Since I had such a positive response with my Lulu’s affordable try on haul, I decided to do one more. You voted on my Instagram stories and H&M won.
I’m enjoying these affordable fashion hauls as I want to show my audience that quality doesn’t always equal a higher price tag. You can find items at H&M, Zara, Lulu’s, and more that will last season after season just by being selective with what you purchase.
Tailoring and fabric are where it’s at.
I will admit that I haven’t shopped at H&M in years as I felt the quality wasn’t worth it. After this order, I can tell you that I have happily changed my mind.
However, my only negative comment is that I found the sizing to be quite off and vary from item to item. I suggest following the site’s sizing calculator recommendations to find the best fit – it was pretty accurate.
I ranged anywhere from an XXS to S.
If you’re looking to purchase any of these H&M items I will include my sizing and overall thoughts below! I hope this helps you change your mind that quality doesn’t always mean expensive. You may have to dig a little bit harder at these high street brands, but you can truly find some quality wardrobe staples that will make you look like a million bucks.
Check out these affordable summer outfits you’ll be living in this season!
SIZING NOTES:
+ I’m 5’3″ tall
+Typically wear a size US 2; XS or S
+ I ordered anywhere from an XXS to S
H&M Summer Try-On Haul
OUTFIT DETAILS// Ruffle-Trimmed Dress | Pink Wide Belt | Round Straw Bag | Castañer Espadrilles (fits TTS, size 37)
Wearing a size S in the dress, but should have ordered an XS! It’s quite low-cut but really breezy on those hot days. It would also work great as a pool or beach coverup.
OUTFIT DETAILS// Puff Sleeve Dress (also available in black) | Hereu Woven Bag | Hermes Sandals (fits TTS, size 37, Hermes dupe) | BaubleBar Button Earrings
Wearing a size S in the dress, but fits more like an XS! The great thing is you can go sans bra in this dress.
OUTFIT DETAILS// Floral Smock Dress | French Basket Tote | Castañer Espadrilles (fits TTS, size 37)
Wearing a size S in the dress and is incredibly comfortable. My woven tote is from Etsy and is the newest “it” bag for this season.
OUTFIT DETAILS// Linen Midi Dress | Simon Miller Handbag | Hermes Sandals (fits TTS, size 37, Hermes dupe)
Wearing a size XS in the dress and fits perfectly! It is a much more affordable version of my Reformation linen dress that I’ve worn over and over again.
OUTFIT DETAILS// Cotton Puff Sleeve Blouse | Black Cropped Jeans | Gold Metallic Mules | Floral Knot Headband | Round Straw Bag
Wearing a size XS in the top and fits perfectly! The top is cropped so it will work best for high waisted bottoms or those who have a shorter torso.

You rock the floral dresses! I love shopping inside of H&M stores but haven’t done so for a long time sadly.

Thank you so much! I’ve been doing only online shopping too since COVID. Maybe we can enter into the stores soon 🙂
That floral puff sleeved dress is so pretty!
