Winter Blues

A note on sizing for the H&M ankle boots I'm wearing today. I bought it online and went with my usual sz 6. I received a 37 in the mail when I was expecting a 36. I'm guessing sz 5.5 is the one that translates to a 36. It worked out for me because the 37 is perfect with socks. I don't think H&M carries half sizing, so 36 probably would have been a bit too tight. Long story short, I'd say the boots run half size small, or size up to wear with socks.

  1. Great boots! You always know how to find the gems at H&M - my head always kind of spins when I go there, I don't know where to start!

    1. Haha, it's just luck. I find browsing online much less overwhelming... though stores usually carry more inventory, but I'll take the tradeoff :)

  3. A winter vest in on my shopping list...now I have some inspiration. :) The vest looks nice with the collar popped over it.

    Love the torn off tape look in the new header, btw. :)

    1. Haha I only popped the collar because the shirt was lying funny otherwise. Completely unintentional but I'll take it!

      PS - Gotta give Madewell all the credit for the tape idea and images :)

    1. Hey, I'm wearing sz L in the fur vest. I have a photo of the vest in a different print from when I bought mine comparing the fit of L vs XL. Sz L fits me snugly when zipped, so I usually leave it unzipped. I love Zara and their free shipping and returns, so definitely give a few sizes a try if you can! Hope that helps and let me know if you have other questions!
