The H&M Thread #2

[sofialuv]

I love this shirt! Here it is on me (bear with me, I'm no Daria )

I honestly think that it looks better on you.

I picked up so many cute earrings at H&M today, specifically from Divided. Will post pics later.. also I really want the white cardigan with puffy sleeves on the top.. does anyone have it?

The Ida - The shirt looks great on you! Daria who?

 

[The_Ida]

Thanks guys! I thought it would look stupid on me, but surprisingly it didn't. And it's made of lycosell, so it's super soft! It looks best tucked into jeans - again, I usually hate denim-on-denim looks with a passion, but this looked brilliant.

This is the weirdest buy I've made in a while, because my head said it wouldn't work, but my heart said HELL YES!

 

[The_Ida]

Love the shirt, The_Ida! I have it as well, and just adore it

May I ask how you wear it? I'm kinda lost. I got some ideas from net-a-porter though (they have a blouse from Maje that's very similar)

like you, i wasnt a big fan of the double denim trend either but i think you can rock it with this shirt and some skinny jeans..but I think thejeans have to be lighter than the top in this case, i cant really see it with darker jeans?

 

[The_Ida]

^It looks surprisingly nice with darker jeans (even though mine are faded...maybe that's why it works?). Shorts should work as well I think. Oh well.

Getting up at 6 this morning paid off! I got the 9,95 blue dress from the Blues collection, the jeans jacket from that same collection for only 4,95. And the red dress with roses from the Garden collection

^ I was there at 7.30... I had the white simple 10 € shirt in my shopping bag (online shopping bag) yesterday and on some point it was gone in XS: But got it this morning.

And I need help: I had ordered the light beige shorts (the cheaper ones) in XS and S. I dont really feel like positing pictures of my a***therefore I hope only discribing it will help. XS fits perfectly in the waist area, but it is pretty tight on my backside. I dont think those short are supposed to be tight... S on the other hand sits loosely on my bottom but it is really wide in the waist area and theres so much volume in the belly part. now not sure, pull the S backwards and forwards so that the volume is not only in the front, or send both back??
Arrg or keep XS, but the mere fact that it is not supposed to be tight is telling me to send it back. keep XS and hope that spring workout will help??

btw I tried the more expensive brown shorts in XS in the store and those were just perfect but I absolutely didnt like the colour...

ah and another question: this dress that comes in blue.. wasnt it supposed to come in white as well? I think I've seen dree wearing it in white in the hm magazine...

i;ve been struggling with it a bit, even though i love it! like you said, double denim is okay when the jeans are dark so i do that, and on a few really lazy occasions i did leggings with it (shame on me!) but i haven't worn it to the full potential yet! i get lots of compliments on it though, and at such a cheap price i couldn't be swayed!

 

[lifeistiffanyblu]

ok sorry am i missing something?why is everyone going to h&m at 7 30 am?
im so confused...

 

[Mrs.Smith]

^ they refill the online store every morning at 6 am with things that have been sent back and IMO also cancelled orders, because things that are online since thursday can hardly be sent back already.

btw my 7.30 order has disappeared, though I got a confirmation mail.... WTF???

 

[Tiffany7]

Do they have shop online for US yet?

Well that sucks. I'm sorry
I don't know anything about the online shop in Germany, but here in the Netherlands it's often a big mess. Orders that get cancelled, delivery dates that are pushed back several times etc.

 

[diormouse]

Nope. I think that the UK is getting one later on this year, but there aren't plans for a US online store as far as I know.

Take S - there is nothing worse that seeing girl ( even very fit one ) in too tight short that should not be tight , plus personally i think those kind of shorts look better when they're little too big - very casual, not trying hard look.


About dress - the 9,95 euros navy dress and dress which Dree has on in magazine are two different dresses. But yes - dree's white dress comes also in blue

Ok Thank you. Maybe some day... hopefully.

Went to H&M again tonight looking for more Garden Collection & they had quite a bit of it but they either didnt suite my taste or didnt fit right.

I didnt leave empty handed though. Purchased...
cream thick lace tee style top
pale pink cardigan with puffy sleeves (Im thinking someone here picked that up)
a wide pastel floral bangle

all very Andie Walsh from Pretty in Pink (looked like I had her clothes in my bag)

ah thanks so much for the info Mrs. Smith!Being in the UK I sadly cannot participate in this group activity just yet lol.

it sucks about your order though, did you manage to get it sorted out?

Thank you! That's what I did in the end,kept the S (actually I think it was 34-36 not XS-S) and you're sooo right about people wearing too small clothes...

Lucky you and your wallet!!

I think it's the same here, too. Apparently the cancelled order was my own fault, because on the list of my orders there was a little note like "cancelled due to too little rest amount", without making any more clear, what this was supposed to mean. I then remembered that I had used a bonus code I had read about on the internet, a 5 € discount. And apparently you have to order for at least 25 € to be able to use that code. Slightly annoying: how comes their programme didnt notice the problem during 5 steps of ordering prozess AND even sent me the confirmation. because even the last step of the order, as well as the mail, told me I was to get a 10 € shirt minus 5 € reduction. Why deleting the whole order instead of only the 5 € reduction?? And why not letting me know via mail??
The shirt luckily reappeared in XS at some point in the evening, dont ask me why and I ordered it again.
Now I just had a look whether it is still there, and it is, but a shirt I ordered like 2 months ago has disappeared (no reduction involved this time). I must say, after 2 months I dont want it anymore, and it was just a simple basic thing, so no big thing.
I had orderd some million basics because last year, I was hunting for simple white logg tank tops in my size in about 3 different stores, and I dont particularily like shopping at stores like h&m. I want their clothes, of course, but dont like the chaos and stress there.

But more confusion on my online shop page: the list of my latest orders has disappeared, it says I hadnt got anything within 6 months. Now wondering whether they still want my money.
