H&M Garden Collection: All About the Ruffles and Sleeves

I know I'm kind of late to hop on this bandwagon, but I've been infatuated with the H&M Garden Collection from the beginning. I'm not really big on florals but I realize that they actually work pretty well on me. Since I had that 20% off entire purchase lovely coupon from PetiteAsianGirl, I went to try some of the new products out. Now I'm just waiting for the sales hahaha :D They're a bit pricey for my liking, but I'm sure anyone with steady income can afford them easily.

All photos are property of H&M.

Here are a few pieces that caught my eye:

This elegant butterfly sleeve top is nice and loose, fluttery, and really does have the coolest sleeves. This picture doesn't quite do it justice. Now I can pour tea elegantly hahaha. The shorts are pretty expensive but are super cute with the ruffles. They look perfect for walking by the beachside or going anywhere in Cali for that matter.

Top: $29.95 USD (I could get it for $24 with that coupon. Liveable)

Shorts:$29.95 USD

 

This dress has really pretty fluttery sleeves. I'm all about the sleeves! I'll try to sneak some photos in the dressing room in case I go shopping again this weekend to exchange/return some stuff I didn't like.

Dress: $19.95 (not bad)

The ruffles of this dress are kind of strange. They extend all the way down the side. When I saw that in the store I thought it was so strange and would never work but it seems to look great on the model.

Dress: $17.95 USD (quite affordable :D)

 I like this collection so much because of all the flutter, not body-hugging loose fun summery styles. This top is no exception - it features cool sleeves and embroidery. Last but not least, can I get a what what for SCALLOP HEMS?! They're the hottest trend and most classy I think of this entire season.

Top: $24.95 USD

There was a cute shirt at H&M that looked like this. Not sure if it was from the Garden Collection but it was a nice pretty bright blue and sheer. I would have gotten it if it were a little less pricey. Again, ruffles and sleeves.

Top: $19.95 USD

A pretty peasant top. Looks flattering for all body shapes.

Top: $17.95 USD

And what's summer without a good sturdy pair of shorts? Everything about this screams "lady." Match this with a pair of high heels and you're good to show off those beautiful legs. 

Shorts: $24.95 USD

Of course this is not the entirety of the collection. There is the ever popular kimono dress, the red rose blazer, but they don't really tickle my fancy.

Have you purchased anything from this collection? Tell me what your favourite pieces are :D
