'Imitate The Action Of The Tiger'


My usual lunchtime wanderings led me quite randomly into H&M where there on the rack was this awesome shirt dress on sale for $20! Much to my happiness since the equivalent (below) I was eyeing from T by Alexander Wang is holding steady at $210.

Well, I decided to forgo my usual cupcake-a-day for a week and buy the dress!  And, might I add, it's a pretty good imitation!

What I'm Wearing:
Dress: H&M
Bag: Alexander Wang Diego
Shoes: Victoria's Secret
Earrings: Etsy
Rings: YSL

    you are amazing but also amazingly lucky girl! :D
    I'd also say that the h&m version looks much more comfortable and easy to wear everyday.. a.wang one is too long imo.

    love the background of your photos btw.. ;)

    Am I daring to much if I say that I like your H&M imitation better than the original??
    And this time I can also say that I have that YSL arty ring:-))
    Still no luck with the previous one though!

    I love that dress! It's very simple, you could definitely wear it a lot of different ways. And what a great deal! Your sandals are pretty amazing too. Gotta love the fringe. And my goodness, are those SPIDERS on your earrings? Way too freakin' cool. I love spiders! I just recently bought a spider bracelet. :)
