3 Rules for Shopping at H&M Like a Pro
H &M is knocking it out of the park this season as pre-Fall rolls in and Gucci, Celine and Balenciaga inspired pieces abound. That being said, retailers especially like H&M are notoriously hard to shop especially online since they are technically knockoff pieces and to be 100% honest the quality can be hit or miss. That’s why today I am sharing my 3 rules for Shopping H&M like a Pro as well as my favorite Fall items that are already selling out. RULE #1: Shop by price.
