We’ve already discussed the fact that you can afford it (meaning afford to be fashionable) but taking that to the next level…how can you look like you’re wearing a super high-end outfit without paying the high-end price? You know I got you…
Before I get to the point of this post. We are going to play a little game. Let’s guess the designer behind each of these pieces and how much you think they all cost. Now you’ll get the answers when you click the links so try not to cheat (coming from me, who always seems to “win” at card games). Okay, ready? GO!
Oversized sweater dress. Open back sweater.
Sleeveless jumpsuit. Leather pants.
Wool hat. Leather sandals. Suede / leather clutch. Leather sneakers.
So I’m sure you’ve clicked the links by now…yes it is all from H&M!
Of all the fast fashion retailers, I’d have to say H&M is one of my favorites. Not just because of the cool styles but the quality might actually surprise you. I’ve had quite a few H&M pieces for 4 or 5 years. I wear them all the time and they’re still in great shape. But the brand has really taken it to the next level since then (note to self, get to H&M / buy those burgundy sandals ASAP). Many of their pieces look crazy expensive and the best part is? THEY’RE NOT!! Like pieces that will have your friends being all like, how did you get your hands on Saint Laurent Fall ’15 already?
Now if you’re more of an in-person shopper, you should go check out the new H&M that just opened in the Chicago Ridge Mall (like literally opens today at noon). They’re even offering the first 200 shoppers a t-shirt + an Access to Fashion Pass (valued at up to $300!). And you know I’m all about sharing the best fashion jobs and internships around the city and beyond (AKA Chi City Careers) so if you’re looking for a new gig, check out their careers page (there’s a visual merchandising position open…just sayin’!)
So here’s my challenge for you. Go to your nearest H&M store (or online) and find the most luxe looking thing in the store and post on Twitter / Instagram (tag me so I can see it) and we’ll play guess how much this costs but it doesn’t matter because either way you SCORED?
In partnership with H&M.
