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)

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!!! :)
