As soon as the temperature drops, my daily tendency is to curl up in my comfiest sweatshirt [1] and be a homebody. But I'm always fighting it because for one, fall fashion is my favourite, and I enjoy the challenge of keeping my sartorial standards high despite the chilly weather.
In my never-ending quest to find pieces that will make braving the cold and dressing up at home fun, I looked through 700+ products on H&M [2]. As expected, I found a fashionable array of affordable pieces, from ribbed knit tops to flowy dresses, perfect as layering basics or polished ensembles for impromptu date nights [3]. Join me for a little retail therapy.
