New H&M Digs: Maison Martin Margiela x H&M Dress, Quilted Oxblood Top, and more.

One of the best stores to shop at for trendy clothes at a decent price is H&M.
Now if only you could order online...then it would be serious trouble for everyone's wallet.
I picked these up around the New Year, and they're some of my favorite new things.

1. Large statement necklace with a black, green, and yellow color combination.
This necklace warms my heart. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it, and apparently I wasn't the only one. I don't know if the sales associate was trying to spread some holiday cheer or what not, but she certainly gave me her employee discount for no reason...other than the fact she was really excited I was buying this necklace. #schwing. It was $35, which was a tad more than I'd normally pay for a necklace, but I mean, look at it.

2. Quilted oxblood top. 
Oxblood was a choice color this F/W. It's a rich, unusual, and a little harsh, but I love it. I really appreciated quilted things this season as well, so this top was the perfect mixture.

3. Maison Martin Margiela trompe l'oeil evening dress from S/S '96.
[Trompe l'oeil is the art of using realistic imagery to create a 3D illusion.] Anybody that follows this blog knows how I felt about the Maison Martin Margiela H&M collab: Hella excited. Finally got my hands on a piece of the collection (this is actually my second piece, but the first that I decided to keep. I got the bodysuit first) and I'm really happy about this choice. It's a floor length evening dress with the image of a grey sequins dress printed on it. And it's cool because you are indeed quite casual, but it looks hella fancy.  I like it because it's perfect for all weather and is versatile.

4. (Mens) Love + Regret color block tee 
While I was shopping it up, I grabbed a simple color-block tee for my boy. He keeps it quite fashionable too. So for the winter, this will most likely be paired with a zip up hoodie, maybe maroon or navy.

Outfit of the Day: Royal Blue Sweater and Color Blocked Thigh-Highs.

Old Navy royal blue sweater: I LOVE this color right now. I also appreciate that the sleeves are a little wide. It's funny because when I initially bought this sweater, I wasn't a big fan of the sleeves, but I've grown to like them.

Pink and white checkered readers with a bit of a cat eye. I've had these glasses for years, and I still wear them from time to time.

My color-block zip away boots are from an unknown origin. I bought them online from Ebay last year for a hell of a price that I just couldn't turn away. The pinks and reds are fun with the royal blue top. I feel like it keeps the eye interested without doing too much.

The necklace is one of my recent purchases that I got for only $5. It's the perfect amount of girly glitz.

Dope Shoe Alert: Color Blocked Blue Brogues.

I've been noticing a lot of color blocking with blues lately, and it makes sense, because blue is a really popular color this season. Aside from the blue, the cut out really makes this shoe what it is....the dopeness.
