Sorry I have been MIA for the past several days….just got back from visiting my family in the Midwest!!! If I haven’t responded to emails or post questions, I will tomorrow!!:) I was really excited to shop at different places other than where I live. Here is an outfit for under $50 at H & M I put together:
Skirt: H & M- size 2 $29.95 (similar HERE)
Necklace: H & M $12.95 (similar HERE)
Shoes: Aldo Taupe Patent- size 35 (similar HERE)
Tiny skirt alert!! This skirt runs really small! It fits me perfectly but I could have sized up if I wanted to. I like how fitted it is and the waist fit snug without being too tight. It’s hard to tell by the lighting but the outfit is PEACH. The skirt has a really pretty texture which you will see a close-up of!
I was really hoping to get tons of goodies going back home but I was really disappointed! I think it may have to do with the timing of the season. I normally go home in early June but this year I had to wait until late August which all the cute Summer clothes are now gone.
I love this necklace! It’s a ribbon necklace so you can adjust the length but I wanted to incorporate it with the tank so it looks like it’s part of the tank. I thought it went well with the plain tank and textured skirt. And for the price of this outfit- which I love myself a good bargain, I was quite pleased!
Here you can see more of the skirt….
I had to hurry because the sun was going down…LOL
I wanted to do one last Summery outfit before Fall fashion hits…I prefer Summer/Spring clothes rather than Fall/Winter.
Here the outfit looks white but it’s not!
Ah ha! More of my backyard….I’m testing out my new tripod!
Below is a close-up of the necklace so you can see the details…soo pretty!
And here is the skirt texture and color….its much prettier in person and in different lighting.
I am trying to catch up on all the blogs so sorry I haven’t been commenting on anyone’s. I hope to catch up in the next day or two!!! Sorry this is such a short post- in a big hurry again!! That’s all from me! I am very much looking forward to Labor Day weekend shopping!!!
I love the outfit! The skirt looks really pretty and I love how the textures differ from the necklace to the shirt to the skirt, but they're all the same color palette. Also, if I haven't mentioned it before, your backyard is gorgeous!!
You look fantastic! Lovely colors you put together. I just bought a size 2 skirt from H&M as well, and it's TIGHT!! Now I want to go to H&M at lunch and try on that skirt ~ great texture and color!
Gorgeous skirt!!! I love the color and the texture. I need to get myself to a H&M right away.
love the outfit. fits your super well and the color is so pretty on you! the skirt's texture is really unique too. i wished i wore more skirts or else i would definitely buy that!
Wow love this outfit. That necklace is so cute an I love the texture of the skirt. LOL I want to get that skirt too – maybe this will be the next item all the petites have? 😉
You look so pretty! When I first glanced at your pics, I thought you had on a necklace tank from the Loft. The necklace is beautiful and it really makes the outfit. I don't have an H&M where I live, but I'm looking forward to shopping there when I go out of town this weekend. 🙂
I love the light tone of this outfit, so pretty. I really like the texture in the skirt too……and all for under $50.00 Great deal!
I love the necklace layered with the basic tank. That's something I never would've thought about. The texture of the skirt really stands out too.
Love the textured skirt! So cute!
This is an absolutely gorgeous outfit, and all for under $50.00! I haven’t shopped at H&M in such a long time, but it looks like I need to get back there quickly. What a fabulous back yard you have, totally jealous!
I love it! You look great.
So feminine. I love this outfit. The color works great on you. And we have more views of your backyard, and the pool. 🙂 Can't help but notice the brown hill in the background. That's what I *don't* miss about California. 🙂
Great outfit! I like how neutral the palette is, even the necklace. Hope you had a great time visiting family!
Such a great outfit! I love the touch of the necklace. I actually thought it was a dress. Good job!
Uhh..I am loving this outfit! By looking at the 1st pic, I thought it was a dress because the color are matched up so well. Great finds! Glad you had a great time visiting your family.
You look great! I never, ever, EVER would have picked up a necklace like that, but you make it look so beautiful. I thought it was part of the tank until I read your entry. Good work on this outfit! I don't shop at H&M, but I may have to start soon.
Your figure is just PERFECTION! I am soo jealous! Everything looks insanely GORGEOUS on you as always! Those earrings look fantastic on you!!! 🙂
Thanks ladies! You guys are too kind!!!
@curls-and-pearls- this skirt could very well be the next item seen on all the petite blogs! I hope so!! 🙂
@April- you are way too sweet!!! You are making me blush 🙂
You could wear rags and you'd still look great! You are curvy and slim where it needs to be…I love that F21 ruffle dress and AE dress. Is it that warm where you are? It's 6pm here and I already need a sweater and pants in our non-sunny backyard.
So cute! I especially *love* your necklace – just gorgeous!
I always tend to the run to the safe side and go for black but this inspires me to try neutrals, its just as sexy. You look amazing!

@canadianpetite- Thanks so much! You are so sweet to say that! I doubt that is true but thank you:) It is warm where I live which I love because I prefer Summery clothes over sweaters and boots! 🙂
I found the necklace but couldn't find the skirt. No matter…here in WestCoast Canada, the light pink would look too summery with the blacks and blacks that everyone seems to wear. (Sigh)
@Canadianpetite- yay for the necklace! But that is sad about the skirt. And why does everyone where only blacks in Canada? I would be so depressed..LOL
