Fitting Room: H & M new arrivals

Lace2.jpg
Lace shift dress- size XS $34.95
Pros: Sleeves were my favorite part. I know I have enough lace to last me a lifetime but I could see this dress being very versatile (worn as a top/dress). Fit of an XS wasn't perfect but drapes nicely for a shift dress. I would probably belt it and add some pumps. Length is perfect for someone my height. 
Cons: Fit/sizing may be inconsistent but mine was okay.
Verdict: Bought!
Orange skirt - size 2 (sorry no tag- it was such a new item, they didn't even put tags on yet)
Pros: Material is a cotton type with a slight A-line cut. Fits really nicely in the waist.
Cons: I didn't see any! Super cute
Verdict: Passed only because I already have an orange skirt.
Long sleeve chiffon lace/pleated blouse- size 2 (item #045551) $29.95
Pros: I loved it when it was on the hanger! It's so romantic and love the lace and pleated detail. And the sleeves are so adorable.
Cons: Fit was awkward un-tucked. It's very wide and long (sorry I didn't capture it un-tucked).
Verdict: Passed but could look super cute on someone taller and bigger.
Sweater dress with belt- size XS (item #062668) $49.95
Pros: Fits really nicely and material is very cuddly and soft. Length is great and even can be paired with tights for Fall/Winter.
Cons: Low cut, will have to wear a cami or top underneath. Price tag a bit hefty.
Verdict: Pass

Hope this helps! I walked out with just the lace dress! Woo hoo! :)
