I’m a fashion guru & ordered SKIMS bits for Valentine’s Day – the dress was the winner, others are obsessed with it too
A TRENDY fashionista has shared her thoughts on SKIMS Valentine’s Day collection – and people are obsessed.
Looking to treat herself, Brooklynn Mullins, from Atlanta, the US, decided to order a few bits from SKIMS, and one of the items is definitely the winner.
The fashion enthusiast, who posts under the username @brooklynn_mullins on TikTok, started off the shopping haul with adorable undies.
The soft knickers, a total of five, came in different Valentine’s Day-inspired prints, such as off-white with dainty hearts and bright red.
Next up in the try-on video was a figure-hugging two-piece set Brooklynn had purchased in soft pink.
The high-waist shorts and flattering vest are perfect for lounging around the house with your significant other.
But the number that made fellow style lovers gasp the most was the viral dress that Kim Kardashian has now launched in pink too.
The baby pink garment hugged her curves perfectly and it’s bound to become a hit this season too.
”I can’t get over it!” Brooklynn exclaimed in the caption.
”It fits like a glove!”
It’s not just the fashion fan who couldn’t get over this maxi dress – social media users were obsessed with it too.
”Pretty girls wear pink,” a person chuckled.

Someone else joked: ”let me borrow everything!”
”The dress is so cuteee [sic],” a third penned.
”You definitely convinced me to get it now,” another stylish woman added.
Sadly, not everyone’s had the best experience with the viral brand – and mum Alexandra Guzman certainly has a thing or two to say about Kim K’s fashion retailer.
Makeup artist Alexandra is a new mum, and when her Skims bodysuit arrived, she was only months postpartum.
“I have a three-month-old baby,” Guzman explained in a video review, “so I’ve been into shapewear lately.”
Holding up the package, Guzman confessed that she’d been tracking the shapewear since the day she ordered it.
“You guys have no idea how excited I’ve been to get this in the mail,” she said.
Guzman bought the Sculpting Bodysuit, $62, in a size L/XL, based on her usual size in bottoms (10/large).
“Supposedly, this thing is supposed to be tiny as h**l,” Guzman said, fishing it out of the package.
Still, she was surprised when she saw how small the one-piece was. “Oh my gosh!” she said with a laugh. “What the heck?”
Then, it was time for the moment of truth.
“Let’s see what the fuss is about,” said a hopeful Guzman before cutting away to try on the outfit.
Within minutes, she was back on camera and visibly upset.
“I’m super disappointed in this, because of the price,” the frustrated mom said. She wore a tank top over the bodysuit.
Standing in front of the mirror, she showed her body, gesturing at her midsection and her underarms.
Guzman said, “I literally feel like I look the same but I’ve got the fat coming out at the arms.”
“I feel like my clothes look the same,” Guzman continued, holding her stomach. “You can see my mom pooch.”
“And look at this,” she said, pointing back at the places where the shapewear’s straps pinched the skin under her arms. “Why does it do that?”
Despite having “no butt or boobs,” Guzman said, the bodysuit was too tight in all the wrong places.
“I feel like I need it bigger up here,” she said, touching her chest. But at the same time, she wished the stomach was more snug.
Standing in just the bodysuit and jeans, Guzman called the Skims founder into question.
“I also saw Kim Kardashian said she wears these as shirts,” Guzman said. “B***h, I would not.”
For the price, Guzman expected a more dramatic shaping effect, especially when compared to her favorite brand.
Wearing a pair of Leonisa’s Firm Tummy Control Shorts, $85, Guzman showed off her flattened stomach.
“Now this is shapewear. It doesn’t give me any of the rolls,” she said, stroking her smooth abdomen.
“If I’m recommending something, I’m going to recommend this one over Skims,” Guzman declared.
Still, the experience was a letdown for Guzman. “I thought I was going to love Skims like everybody else,” she said sadly.
