Outfit: Magda Butrym x H&M Floral Appliquéd Hourglass Lace Dress ($219). Magda Butrym x H&M Lace Triangle Scarf With Floral Appliqué ($45). Magda Butrym x H&M Transparent-Strap Mules With Rose Appliqué ($219)
"I look forward to H&M's collaborations because the designer brand DNA consistently shines through, and this collection with Magda Butrym is no different. The quality of the dress and triangle scarf in particular can be felt just by the weight alone, and the texture of the appliqué work is intricate and highly detailed. While the straps on the dress are thin, they're sturdy, and the boning on the bodice and throughout the skirt provides structure without affecting comfort.
Of course, the special part of this look is the story of the rose, which ends full stop with the shoes. I love this combination because the pink flower on the heel adds an undeniable pop, but the pink shade is soft and romantic. I'm not always a fan of PVC and will admit that the shape of the strap across the top of the shoe didn't hold my foot in place as securely as I would have liked, but the fashion statement alone was enough to keep me standing." — Sarah Wasilak, associate director, Shopping
