It's no secret that I've purchased a good 40% of my new Fall wardrobe from H&M!  They've revamped their designs, and they're channeling the designs from premier designers like you wouldn't believe!  I do have a dilemma.  I really love these pants, but they're only 1/2 lined up to the knees.  The price is unbelievable, $49.95, but they are a blend consisting primarily of wool, so below the knees?  It's slightly itchy, should I keep them and kindly ask my mom to add in the rest of the lining, or return them?  They're a dead ringer for these bank hitting pants by Stella McCartney...check it out here, can you tell the difference?

  1. Love the cutout in the back. Peplum is so flattering! You should keep the pants and enlist your mom to line the rest of them.

  8. Ehh.. I can't spend a penny at H&M anymore. Ever since I discovered affordable Valentino on eBay I'm very apprehensive of spending money anywhere but the closeout rack. Half-lined is just a half assed job - I'd take offense and not buy at all. Though the pattern and color are gorgeous, I say return based on the incomplete lining. I do love the peplum top though. It's pricey but it looks well made and it fits you well.

    P.S - run to eBay seller BHFO (they recently changed their name from bhexpress); I just bought $40 Marc by MJ trousers, shipping included and tags still attached!

  11. Fantastic! Love that top, and love how you've styled it all...Great jewellery...In our country H&M opened last year for the first time, so everyone is wearing everything from H&M, which basicaly means that all Croatia is walking around dressed up in same way. Unfortunatelly. I adore H&M, and I am so very sorry that it came here because I cannot buy there any more, except for underware and some basics1 When that H&M insanity stops a little bit, than I will buy more clothes there again...Ilina

  24. The top is amazing on you. Even though I think the pant looks awesome on you, I think you can find a better pair that has lining.

    ReplyDelete

  25. If you're mom is able to add lining, by all means, keep them. They look pretty amazing on you and I love the edginess of the whole outfit. By the way, I think you might have the best shoe collection. Ever.

  31. I really like your peplum top, but if you don't feel comfortable in the pants I'd return them. But you sound like you really love em, so keep 'em! We aren't ones to tell you what to do haha. Seems like everyone likes them anyways!

  33. That top is so pretty!

  34. If you love them, I say keep them. I'm sure your mom can easily work her magic. Really loving the cutout on your top.

    ReplyDelete

  35. My first thought in scrolling through the pictures was don't change a thing. But if the pants are itchy, something has to change. I'm guessing fully lined wool would not be too hot for Chicago, so as others have said, if you really like them...

  36. I ADORE that peplum top, Bessie! The cutout in the back is just icing on the cake :)

  37. The back cut out is fabulous on that top, Bessie! I think if you love the pants, keep them and have your mom sew in the lining. If you don't love them, return them.

  44. If you really love the pants then I say keep them. Obviously your mom is a wiz with the sewing machine so she could probably have your itchy problem fixed in minutes. ;)

  52. WOW, that peplum with the belt is absolutely amazing! I love your sunnies too! At first, I was going to say return them---that adding lining would be a pain but then I followed your link and they are so close to the Stella pants that maybe you should look away when you ask your mom to add lining!! But seriously, c'mon H&M....finish the pants!! Let us know what you decide to do!

    ReplyDelete

  53. great top! i love that first picture!

    ReplyDelete

  54. Well, I love, love, love that top!!! I've been seeing that look everywhere lately, and it fits you perfectly. However. Those pants. Hmmm....while I can't really tell the difference from Stella McCartney's design, after hearing about the lining, I just don't think they're worth it. I've seen a lot of straight leg pants with similar designs in Express and VS for a pretty good deal. This is one time I'm going to have to say, return them. This is a very popular at the moment, so I'm confident that you'll find a similar look minus the hassle.

    Toodles for now,

  56. I'm really liking H&M right now too. I plan on getting a nice sweater from there soon. Loving your cut out peplum top.

  57. Look at your rocking three trends at once! Keep the pants - I love them! Ask your mom for help and reward her nicely when she's done :)

  60. I'm not a fan for the pants. I also say do what make you happy b/c you are the one who is wearing it. I love the top.

  61. As usual, my favourite part of the outfit are the accesories ^^ I really liked how you put so many things together but they don't clash, they complement each other, just amazing xx

  63. What a gorgeous top!

    I would say if you really love the print of these pants than beg your mom to line the rest of the pants. I rarely buy wool pants, they itch me even if they are lined.

  71. I just love that peplum top. it's perfect and especially when combined with the classy belt. oh and all those metallic accessories are fierce!
    when it comes to those pants you have to be sure if those are the perfect ones or not.. I think they're nice to watch but not too practical. that's just my opinion of course.

Ok Bessie, now you're making me regret my decision; I(Bisola) bought this peplum and the the Zara(leather) ones the same day, after thinking for sooo long lol, I returned this:(.....Totally love it on you, and the belt with it - OHMY, great touch! The pants look great on, I'd say keep it and have your Mom add the lining.
