Hey dolls! So on my quick day trip up to Toronto this past Friday to help one of my closest friends find her prom dress, we had a few hours to kill before going to our dinner reservation so we decided to hit up the nearby H&M. Anyways, H&M has this new collection called "Fashion Against Aids". If you buy a piece of clothing from this collection 25% of the purchase is donated towards HIV/AIDS prevention projects and education. The pieces from this collection are quite unique and are to die for! I mean look at this jacket from the collection! This jacket is indeed from the Fashion Against Aids collection and I absolutely ADORE it! I love the tribal print and the bold colors in the print stand out beautifully. This jacket is definitely going to be a spring/summer favorite especially on those breezy summer nights.
So on to the whole outfit, since the jacket is such a bold piece I decided to tone it down with a white tank, some high waisted pants and black and gold sandals. But I did want to be even more bold and a bit daring by adding a bright teal necklace and a neon yellow belt. I thought it added a nice touch to the outfit since it'd look like of plain and regular with just the jacket, tank and pants. Plus, I don't think an outfit is ever complete without some cute accessories. I did find a hard time matching a bag with this outfit, which I was really upset about but I guess that just means I have to update my bag collection! MORE SHOPPING YAY! Once I find a perfect bag to go with this, I'll probably do an outfit repeat or an outfit modification since I love it so much. I kept my general look simple by putting my hair in a high bun and I had minimal make-up on which was a bit odd for me. Anyways, more details below about where everything came from :)
Enjoy!
