I recently signed on to be part of the Oasap Fashion Hunter program. I thought it would be great to add a little “fashion” to Shibley Smiles. I will admit as much as I LOVE to shop my wardrobe is in need of a fashion make over. I have nothing “cute” or “fashion savvy”. I’m more of a basics type of person, not my choice but by habit.
With no expectations in mind I jumped right in and started browsing the Oasap website to pick out something cute to review. I spent a lot of time browsing the many pages and styles. Unfortunately there were a few things that I really wanted that just didn’t come in my size or they were out of stock.
I finally decided on a one size fits all dress and a pair of Elegant Floral sunglasses. Lets start with the sunglasses. The coloring selections were a little confusing but it turned out purple (which is what I chose) ended up being the pair I was trying to select. The problem was the black pair looked purple to me and the purple looked pink.
I have enjoyed the sunglasses they are stylish and fit well. They could block the sun out just a little bit more at times but over all I like the glasses and they have become my main pair. (I currently have three pairs, and lose them often).
My second selection was the Sleeveless Pleated Bound Waist Ankle length dress. The dress was one size fits all so I was a little skeptical if it was going to fit. It turns out fitting me wasn’t the most pressing issue I would have to deal with. It actually fit me pretty well and I added a belt to it to cinch it a little further under my bust and it seemed to look cute….only one problem.
It is completely see through. Maybe I should have realized it since the material is chiffon however I’m not much of a “fashion” type person and have no idea if there are different weights of chiffon. The photo on the website did not give any indication that the fabric was completely see through.
I was very disappointed because I thought the dress was cute and it would be great to wear out in the summer heat here in South Florida. I thought it would be the perfect way to dress up without really “dressing up”. Light and fun and perfect for an outside get together. It was so see through that I couldn’t even post a photo of me trying it on. I guess I could use it as a swimsuit cover up but that was not my intentions.
Overall my experience is 50/50. It took me some time to find clothing or shoes that I felt would be a good fit and often when I did find them they were not available in my size.
Since placing this order I have seen a number of cute items that may be something more suited for me. If you are interested in becoming an Oasap Fashion Hunter you can apply here: Oasap Fashion Hunter.

Crystal @ Simply Being Mommy says
The sunglasses are cute and I love that dress. Too bad it’s see-through.
Colleen says
Thanks I use the sunglasses often. I do like the looks of them.
Nichol says
The dress is cute, can you buy a black full cover slip to wear under it? I really like those sunglasses!
Colleen says
I may do it down the line, but I definitely didn’t want to run out and do it to post the review. If it was just thicker it would be great.
Tammy says
Great glasses.
HilLesha says
Love everything!
Donna says
Love the glasses and the dress looks pretty, but hate it was so see-through. I recently signed up with them, and I’m a bit nervous that I’m not going to be able to find things appropriate for my body or age. 🙂
MomStart (Ashley) says
Bummer about the dress… but ooo la la about your new shades. =)
Billie says
Those are so cute, I definitely need more fashion in my life.
Virginia from That Bald Chick says
Those sunglasses look great on you! Sorry about the dress!
Elaina- A Time Out for Mommy says
Love those sunglasses on you!
Rachel @ Following In My Shoes says
Oh, wow — it doesn’t seem see-through at all in the catalog pic. I’m sorry that turned out a disappointment because it’s a very cute dress! Do they allow returns?
Rhiannon Rowland says
I lose my sunglasses a lot as well. I have one pair that is really ugly (I call them my powder puff girls sunglasses) and I never lose them…of course! Those are really cute on you. And that dress is great, did you try and find a slip to wear underneath? I think they make strapless ones.
Ty @ Mama of 3 Munchkins says
You look great!
Courtney says
What a nice dress – love the sunglasses too! 🙂
Megan says
I’m with you – I never would have guessed from the catalog picture that the dress was see-through! I think they should have been more clear about that!
Marcie W. says
That dress doesn’t look see thru on the model OR on the hanger, boo that it is. I love having a sunglasses collection as well and even keep a spare pair in my car just in case.
Stefanie says
The dress looks cute on the hanger!
Jenn says
Love the dress and its weird that it does not look see through on the model. Could you find one of those body slips to wear under it? It is too pretty for a swimsuit cover up
Toni says
It looks like a super cute dress.
Holly Thomas says
I agree with Jenn, the dress is very pretty and i think it would look great on you!!
Anne - Mommy Has to Work says
I love those glasses! Very fashionable!
Emily @FamilyNLifeLV says
All you need is a great slip! Cute glasses too!
Notorious Spinks says
Love the shades on you!
shanon hyatt says
You got some good taste girl I love the glasses really hip and love the color.and your chose of dress is awesome very nice it’s kind of elegant, classy and everyday wear all put together-you must of had a blast doing this (even if there were a few issues-like the dress being see through & the clothes you liked not being in your size) My wardrobe is also in need of a change, Gosh I wish something like this would come my way.
Colleen says
I may get a slip to give the dress a try I just didn’t have the time or “want” to do it before I reviewed it. I do still use the sunglasses, and thank you for the compliment.
Barbara Stenby says
Loved the review & the glasses looked great!
Evelyn Chuter says
That dress looks way better on you than it does on the hanger. I love it!
DENISE SMITH says
i love the dress it is so prettty
Rosie says
That dress is amazing, too bad it is see through. You could probably have a seamstress add a lightweight jersey lining to it, but it would cost you a bundle and it might not come out right. You could possibly add a long slip but wear the waist up around your armpits and pin it to something, that would make most of the dress opaque. I love sunglasses, too, nothing can glam up a hum drum outfit like hot sunglasses. I’d be tempted to have expensive ones, but I lose them and can’t stop sitting on them, grrr at myself, so don’t dare.
