Shopping Adventures - YouLookFab Forum

Hi!

As a celebration for handing up of my dissertation, I went clothes shopping for the first time in the a few months. The only aim of this shopping trip was that I didn't spend more than €100 and that I bought some new camisoles.

The first stop was Vero Moda, a Swedish chain store, where I bought one grey and one black camisole. There also were harem pants there which I tried on for laughs. It was hilarious- a look I'll be avoiding anyway unless I decide to dress up as MC Hammer for Halloween.

After this success and hilarity, I went to H&M where they were running a buy two items, get one free offer. So off I went around H&M trying anything that caught my eye. I ended up buying two wrap dresses and another waistcoat! I only have photos of the two dresses at the moment.

They are both the same cut and hit above my knee. When I was trying on the second dress, I had a funny feeling that I had seen it on a YLFer before.

So are they keepers or should I return them?

Both dresses look great on you, definitely keep them. A couple of ladies here have that second one, and I am planning to get it too

Wow, those dresses look fab on you! Definite keepers!

I really like the second one on you, but I'm not so sure about the first one. The printed one is fab!

KEEP! They both score perfect 10's. You are SO CUTE.

They look great! Yup, you've seen the second dress on YLF before. I think it was Eva who bought it first (if I remember correctly?), and I loved it on the picture she posted and so I bought it, too!

Keep them.

I wish there was a H&M store here.

I love the striped dress on you. You are so curvey.

You look marvellous in wrap dresses Dawn! The striped one is my personal favourite;-)

Love them both, I haven't met someone that doesn't look great in a wrap!

Add me to the list of YLFers that own the print one! Hahah It's definitely the mascot clothing piece of the moment

You look great Dawn!

Kendra - I don't look good in a wrap - I think you need a reasonable waist/bust difference to fill them out. My 5 inches difference (28"/33") isn't enough. I think Angie backed me up on this! (I love the look on others though)

Both look great on you, but I especially like the first dress. The way the striped pattern hits you when it drapes around your waist is so flattering.

Congratulations on finishing your dissertation!

They both look great. I gotta get me a wrap dress. I SOO wish H&M was closer to me!

Oh I meant to say congrats too! I can well remember the relief I felt on handing in my dissertation!

Kristen

Keep keep keep! Both are so cute.

I wish you had taken photos of the harem pants. Hee!

KirstenKP: I really should have taken a photo but I didn't have my camera with me that morning.

Thanks everyone, I'm keeping both dresses. I wore the blue one on a date with my boyfriend last night and he loved it.
