We just got a nice, new H&M at our outlets so the first weekend it was opened you know I had to check it out. Let me just tell you that H&M has really upped their game. I would pop into one from time to time, but not on the regular. They have so many good sweaters and dresses and a lot of great work wear options for such a reasonable price. I think the quality is a lot better than it was once upon a time too.
I found this dress and tried it on and really liked it, but they didn’t have my size so I went home and ordered it. They have free shipping on orders over $40, so I found a few more things to try, and added them to my cart. One of the other things I found was this pull on skirt that is absolutely perfect for layering under a longer tunic sweater for a really cute look.
I paired the dress with tall black boots and really like the look, but you could just as easily pull on some black tights and a suede block heel pump or bootie for a warmer outcome.
This dress has a keyhole back with one button and a little gather that’s really cute from behind.
Once I had it and tried it on, I had an ah-ha moment and grabbed a belt to give it a little more structure and a tunic feel then tried that with my Spanx Faux Leather Leggings. How cute would this be for a party? I wanted a new pair of black booties this year so I grabbed these during the Nordstrom sale this past summer. I love the deep cut on the outside of the foot that elongates the side of the leg and the heel height is pretty much perfect for me. They are just a little over 3″. So many of the booties have a 4″ heel and for me that extra inch makes a huge difference in the comfort for walking and standing. I can do both in these without my feet screaming for mercy. I’m not sure how I used to wear heels all day and stand on my feet when I worked in a bank.
I added my big bauble necklace and a black clutch to finish the look and was good to go. I’d say for $20 this dress is a score!

I love both looks, Lisa! Our H&M is hit or miss, but I do think that their office wear is pretty descent.
I think a lot of their stuff is, you just have to hunt. Thanks girlie! XO
What a fabulous find! And one heck of a deal. Little classy with snazzy going on here pretty friend! xo
Thanks friend! You’d look dynamite in this dress!!!
Oh my oh my, so cute and stylish at the same time! How versatile is that dress. We don't have the shop on the island and they don't ship here from the UK so all I can do is look at your elegant styling from afar ...
Hugs, Mary x.

Thanks Mary! I’m not usually very good at styling multiple ways, so I was pretty excited about this. XO
I love this both ways!!! I think it's dressy enough in both but totally gives off a different vibe each way, too. Flawless, as usual!
Oh sweet Melissa! Don’t ever leave me?
Wow I can't believe what a bargain that dress is - it looks so gorgeous!! You've styled it great both ways xx Maria

I know, right?! I love it when something is priced so great and looks good too. Happy weekend! XO
You look like a million bucks in this $20 dress my friend! And that hair!!!! Gorgeous! I like it both ways. What a great dress. The boys like H&M and I got a great sweater there last year.

Well thanks girl! Come see me and I’ll take you to the outlets. ?
I do like the dress but I really like your hair best of all. All that volume is so attractive. A great look!
Thanks Lea!!!
That dress looks great on you. I can’t decide which way I like it best. Both are just to cute.
Aw, thanks Heather!!!
That is such a cute dress, what a bargain! It looks so nice on you worn both ways :) We have H&M here in Brisbane but I still haven't been in for a browse!
Hope that you are having a great week so far! It's been hot and dusty here, so very summery! Thankfully the crazy winds have died down :)
