Lookbook: H & M Ruched Mauve Skirt and H & M Gray Tights in XS

Tiny skirt alert again! This is a mauve ruched skirt I just recently bought at H & M and love it! It’s teeny weeny so it’s perfect for petites! It’s more of a casual/going out skirt but it fits like a glove and I can wear it in all seasons! Anyone who is my size or even smaller- you definitely have to check this skirt out! The color is super pretty and you can pair it with tights! I included the tag as a reference below:)

Top: H & M Ruched Tee- size XS (similar HERE in XS and HERE)
Skirt: H & M Ruched Mauve Skirt- size 2 (similar HERE and HERE)
Tights: H & M Divided Dk. Grey Tights- size XS (similar HERE and HERE)
Pumps: Christian Louboutin Simple 100 Pumps– size 5/35 (sold HERE)
I am so happy I found these gray tights along with this skirt because all I wear in Fall/Winter are skirts and dresses! These tights are just perfect because I love the grey color and it’s a nice change from black. And it’s not too opaque which I prefer!

This is a s simple outfit that I put together to go out to dinner with  hubby. Since the skirt is sort of dressy, I toned it down with a simple gray ruched sleeve tee and some long strand pink pearls.

Seriously this skirt is so tiny, that I couldn’t even breathe after our delicious dinner! On an empty stomach, it fits perfectly but don’t plan on eating too much…hehehehhe
Here is what the back looks like- fits real nicely in the rump…
Obviously you cannot wear this too work because it’s too tight and too short so definitely NOT work appropriate but for $24.95 and it fits AND it’s super cute? I thought it’s a cute skirt to wear to dinner or on the weekends.
Every Fall/Winter, I go on a hunt for tights. I just love H & M tights. They are usually sold out of the XS so you really have to dig and probably go to several stores before finding one. I lucked out and found these dark grey in XS and made in Italy- even better.

I don’t like super duper opaque tights because then they start to look like leggings. Do you ladies like these gray tights? Am I crazy for loving them so much? For $4.95- it’s the cheapest tights out there and I like the quality….I am on the hunt for black and brown (not sure if they come in brown). I must find these! I would have stocked up on these grey ones but there was only ONE left:(
I always like to have back up pairs of tights I love because they are so easy to snag or get a run in them. With me running around like crazy and always in a rush, I sometimes don’t pay a attention and end of rubbing up against something that will cause a major snag. 
Yes I am testing out a new area in my house:) I had to drag that gigantic heavy chair from the formal living room into this entry way- gosh that sucker is heavy!

(only $17.95) and comes in small! (click HERE to shop)
Perfect Black Pumps (comes in size 5)
I don’t know why it took me so long to realize this but this entire outfit not including the shoes and pearls is from H & M. 

The top I got about 6 months ago and I believe it was around $7.95, the tights were $4.95 and the skirt was $24.95 for a grand total of $37.85. A whole outfit for under $40! Not bad!!! Of course I am not counting the necklace or shoes but still!

In case anyone is looking for dark grey tights…here is the packaging and tag as a reference. I love these so much and really hope I can find the black and brown pair. I know they carry them in black but maybe they will come out with brown. H & M Divided tights go by “DEN” – so the higher the DEN- the more opaque/thick  it is.  I much prefer 40 DEN- it’s the perfect thickness and color.
Honestly, for $4.95- you really can’t beat it! 

What are your thoughts on dark grey tights and this skirt? Anyone else find this skirt? 
Don’t forget to stay tuned because the next giveaway will be Wednesday!!! 🙂

  1. Very cute outfit! I think I saw this skirt the other day in store but didn't think to try it on. It definitely looks a lot cuter on you. As for the tights, great find! I usually wear pants during winter. Winter in Ohio is extremely cold. It's not like the kind of winter you have in SoCal 🙂 I have to check out those tights the next time I am at H&M. You look cute (and girly) as always 🙂

  2. Great looking outfit, and awesome price! (minus the shoes and pearls. Hehe)
    I totally understand why you were crazy about those tights. It's not that opaque, which makes your legs look so sexy. Great find.
    I love the color of the skirt. Really cute. Like PLG said, winter in SoCal is one of a kind and I am definitely not in the mood to buy more tiny skirts right now. 🙂

  3. Super cute and feminine detail of the skirt. You look so lovely in this outfit. Boy, don't I love those pumps!

  4. Super cute outfit!! That skirt does fit you like a glove and looks really nice against the grey tights. Great finds at H&M! I'll be so glad once H&M opens their store in Dallas next year so that I can join in on all the H&M fun!

  5. you look awesome! i actually tried on that skirt, and like you said it fits like a glove, but its not work appropriate so i passed.

  6. I adore the mauve & grey! Another item to look for on my next H&M trip! I too love tights in the winter but I never bought H&M tights bc I doubted the quality – how do they hold up compared to other brands? I usually buy Hue tights, which are okay, not wonderful.

    And you're definitely not the only one who loves grey tights! I love them too! It's time for me to replenish my supply 🙂

  7. Gorgeous skirt and gorgeous styling as always! I really love that you echoed the skirt ruching to the sleeves on your top – it's details that really make the outfit pop 🙂

  8. Thank you for pointing out the tights! I always buy black tights but nixed it the other day cause it looked too severe. I'm going to try grey ones.

  9. Cute skirt! it fits nice on you. Gotta love h&m and their size 2.

    I ended up ordering another pair of those Via Spiga boots in a leather material and in the style, but the shaft is too big. I am returning them! How weird right?!

  10. That's a very pretty skirt… too bad I can never find anything at my local H&Ms, otherwise I'd be tempted to go look for it too!

  11. I think this is such an elegant and feminine look. The dark grey tights go perfectly with the lilac skirt. You're so tiny, I'm extremely jealous! That skirt looks gorgeous on you. I might have to pay H&M a visit and hunt that skirt down 😉 In a much bigger size, of course :p

  12. h&m is a lifesaver, isn't it? this skirt fits great on you 😀 i need to stop eating so many goodies if i'm to fit into my h&m size 2 skirts hahaha

  13. Mauve and grey go well together. I'm a fan of pinks and purples with grey. =)

    Re: your Shop This Look section, the grey ruched sleeve tee link goes to delias.com. Have you shopped there yet? As denim-obsessed as I am, I noticed that delias carries jeans in seven inseam lengths (woohoo for 26" and 28"!) but have not been brave enough to order without knowing how the waist, hip, and thigh areas fit.
