August is a tricky time to shop for clothes because I feel pulled in two vastly different directions. On one hand, I need to dress for scorching temperatures, which will only increase here in Los Angeles over the next eight weeks. If the bombardment of back-to-school ads is any indication, however, fall is coming quickly, and retailers are already readying their sweater arsenals. What’s a girl to do? Well, I decided I’m going to have a finger in both pies, thank you very much.
Right now, I’m shopping for both warm-weather pieces that will help me cling on to the end of summer, and fall-ready buys to prepare my closet in advance. (Plus, items that can easily work for both seasons). Join me, won’t you? Below, I rounded up my favorite new arrivals from H&M. My list includes several pieces from H&M’s highly anticipated collab with Wardrobe.NYC, which I first previewed on Who What Wear’s Instagram a few weeks ago. The collab isn’t available to purchase until Thursday, August 6 at 10 a.m. EDT, but I figured I’d help you get a head start on your wish list so you’re ready to pull the trigger the moment it launches.
