Some stuff I picked up at H&M this afternoon on sale/clearance.
The Rodarte inspired jumper is $20 and the body con 'ice cream' dress mirrors the soft nude shades coming up this spring/summer ($20 and can be worn strapless). The grey leggings (worn with the 'Rodarte' jumper) look like skinny jeans with ankle zips.
The leopard tunic (full price) was from the men's section. Good now over skinnies and ankle boots and later as a mini dress in spring/summer with leather thong metallic sandals.
The black fishnet jumper looks and feels like a mix of rubber and suede. (Love the transparency. Pictured here with a long tank underneath).
The long dress was a watched item for weeks so I caved when it finally went on sale.

  16. the bustier dress fits you like a glove! seriously, it looks incredible.
    i'd own it too if my store carried trend. and i don't know WHY we didn't get the rodarte-esque knitted sweater - because we carry that label, divided red. ARG!!!

  42. Stellar finds - I wish my H&M was that well stocked. I'll definitely go scour the sales racks soon. I especially love the gray "jeggings" if you will - I think that trend will definitely be around for at least another year.

    ReplyDelete

  43. I see i'm not the only one that loves the H&M men's section. The sweaters are so comfy.

    ReplyDelete

  44. Love the black jumper, and the blue 'watched' dress - H&M do such great clothes. I have a long pale peach skirt (very Sandra D) in the same fabric as the dress; soooo much fabric, and so cheap!

  77. Contempo - thanks! and I ALMOST didn't try it on after seeing it for weeks when it was full price.

    Adri - they need to have a proper online site to purchase like Topshop.

    Tigeren - :-/

    Nina - thx! Relieved I didn't cave when it was full price (too expensive for what it was).
