On my sick day yesterday, I somehow managed to stumble into a mall. I made three quick stops and one was at H&M. I was drawn into the H&M store in the St. Louis Galleria because the mannequins were styling and profiling in beautiful combinations of black, white, and teal (a shade that H&M is calling ‘petrol’).
I liked the visual merchandising so much that I tried on a few things I saw.

H&M blazer (petrol), size 6. $34.95 |

H&M cardigan (petrol), size XS. $24.95 |

H&M dress, size S. $17.95 I love this dress and the price! This silhouette, though, isn’t very flattering on me. In side profiles, I look pregnant. |
I purchased the cardigan because I thought it would pair well with my leggings, pencil skirts, and sheath dresses. Here’s a look inspired by the displays I spotted in H&M yesterday.
Camisole—OldNavy
Cardigan—H&M
Skirt—The Limited
Belt—Hobo International via Marshalls
Shoes—DVF Diane Von Furstenberg via Century 21
Pearls—Overstock
Watch—MICHAEL Michael Kors via TJ Maxx

i love that blazer! it's a very pretty color. is it a knit material?
@Jane: Nice, right? The blazer isn't a knit, but it is textured. It is fully lined too.
I love how you worked out the houndstooth anyway!
@Lauren: Thanks! I love houndstooth prints, so I had a small stash at home to pull from…:-)
