What my $100 can buy at H&M

What my $100 can buy at H&M

SHOP THE POST:

SWEATER/ JEANS/ SHOES/ BAG

I have been wanting to do a blog post about different stores and see what I can buy with my $100 on them. I will start of with the stores that I already shop. If y’all know me one of my go to store is H&M and last year that have announced that they change their sizing to cater to US sizes. I used to be medium but with the new sizing I am now small. To me it is now similar to Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic.

So now let me talk about this outfit that I came up with. So these items total including the shipping and handling came about to $96 I still have $4 to buy me a scrunchie or something. This style I can wear now and into Spring, to make this appropriate for Winter is just to add one of the jackets or coats you already have in your closet.

This is a very chic look to start of the New Year and you can never go out of style with black and polka dots. I am thinking of wearing this oversized white long puffer coat. I think this will really look good put together.

I am actually looking for one to myself but the one I was eyeing on at Boohoo, they don’t have my size anymore. Check out the long puffer coat I posted here last year. You might want to add this to your wardrobe.

Also if you’d be so kind to let me know in the comment section what you want to see on my blog this year. I am thinking of putting up all the workout wear next week that are on sale. Thank you all so much for stopping by. Happy New Year again!

Simply,

These styles will surely make your New Year start with glam. The Jumpsuit among all of these is my favorite. I am a sucker for jumpsuits even though it is a chore when you need to use the restroom. The details on this jumpsuit is so pretty specially the sleeves and is also very comfy for Winter.

The second look is the sequin dress. This is another very easy style for all the ladies that loves to wear dress like me. You are one and done as I always say. I am wearing a pretty generic shoes on all of them which is my go to the ankle strap shoes. I believe every lady should own a pair in different color like black and beige. You can always pair them with everything!

Last but not the least, to a more chic and casual style is this sequin top. I just threw in a pair of black jeans and the ankle strap heels and viola! I am party ready. This is for all the ladies who doesn’t like dress and jumpsuits that much. Check out below for other sequin top options.

Our First Christmas Card

Our First Christmas Card

SHOP OUR LOOKS HERE:

Our First Christmas Card

Why did I call this our First Christmas Card? Every year since I started blogging. It became a tradition that we dress up and we pick a spot in the house for photo shoot. But I never make it into a Christmas card. It has always been a digital copy only that I use on my personal Facebook to greet our family and friends. This year , since we are now a family of 5 plus Mojo our dog so 6. I decided we can do this every year then.

I wanted to post the picture of the finish product of the Christmas card but it did not arrive on the expected delivery date. It actually got shipped on the supposed to be date of delivery. So I will update this post once I receive them so I can show them all to you.

As for the theme, I just thought of a plaid party for us since all my kids already own it. My husband and I plus my in laws just went to the thrift store and got ours from there.

Also, I though about Adi and I wearing cowboy boots and since we have this cabin like part of the house. I set it up like this so it will be more looking like our theme. Kinda like a farm house and I just added all these Christmas decorations like the Little Christmas tree, galvanized buckets.

How about you? Do you always do Christmas cards or no? Do you have any family traditions that you do every year? Also in case you did not see the last year’s family photo… it is here.

Thank you so much and y’all have a wonderful week ahead.
