Last week I ran into H&M for a return and I almost made it out the door until I saw this pearl embellished sweater at the front of the store. It was worth another wait in line! So back to the checkout I went. I’m wearing a small here, and I want to note that H&M recently changed their sizes to TTS in the American market. I’m still tempted to size up when ordering online, but so far I’ve had luck with my normal size.

Now let’s talk about these sparkly shoes. I was so excited to shop the Atlantic-Pacific line once it launched, but by the time I could browse it over my lunch break most of the items on my wish list sold out, except for these shoes. I expected them to feel stiff, as most glitter based products are because of the glue, but these flats are surprisingly comfortable. The straps are elastic, so getting them off and on is super easy. I love the little pearl detail! I’m wearing my normal size 8.

My jeans are a new find I discovered in my Express try on haul. I haven’t shopped there since undergrad but I found a lot of great pieces to add to my wardrobe. I threw over this fun pink coat I purchased from J. Crew two years ago during Black Friday, and it’s still a favorite in my wardrobe during Winter. It adds a little fun to my wardrobe during the less than colorful Winter months. I found a few similar pink coats here if you want to recreate the look
