Fantastic finds.

It's amazing the damage you could do in a lunch break, when you've mastered the art of speed shopping. Thankfully, I was able to weed through the racks upon racks of great stuff at H&M and come out on top... with only making a baby dent in my wallet.  

First up was the skirt. Silky underneath with a shear overlay, this skirt is the perfect mix of dressy and practical. The length hits close to the knee, making it perfect for work or otherwise. Likewise, the draped front helps hide a tummy [SCORE]. Did I mention this was clearanced down to a measly $7!?

Second, was a great lightweight sweater. The coloring is fall-tastic and neutral enough to look great with all of my colored dress pants. The fine knit, makes it suitable for any season.

Planned accessory pairings: Chunky jeweled earrings (great options from Charlotte Russe - here and here)... with high heels or leggings and black boots.
