good life (for less)

I have an EPIC sweater for you to try on today ... all from H&M and under $ 40. I mean ... the prices here are so good and so are the sweaters. I think H&M makes sweaters really, really well. I love their modern simplicity, the versatile colors and the prices for great quality just can't be beat. These sweaters are all comparable to Nordstrom, J.Crew or Madewell, but in most cases at half the price.

I have a couple of H&M pieces from last winter that I can barely wear again this fall and winter. I think it's great that the parts can withstand several seasons. Don't let the prices here fool you on the quality ... somehow they BOTH get it right. Today I have some great fall sweaters that I styled in two ways ... I made sure to include lots of leggings and some joggers in addition to the fall standby denim. I think many of us will continue to enjoy our leggings this season, so I wanted to introduce the sweaters that go well with the athleticism this fall.










Thoughts: I love that. The fabric is super soft and stretchy without itching. The length and the side slit are perfect for combining with jeans or leggings. This is just a great classic coat rack for a really cheap price.






Size: I reduced one size to XS. It's going great.






Keep or return? That's a keeper! Simple and classic.







Buy the look:


















Thoughts: I got the size wrong in this case and I'm totally amazed by it. It's so cute, but too small. I love this top for fall. You can wear it as a cardigan or sweater. It has a classic feel to it while it's very modern right now. The fabric is very nice and soft.






Size: I have and XS and it's too small. I think a smaller one would be perfect.






Keep or return? Return because it's too small. However, reordering the correct size could be worthwhile!







Buy the look:


















Thoughts: I love that. So cute and cozy and it's a much cheaper version of the Free People option that I got at the NSale that is now sold out. It's available in tons of colors and so beautiful.






Size: I went small with my usual size.






Keep or return? I'll keep it and probably send the expensive FP sweater back - or keep both;) we'll see.







Buy the look:


















Thoughts: Another Big Winner! I literally carried it on after trying it on and wore it all day yesterday. It's perfectly light and cozy at the same time. It also works great with leggings or joggers (see below).






Size: I reduced one size to XS in this case. It's going great.






Keep or return? To keep! I think I can grab this one in black too ... you'll see why below.







Buy the look:


















Thoughts: This is not a winner. I like the idea and the cut is great, but the fabric is weird and it's all wrong. I wanted an oversized black sweater, but this is not the right one. I think I can order the beige sweater above in black instead.






Size: I reduced one size to size XS.






Keep or return? Return. I'm amazed because I like the idea of ​​this sweater. but not the way it works with the fabric.







Buy the look:


















Thoughts: This is a very similar soft and stretchy fabric to the gray and beige sweaters above. It's a beautiful piece. I love the dolman sleeves and length. Plus the front is nice and flat with no pockets. I like bags, but there are advantages to not having them. It goes great with jeans and leggings. Overall, this is a SUPER versatile piece for fall.






Size: I reduced one size in this one to XS. It's definitely going great.






Keep or return? I try to choose as I have a similar cardigan, but also ... you can never have too many cardigans!







Buy the look:


















Thoughts: I'm 50/50 in the felt / wool hat trend. But I really like this one because I feel like it's not too big. I'll have to try a few times to get used to it and hopefully I'll find 6 ways to style it soon.






Size: I went with a small size.






Keep or return? I still decide! In general I like it. I just have to decide if I'll wear it ...

When buying my wardrobe, versatility is important to me. When I know I can't carry a part in multiple ways, I rarely add it to my closet. Some pieces will stand out as the type that you can literally wear a million ways and when I saw it this striped sweater I knew it was one of them! While I usually try to style a piece in 6 ways, today is a quick styling session with just three outfits. But I know the potential for this striped sweater has a lot more outfits. I love the tunic length of this sweater - goes great with leggings - and it's lightweight so the look and layers look great in summer and the weather cools down too. It is also available in countless colors, both striped and solid, depending on the style! I went for small with my usual size this sweater . It fits the size accordingly. Let's take a look at the outfits ... don't worry about all that school junk on the table. This is life nowadays! From blue jeans for a casual work from home or leggings for...

It's that time again! Time for another 6 ways to style ... I'll take a cabinet clip and design it in 6 ways to give you lots of ideas for simple outfits. I'm just trying to buy items that I know I can wear in a variety of ways, and this helps me visualize how versatile a piece can be - I hope it helps you do the same! Joggers are hot for fall this year, and while we've loved them for a while, they're especially relevant this fall as so many of us still work at home or stay home more than usual. They're so comfortable and fun to wear too! Today I'm designing a pair of joggers that I've had for a while. They are for sure my most worn pair! They were sold out forever, but they're back in stock so grab them now while they're around. This pair is true to size, I'm small in my usual size. Let's take a look at the outfits ... Outfit 1 (above) These joggers go great with a sweater jacket to spice up the look a little for work at home or jus...
