Why it worked

This relatable perspective, combined with the creator's confident delivery, likely resonated with viewers who also shop at SHEIN or are interested in affordable fashion.

Summary

and I honestly feel like the reason I’m so comfortable in my financial position is because I’m a baddie on a budget!!! I splurge on jewelry, makeup/beauty, and some clothes… but other than that I don’t overspend on things that are unnecessary #fyp #shein

Listen, it doesn't matter how much money I make. A girl like me, I will never stop shopping on chain, ever. And see, here's the thing, like people be acting like they're too good for chain or shaming, shopping on chain. As a chain is not good for a little two piece of little accessory like, let's be real. Now, don't get me wrong already, like I believe in investing in quality pieces that will last you with longevity and quality fabrics, but it's certain things that you can compromise on and just buy from chain. Like chain has cute stuff and honestly She has partnered with a lot of other brands. So a lot of the times you're getting it from that brand. You know what I mean? And the real gag is is that especially with me being in business, like a lot of these companies and brands are manufactured in China with the same manufacturers right there with China. But it's just the power of branding like when you slap a name tag on it or whatever a brand, like it just makes it more valuable in your mind is psychology. So yeah, I'll never stop shopping that and I'm not afraid of. So yeah, I'm not write to admit that and I will say you have to know how to shop on machine. Like if you get into fast fashion like it's just certain pieces that everybody has and it's just going to give like shine. But if you shop certain things like if you're a bad, you got to be in you, not on you, like you just have to know how to shop because you can literally make anything look cute. Like it's not about the money, you know?
