Rein it in

H&M continues to be the most annoying place to shop. When I spied another blogger wearing this horse print top, I fell in love with it. I then went hunting for it and searched three different H&Ms (in three different states!) before I finally found it.

But I like it. And a lot of other people like it too. I got two compliments on it! None from my Sister however, who gave me the "You are seriously going to wear that in public?" look when I victoriously waved it in her face.

    hehehe I think it's a cute top! I can't believe you have 3 H&Ms near you! Oh how I wish I was that lucky, I love the booties too. =)

    I like that top. The H&M near me is always crowded and poorly organized.

    OMG you got to wear shorts today? You must have had way nicer weather. Jealous. The only way I'm going to be doing shorts and a blazer is with this season is with tights :(

    I think it's a gorgeous top!!! An animal print top is on my list of things to get after my shopping ban! Shopping at H&M and F21 can be super exhausting and annoying, especially when I see something online and CANNOT find it in the store. Good thing you found this one!

    I love the sunset and the outfit, you look amazing in these pictures ! I have a similar top, but with a bird pattern. My bf gave me a "seriously ? you're wearing that ?"-look when I bought it, but I love it and people love it, so who cares :D

    i think i would have traveled far and wide for a blouse that cute, too. h&m is kind of annoying, but they have such cute & affordable stuff!

    I went crazy looking for this shirt too! I found it at my local H&M ONCE and thought i would get it later - haven't seen it since :(

    it looks amazing on you though, especially with those shorts :)

    I'm like that with Zara. I'll spy a cute new something on another blogger and will never ever be able to find it at my local store. So glad they have online shopping now - wish H&M would get on with it too!

    I love the top, but I did laugh at your description of your sister's reaction. It sounds like something my sister would say to me!
    I wish I had an H&M near me. The closest is at least 250 miles away (and, based on your experience, even if I made the trip there would be no guarantee that they would have the item I was looking for!)

    I really like the dressy shorts.

    I have those exact same shoes! They were one of six pairs that Lisa from http://sentimentalistlisa.blogspot.com/ sent home with me when I visited her in September.

    It's really cute. I can't believe you sister didn't love it too. I really avoid H&M but I too find myself in there every now and again. And it's usually because another blogger found something that I have to own. ha.

    I like the horse print blouse! I find h&m an annoying place to shop. It's so crowded and busy plus I don't have one near me and only get to go when traveling... and by that time the good stuff's one and sizes are all picked over. For some reason I find F21 easier to shop at.

    I was in a horse print mood this week too, so of course I'm a fan. I had a couple of students who thought it was weird. One asked, "so, do you like horses?" Anyway, I love the blouse, especially with those shorts!

    I almost wore my Madden Girl booties today! Did you get yours at TJ Maxx, too? Talk about a maddening place to shop!
