The H&M Items I'm Kind of Panicked Over

last updated 14 August 2019

Lately, instead of saying "Oh my gosh" or "I'm freaking out," I say "I'm panicking." You know, just another dramatic statement to add to your repertoire. Just recently, as I was online shopping, I found myself deep in the pages of H&M and found product so good, I became instantly—you guessed it—panicked. That feeling where you want everything but can realistically afford nothing quickly came over me, and I found myself in a pickle.

The only way to calm my shopping anxiety was to round up my favourite pieces to overwhelm you as well (sorry not sorry). While scrolling, keep in mind that I am a fashion editor and tend to gravitate toward items that are extremely on trend, meaning windbreakers, woven bags, and pastels. But trust me, the basics at H&M are just as good as the trend-driven pieces are. Hopefully below you'll feel zero panic and tons of excitement as you shop the items I'm loving most from the affordable retailer.
