Admittedly, I haven’t been shopping in H&M much lately. The reasons are varied, ranging from not finding many styles that I like to encountering a questionable quality on some of the clothing.
I am glad, though, that I ventured into H&M last weekend because this recent visit reignited my interest in the store. I was drawn in by the colors, prints, lace, and knits. More importantly, many of the items looked much more expensive than their low prices.
I found myself smitten by a wide stripe dress in the store. I know what you are thinking, “more stripes Psyche?” Yes! The dress has a superb knit that is just right to wear now and heavy enough to sport all fall long. It also has a very generous fit. I sized down to an XS, which is unusual for me in H&M. I am typically in the size 6 to 8 range there.

This dress also comes in a pink and orange. And, I clearly can’t get enough stripes because I want that one too.
Have you explored H&M’s fall collection? Anything tickle your fancy?
Aww I don't have that problem at H&M. I love them, and they are finally making plans to open one here in houston. Cute dress from them!

I LOVE this dress. It looks great on you!
I don't do well in H&M either, for the reasons you mentioned. The quality being first and foremost. I'm always checking out the garment tag to see what the material is.
I like the dress you picked up.
i havent ever gotten anything from H&M, but i actually have been wanting that pink blazer (i saw a picture of it on pinterest)… and i LOVE that b&w dress! sooo cute. you look great!
This dress is beautiful on you ! I´m now following, following back ?
@Shasie: How wonderful for Houston! When I was in KY, I used to have to drive all the way to Cincinnati to visit H&M. They are all over St. Louis though.
@Life as Leah: Aww thanks! The quality of the knit was so notable, I had to try it on. It was over after that.
@Sing: See now…you feel me. It's been hit or miss for a while. Really excited about many of the new fall items though.
@Lori: That blazer is attractive, right? It was only $29.99 too! I bought it earlier in the summer. I'm not sure if it is still available. There is an orange, cropped jacket in stores now that is quite pretty.
@Like Mousse au Choco: Thanks!
