H&M Black and White Houndstooth Pencil Skirt

 H&M houndstooth pencil skirt – size 2 {style #060220 – #24.95}
I wanted to share this in case you don’t have Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Remember the houndstooth skirt and blazer from last season?  They now have the black/white houndstooth pencil skirt available and it fits like a glove. No tailoring necessary which is always a huge plus. It’s fully lined and comes with a black faux leather  skinny belt. I highly recommend it. I took it home with me and already am pairing it with my new top.  H&M has brought back the houndstooth brown pencil skirt and matching blazer from last year but with a few tweaks. This year’s pencil skirt has darker buttons and a braided belt (sorry no pic). The blazer does not have the elbow patches (looks like this one but in the same houndstooth pattern as last year). The biggest difference is the length of the skirt. Last years version, I had to take up the hem- it was super long. Thankfully this year- fits perfectly. 
Measurements:
Waist laying flat across: 11 3/4″
Hips: 16″
Length: 20.5″
I also stopped in Forever 21 to do some returns and spotted this blush faux leather pencil skirt. I have been looking for a leather or faux leather pencil skirt but have not had any luck. I took this home to see if I can slim the sides or not. I saw a cute polka dot with neckerchief that has potential if anyone is in the market for this type of blouse.
I swung in Ann Taylor to see if there were any random 00P’s (so mad they stopped carrying this size in stores) on the sale racks – sometimes I get lucky and yesterday I did! The gorgeous red crepe cowl  neck shell was on sale and in 00P (must have been a return). It was about $20 after the 30% off. The mini dot short sleeve top w/bow to the left was so cute but I’ll have to order online when it goes on further sale. 
Did you find anything this weekend?
