Weekend Wear: Leopard Poncho

Leopard poncho sweater - H&M (recent find)
Skinny jeans - Forever21
Necklace - Madewell
Shoes - Miu Miu
Purse - Chanel

Good morning and happy Monday!

I had a great weekend with my visiting sister-in-law and picked up this new leopard poncho during our quick shopping hour in Union Square.  I saw it on a mannequin but it was missing on the surrounding racks.  Where do I go when it's sold out on the floor?

The dressing room go-back rack.

And there it was, in an XS, the last one in the store.  This is not the only time luck has helped me out and searching this go-back rack is a practice I highly recommend.  The sweater is soft and the sleeves can be worn long or scrunched up.  At $49 it was a bit of a splurge for H&M, but it was an instant love moment for me.  A chic sweater I'll be wearing a lot this fall, I'm already sure of it!

Have you ever found what you were looking for on a go-back rack?

  2. That's such an amazing leopard sweater. I kinda wish you didn't mention the price because it is quite steep :( But I already fell in love with it! Oh no what to do ?!?!?!?

  4. That looks fabulous and cozy, the perfect combination for any sweater.
    I don't really have that kind of luck because I usually forget to check that rack and if I do, it's not my size. :(

  6. Wow! what a great find! Especially since leopard print is supposed to be a big hit this fall. I've always been a fan of leopard though :)
