Though the pieces were slightly too big (make that at least one size bigger than “normal” at H&M), I managed to make them work…well, as best as I could, anyway. The first piece, one of the double sided dresses, something I was debating over – whether to get the top or the dress (which I didn’t even try on). Ultimately, it was the dress, and though it does seem a bit big, even after belting, I was told that this collection was meant to fit a bit loose.
From the front:
Back:
Side:
Drawstring neckline dress: Marni at H&M, size 2
Belt: H&M, size XS
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Proratas, size 34
Polka Dot Top:
I’m not too sure about the fit. Again, it’s supposed to be a little loose, but it just looks a bit boxy on me, even with jeggings. The picture online made it seem like it would give someone some curves, but it looks more “bohemian” on me, especially if the belt is tied at the back. It seems a little bit better when it’s belted in the front:
Back belt:
Front Belt:
Top: Marni at H&M, size 2
Jeggings: Rag & Bone for Intermix, size 24
Shoes: As Above
Zippy Cardigan:
This was one of the tops that was on my definitely yes list, despite the ruffles (something that I haven’t been a big fan of). I knew that this would be great with denim, so I decided to it with my Allison Izu jeans that I got around the holiday season. Please excuse the unpedicured feet. It’s only early March, after all!
Zippy Cardigan: Marni at H&M
Jeans: Allison Izu Parker Bootcut, size 000/31 (note: the length is closer to 29 1/2″ for this size)
Sandals: Fendi, size 5
I did like the collection, but wished that it had a slightly smaller/better fit. Oh well, at least this was better than the Jason Wu for Target collection. Now THAT was some crazy-ass vanity sizing!
