March 2019 Try-On: EXPRESS and H&M

loose knit striped spring sweater on Pinteresting Plans blog

Ok friends!   I hit the mall and dragged myself in and out of lots of outfits to get you the hits and  misses of the week.   Today I’m sharing a retailer I haven’t shared in quite awhile – H&M.   LOTS OF HITS from H&M right now and a few hits AND MISSES at Express.

The first retailer is Express.   They’re currently offering 40% OFF online purchases (they were not offering the same sales in store).    I found less at Express than I did at H&M.

EXPRESS TRY-ON MARCH 2019

express try on - cardigan and blush pink camisole Pinteresting Plans blog

Cardigan (XS) 40% OFF   |  Textured Cami (XS) 40% OFF   |  Jeans (true to size, size down if between) |  Similar Booties

express march 2019 try-on - wide leg jeans and mauve tank on Pinteresting Plans fashion blog

Tank (XS) 40% OFF  |  Wide Leg Jeans (true to size but tall wasn’t available in store)  40% OFF

** STYLE TIP: wide leg pants give the illusion of longer legs when worn with heels, so account for the length of the heels when you choose an inseam.   You want the pants to fall over your heels.  **

express sale try on march 2019 - belted white pants on Pinteresting Plans blog

These white pants were a MISS for me!!!!   The pockets showed through in the front and the long crotch….these were not flattering!!   The looked much worse in person.

Another miss – these blush work pants.   They were not flattering at the waist (extra material that added bulk and they were so wrinkly I can’t imagine what they’d be like after sitting in the car.   The mock neck tank top was nice but too form fitting for my personal comfort (wearing size small above).

express sale try on 2019 - open knit ivory cardigan and mock neck tank on Pinteresting Plans blog

This mock neck tank is very cute but it shows your figure like WHOA.   While the quality was good I wouldn’t feel something in something this form sitting (wearing small above) but I did like the open knit cardigan.  I sized up to a medium because I like an oversized fit.

Here’s what I wore to the mall….some affordable pieces I wear on the regular!

hm try on march 2019 - gray sweater - pinteresting plans blog

I know we’re all hoping it’s the end of “sweater weather” but this gray sweater would pair perfectly with a bralette and it’s under $25.   Wearing small you could pair this with jeans or shorts in Spring and Summer.

Wearing size small in this white ribbed knit top.  It’s on sale for $15 so most sizes are gone but it comes in 4 color options.

loose knit striped spring sweater on Pinteresting Plans blog

This loose knit striped sweater (wearing small) was probably my favorite piece of this try-on and it’s UNDER $20!!!!  The straw bag is also very cute and under $25.  HM also sells a similar bag that’s slightly bigger as well.

too oversized camel sweater on Pinteresting Plans blog

This camel sweater was the only miss of my HM try on.  I sized up, so that may have been the problem (this is the medium) but the sleeves were too bulky.   It looks really cute on the model layered over a white button down so maybe I shouldn’t have sized up.

hm try on - striped blazer on Pinteresting Plans blog

This striped blazer is so cute for spring (wearing size 2) and such a great price.   I cannot find the tank top online but it was $5 in store!

 

That’s a wrap!   Hope you all have a great weekend.   I’ll be indulging myself in corned beef and cabbage.
