Dress: H&M, can’t find it online, love this similar one / Clutch: H&M / Shoes: M. Gemi, almost identical / Earrings: Bauble Bar, almost identical

I hope your week is going well!  Do you have those stores that you just don’t shop at?  The ones you don’t even bother to go in since you know that you won’t find anything there?  H&M has long been that store for me.  Even though I have found 1 or 2 things at H&M in the past, I almost never go in anymore.   Anyway, I wandered in a few weekends ago when I had some time to kill and was very pleasantly surprised at how many cute things there were!  My wallet may not have been so happy.  After all, $20-$30 items can add up quickly!

One of my favorite things I found is this black ruffle dress.  Unfortunately, I can’t find it online, but my store had quite a few sizes left.  The fabric is substantial, the ruffles are darling, and it has pockets!  Pretty much, everything I want in a dress right now.  I’ve styled it here for a wedding, but I can’t wait to wear it with flats and a jean jacket for a night out with friends.  This clutch is also a great find at under $20.  My mom ran out to buy it after shooting these pictures, lol!

That shopping trip was a great reminder that great things can happen when I step outside of my normal routine.  Do you have any stores that you have recently discovered/rediscovered?

Oh, and J. Crew is having an extra 40% off sale with HELLOSALE.  There are some great deals on jewelry and summer items.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
