H&M’s Garden Collection
 |
There’s a scene in Sherlock Holmes when Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) slinks off down an alley, and you realize the coat that she put on upon exiting Holmes’ flat is actually a kimono. Said scene reinforce my love of the kimono sleeve, dolman sleeve, bat-wing, and anything that isn’t a normal straight sleeve. So, when I saw this H&M dress on Refinery 29’s blog my heart pitter-pattered a little faster.
Not only do the sleeves meet my odd-shaped, long-enough-to-fall-in-my-soup standards, the dress itself is overwhelmingly cute with the watercolor flowers, wrap v-neck top, and short but not too short hemline. I can see myself walking around my university’s horticulturally impressive campus, this spring, with an extra pep in my step, knowing my dress is adorable. I could even go to one of Central Park’s summer concerts in it, evoking a very Woodstock vibe— shorts under shirts/dresses are a must at concerts. There are countless places I could wear this dress, and I won’t feel an ounce of remorse if I do buy it because not only did I pay H&M prices— under $60— but also, the dress itself is part of the store’s Spring 2010 Garden Collection and “are produced using sustainable, organic, and and recycled materials like PET bottles and textile waste.” |
