I'm In Love With All Things Silk - Suck It Up Buttercup Review

If you ask me what's the one thing that every girl needs in her wardrobe, I'd say a few totally cute silk shorts and scrunchies. Today, I want to show you a few of my favourite shorts ever. I got these little pieces from Suck It Up Buttercup, a fantastic, silk clothing and accessories store that sells gorgeous women's clothing and hair ties made from breathable, natural silk. Suck It Up Buttercup makes most of their items by hand, so everything's made to a high degree of precision and quality. 

Suck It Up Buttercup specialises in handmade silk accessories and shorts- their Etsy shop is not large but it contains really gorgeous and delicate pieces that every girl should own. For example, the shop sells colorful silk shorts which are made for lounging around the house, as well as scrunchies which are suitable for girls with long hair. Silk is a material that is hypoallergenic, lightweight and comfortable to wear. It is one of the most sustainable and natural materials out there for clothing, so I'm really excited to share with you my thoughts about their shop. 

These grey silk shorts is made of ultra-soft mulberry silk, which is literally the softest and smoothest type of silk for loungewear and sleepwear. I absolutely adore the grey colour of the shorts because it was elegant, simple and lovely. In fact, the grey tone matched really well with a simple crop top and t-shirt, giving this item a very cozy vibe. I think it paired really well with a light pink camisole top and flip flops, or just with a sweater and a cardigan for the summer months. The design is absolutely delightful, and I love it so much!

As for the quality, the silk is very smooth and feels light on my skin. One thing about silk is that it is one of the world's most precious and delicate materials, and no other material feels quite as good as silk. These shorts feels lovely on my skin, and really drapes around the body very well. I particular love the elasticated waist design as it's comfortable without being too containing and tight around the hips. It is such an elegant and exquisite piece!

I also got the same pair of shorts in pink, which looked ultra-feminine and wonderful. I love pink silk as it gives off a shiny sheen, which emphasise the lightness of the material and pink colour. Pink shorts are definitely a must for every girl as it's elegant and cute, and I paired it with my pink camisole too. I also got a lovely Navy Hair Scrunchie made from 100% silk, and it's perfect for tying up my long hair without the elastic snagging or pulling on my hair.

Overall, Suck It Up Buttercup's affordable and luxurious collection is one of my favourites of 2018. Their elegant and simple designs, combined with the lovely use of colors makes them one of the best silk clothing and accessories shops that I've ever seen! Most of their shorts and scrunchies are extremely versatile, so it doesn't matter whether you're going to an casual dinner or watching a movie at home with friends- they have everything that you can possibly need for a cozy, stylish wardrobe!
