirts that I now desperately want but the store looks low key dodgy and the prices are deceptive because they’re in American $$.
But Urgh. Look at these.

Good photos, but if the shop seems dodgy I'd be really sus about how will the collar and cuffs hold up after a few washes. For those prices, even on sale, I'd rather buy from a trusted brand, but I get that they're tempting; that Pemberley one does look good...
The thing that gets me is that the reviews are obviously fake. They’re like ‘this is the BEST SWEATSHIRT I OWN. So BIG and FLUFFY and COSY. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BUY THIS SWEATSHIRT!!!!!’… but it’s the review for a tshirt.
I think it’s one of those ones that will COME but they’ll take 6 months to ship here and be average quality and then customer service won’t respond to your emails. I’ve been stung by a few of those websites before, which is what makes me wary.
Consider it an invitation from the universe to check out last minute deals at good brands you know? Maybe reverse search the image and find the originals of whatever it's knocking off? 😃
