For her first look, the influencer modeled a neon orange long-sleeve crop top with a frilled hem, $7, and light-washed jeans, $21.

Showing off the look, she said: "The only thing I don’t like, they don’t really specify anymore that the shirts are going to be cropped. I’m not really in the mood to wear crop tops, honestly."

Shay-La also tried on a $13 gray hooded top with an asymmetrical hem and $17 color-block tracksuit pants.

"This will be so cute with just a simple bag and some air forces. It’ll be so cute together," she told her followers.

Next, she paired a $27 black drop shoulder sweater with a pink flame pattern with ripped black and gray skinny jeans, $25.

Shay-La shared: "I wish it was smaller and more snug. The sweater is so nice, the material is dope. It looks exactly like it did in the picture."

The influencer also tried on a long sleeve yellow and blue shirt with a bikini graphic, available from Shein for just $9.

"I love this top. It’s really cute, the material is bodycon. I love the yellow. It fits really well, it has a nice stretch to it," she said.

She revealed: "The skirt is a little on the flimsy side, there’s not much material under it. It’s not going to keep you warm, it’s like a piece of paper."

The YouTuber also showed her subscribers an $8 cropped white tee with a cartoon graphic and $16 blue cargo pants.

"There’s no stretch in these. The bottom is giving scarecrow. It’s giving The Wiz, it’s giving somewhere over the rainbow," she said.

Shay-La also paired the fun T-shirt with a pair of clay-colored pants with ruched flares, $17.

The influencer said she was in love with the blue and yellow top
