Try-On Session | H&M Fall Favourites

A few favourites at H&M right now!

As I’ve been editing down my wardrobe and trying to figure out my current style, it’s been super helpful keeping a list of pieces that are “missing” within my wardrobe.  I was lucky enough to partner with H&M last month on Instagram (here and here) and went shopping with some specific pieces in mind.  On the list?  A versatile day-to-night blouse, a great pair of high waist jeans, and a slightly oversized but somehow still flattering blazer.

There’s so much to love in H&M stores right now, it’s no surprise that I left with everything on the wishlist and had to leave behind a few standouts.  The things I did purchase, I’ve had for over a month and can confidently recommend them.

Okay, I didn’t actually leave with these first two pieces, but that’s only because I already own a leather jacket similar to this biker one and the jeans were just slightly too tight in the waistband.  That being said, the jacket is true to size and a great deal.  Seriously, if I didn’t already own something so similar, it would be mine.  These denim culottes are very small fitting, which is what ultimately deterred me.  I sized up and I could still struggled to do them up.  If you are smaller in the waist, then the denim culottes would work well, though I see they only have the white colour left in stock.  Still a great find if you think they’d fit your frame well!

You know those pieces that come into your life that you didn’t realize you’d been missing?  This blazer has filled a major gap in my wardrobe, I absolutely cannot stop wearing it.  The houndstooth pattern gives it dimension, but the black and white colours keep it very neutral.  I’m wearing a size 10, it fits slightly oversized as a look, but it’s very true to size if you like that ‘boyfriend blazer’ kind of fit.

I’ve heard from a few people that they can’t find these distressed jeans in store, and that’s no surprise.  I found them as a solo pair, stuffed on a rack of random denim.  They happened to be in my size and to fit extremely well.  In denim, I am usually a 30, but you know how sizing is, I can really wear anything from a 29-31.  These are a 31 and are a relaxed but still flattering fit.  They have button closure, so I’d rather them be a bit big than too tight and bulging open in between the buttons.

Last, but not least, this sheer blouse has been a lovely.  It goes with a ton and I still need more of these tops that are dressier than a t-shirt, but still comfortable.  It’s the toughest thing to find, I tell ya!  Without having to wear it with a bulky camisole, I finally figured out that wearing my Knix 8-in-1 Evolution Bra underneath and pairing it with high waisted bottoms provided the right amount of coverage.

It was so fun doing a try-on session and mini haul.  Would you guys want to see more of these?  Let me know!
