H&M Ottawa Grand Opening Picks

Take a look at one of my F A B O finds from an exclusive VIP shopping event to inaugurate the grand opening of Ottawa’s first H&M store. YES, this is our first H&M Ottawa store! We’ve been without this retailer for awhile [FOREVER really lol], but I think it’s safe to say that the overall feeling associated with it’s arrival is one of pure JOY! Waste no time Ottawa-nians and let the shopping begin!

With 25% off, I was able to snag this awesome brown leather jacket with silver accents for under $50! With bubbles in hand, I scoured the store high and low in search of a dress for my up and coming university grad, but when unsuccessful I resorted to this brown leather jacket that I’m extremely happy with. Now, If you were to step into my closet tomorrow you’d notice that there’s a bit of overkill with the leather goods [jackets in particular] – I probably should’ve bought something else, but I couldn’t help myself once I tried it on.

I paired the jacket with a skirt and ‘floppy’ hat for Fall. It was a tad chilly on this day so I decided to wear cotton stockings! This look can be reinvented with whatever you have in your closet. All you need is a fitted jacket that hits at or above the hips, a skirt, stockings, and a wide brimmed hat – Then VOILA! I concluded the look with some thrifted brown booties I purchased last year for $15 [SUPER STEAL]!

Thanks to H&M Ottawa for the wonderful shopping experience. The music, people, and shopping made for a memorable evening and I can’t wait to head back [When my finances say so]!
