I went to H&M and went a little crazy. I have a bad habit of not trying things on, especially when they are moderately priced and when the store has ridiculous fitting room wait times. I end up having to make another trip to return most of my purchases and then I end up browsing more and purchasing more things. See the problem? I know, it's a vicious cycle. Anybody else like that? Anyway, I thought I'd share some cute finds that I'm deciding on.
First item on the list is this cute pink ruffle top. I was originally drawn to the bright red one that was on the mannequin and was disappointed when they didn't have my size. But then as I browsed some more, I was pleasantly surprised to find this pink colored one which I decided I like better and could wear more often. I like the cascading flowy part on the bottom and the flowers on top make me feel like a Greek goddess, haha :) It's a little big under the arms and on top but it's do-able under a blazer or cardigan.
Next, I got two tan/beige colored pencil skirt. I'm keeping the one on the right. It was a little snug but I still comfortable. Does it look too tight? It's my usual H&M size - 2. I like the detailing at the waist and is a perfect-for-work transition piece for spring. I need to get it shortened a bit. The one on the right is too big and the side was weird even though it's also a sz 2.
I also wanted a print dress that didn't have a pattern that would completely overwhelm my frame. I think I'll keep this.
I saw this shirt on a mannequin (in white) and thought it would be a good shirt to add a little flare under a cardigan. Only problem is it's kind of low cut so have to either wear another top under or on a night out.

Lastly, I found this blazer. I think the cut is great, not too boxy, detailing in the front and back, a good length, but the sleeves are too long and it's...pink. Not that I have anything against pink (see first item) but as a blazer I'm not sure I can pull it off. Any ideas or suggestions? I think they had some other colors as well so maybe a more neutral color would be a smarter addition to my wardrobe; so I'm undecided - thank goodness for 30 day return policies!
Actually, after taking these pictures, I decided not to keep the blazer. The shell is cotton and elastane but it's SO wrinkly. I had to iron the blazer in order to make it presentable for the pictures and it's still wrinkly (or it could be testament to my ironing skills). Has anybody tried this blazer?
