Was Versace for H&M worth it?

     After learning about the collaboration, there were only 3 items in my list that I wanted so badly! I kept these pictures saved in my phone for 2 weeks. 

MyWishlist

     When I was inside the H&M store waiting with my yellow group (4th group to go in) to shop for 10 minutes, I saw that the belt was a thick one. Had it been thin, I would have put it in my shopping bag. I thought that I wouldn't use it as much. So I scratched it from list.  Then some items caught my eyes.

Here are the list of the items in my shopping bag that made it to the cashier:

1. THE must-have bag from the collection. This  bag is very Versace. I loved that the size is just enough that you can bring to a cocktail party. The material is suede. I just have to make sure that it'll be properly stored. The chain's color was almost tarnished even if I haven't used it yet. Was it worth it? YES! Very Cheap for a Versace bag! My bag closet is so colorful.

 2. THE Accessory. Looking at it from where I stood, I was already thinking where I'll wear it. The price was affordable. So in a heartbeat, i put it inside my shopping bag. But there was a problem when I got home. The lock was very hard to open and close. I will have to bring it back to the store. Maybe I didn't know how it was supposed to be opened and closed. I just hope it is not a factory defect or else, I will be crushed! They cannot replace it with a new one because this accessory has been sold out. Was it worth? NO because of the lock problem. Still keeping my fingers crossed!

I love the box!

How beautiful!

Just the right size.

I couldn't close the lock! It was too hard :(

3. The Shiny Shimmery Dress. I thought that this dress would be nice to wear when I looked at it from afar. I just didn't know where to wear it. But I know there's always an occasion for this. It was not as pricey than most dresses and it has really great material. So I put in my shopping bag. When I got home and tried it, it was kinda lose on the top part. I immediately called my friend in the Philippines if she was interested to buy it from me. She gladly said yes! She will be using this in the after-party of her wedding. Was it worth it? YEEES!

This dress is party ready.

4. THE Japanese-ISH leggings. I love the festivity of the colors of this leggings. I grabbed 3 leggings actually but I let go of the other two. My friend Gervin said he couldn't imagine me wearing the other leggings. So i let it go :) But this one was worth it!

5. THE ULTIMATE LBD. It's the most expensive dress I ever own in my life. As Nina Garcia said in her book, The Little Black Book of style: "A style icon knows how to invest in "the bones" (the classic trench, the little black dress..) and builds from there." The most compensating of it all is the FIT! I cannot wait to wear it, soon!

IF I HAD EXTRA MONEY TO SPLURGE:

The jacket to satisfy my pet peeve and the fur vest because it was so elegant.

IF ONLY IT WASN'T SOLD OUT AFTER 45 MINUTES

It's a shirt for men's but this can be paired with anything.

     Most establishments here in Japan would always wrap the paper bag with plastic when it rains. H&M didn't at that time. Since it rained so hard that day, the paperbag was soaked! Thank goodness I made it home and all my purchases safe and dry.

Torn!

     It was an ultimate shopping "semi-spree" ever! It was a fun experience but I will not be doing it again anytime soon.
