I am sitting here with a nasty case of strep throat pondering what exactly to write on this here FASHION FRIDAY.. I have managed to muster up about one ounce of energy to get to this computer and say a few words..believe me I seriously contemplated an absence of FASHION FRIDAY this week..I thought maybe they wont notice?
But the guilt was haunting me.. so here I am.. These pic’s were actually taken a while back.. they were sitting in the archives and I adore this H&M jumper so much I thought why not. I actually went through hoops to get it..
Here’s the story.. many months ago I saw this lovely vintage inspired jumper at H&M on Sunset..but they only had a size 10. Hmm! Believe me when I say I still I put it on, belted it, pinned it, absolutely tried to make it work, but it didn’t. They also had a black one in a size 4.. which fit perfectly..ugh! So of course I bought that one. But I just was not satisfied..I REALLY wanted the white one. Ladies you know the feeling I’m taking about.
Thus the quest began.
I literally called or visited every H&M in the greater Los Angeles area.. NOTHING… Mind you I was doing all of this on crutches 🙂
Now this just so happened to be the week that Courtney K moved to New York..(light bulb) and knowing that it was still freezing in NYC I figured that the white jumper had to be somewhere in that city.. I mean who really buys their clothes a season ahead these days!
So I pulled out the old trusty iPhone..went straight to maps..typed in “H&M New York” and got to calling every store in Manhattan. Five locations, and some really nice sale associates later I found it..
A white jumper size 4..YES!!!
So you can only guess who I called to go grab it right!! You got it.. This is the sign of a true bestie.. Someone who will drudge through the cold rain in a city they have not even lived in for a week to buy a jumper for a girl 2000 miles away!! Needless to say the purchase was made..the funds were exchanged and the box arrived 5 days later!! Whoo Hoo!!!
And that’s pretty much all I have to say 😉
Wait I lied..
