What I Wore Wednesday: Versace for HM

Last Thursday I was lucky enough to win a Twitter competition and skip the queue for the unveiling of the new Versace for H and M collection! (ed note: I know it is not H and M, but I can't get an ampersand to work for some reason!) I got to go in early and shop before anyone else hit the store. The same rules still applied: I could only shop for 10 minutes and only one of each item.  

I went in with only two items in mind and came out with five items from the Versace collection. I had planned a fashion show for y'all but well life took over so lucky for me Polyvore stepped in! So here is how I *would* have worn them if I actually got chance!

I'm still unsure about a few items and have until tomorrow to return them so please be honest about what you think! I'm also keen to hear alternate styling options, too!

Versace Geometric Stud Skirt


Embellished Skirt-Versace for H and M 
Black 3/4 sleeve top- H and M
Black Peep Toe Heels- Stuart Weitzman (Don't actually own but have similar pair)
High stylized bun
Black Ice Manicure- 15 Royal Terrace (I'm loving how the micro glitter breaks up the black!)

Versace Red Dress

Red Dress- Versace for H and M (Sold out! No Link)
Black Peep Toe Heels- Stuart Weitzman (Don't actually own but have similar pair)
Long, Straight Hair; Middle Part

Versace Vest Gilet


Black Fur Vest- Versace for H and M (Sold out! No link.)
Black Leather Studded Bag- Versace for H and M
Black Boots- Sketchers
Skinny Jeans- Old Navy

Versace floral leggings

Floral Leggings- Versace for H and M

I've no idea how to really wear the leggings other than some sort of plain black top; any ideas? Did you shop the new Versace collection?

Loving the skirt and the red dress. I had no idea there were some things I might like in that collection!

Melaina25 said...

Oooh good call on the white shirt belted!

Melaina25 said...

I'm kinda in love with it too!

Melaina25 said...

Thank you! Now I need somewhere to wear the skirt :) There is matching top in the collection but I thought it was a bit OTT.

Melaina25 said...

I couldn't live without H&M!

Melaina25 said...

The leggings are still available to purchase online and are under £25!

Melaina25 said...

oh you lucky duck!!! You got such wonderful stuff! I personally had my eyes set on those tights :)

Melaina25 said...

Such cute stuff, LOVE that red dress. Only things I'd style a bit differently would be a splash of color for the first outfit. Maybe nails, but maybe just makeup or a gold necklace would be enough. 
Those leggings are adorable. I bet they would look super cute with boots and a long black sweater. Congrats on your great finds! 

Melaina25 said...

Check you out! Love the leggings :) And I'm going to have to participate in this - I have some nice outfits lately, especially after shopping here. xx

Melaina25 said...

oohhh awesome! What a fabulous collection! I think I would wear the patterned tights with a sheer black oversized top! :)

Melaina25 said...

I popped my head into H&M while I was picking up dinner (Pizza Hut, I know I'm awesome, lol) and saw some sheer tops. I need to go back when I have more time!

Melaina25 said...

This week's linky is up! I'd love to see what you've been getting Stateside!

Melaina25 said...

Wow! What a collection. I'm not sure about the black fur vest, but otherwise love everything else. You could wear the leggings with a block colour wrap dress or tunic & heels? Whether that be black or pick out one of the colours from the leggings perhaps??

Melaina25 said...

Oh wow! I'm wearing H&M on my post today but unfortunately it is not of the Versace variety! I can't believe your haul - you lucky girl! I absolutely love it all but I think my favourite has to be that skirt. I would wear that to death. I think I would play it safe with the leggings and wear something skimming and black but man they are amazeballs! Has Soph4Soph seen them? She would love them :-) 

Melaina25 said...

Thanks Susan! I think it is really interesting to see what pieces everyone likes and doesn't like :)

Melaina25 said...

These look great. I love the dress. I'm not sure about the leggings, but think with a plain top would be best. x

Melaina25 said...

Be quick! It's pretty much sold out in stores here with a few pieces still available online.

Melaina25 said...

Love that fur vest! I haven't been to shop it yet!

Melaina25 said...

I like everything that you got! I really love the fur vest. I would probably wear the leggings with a long white button up blouse belted. You could even wear the vest with them!

Melaina25 said...

WOWOWOWOWWOW!  Congrats on winning the Twitter contest and getting to shop early.  That is so super exciting.  I love what you got...especially the leggings!  Neutral top (ivory lace?  crisp white shirt?) with a black blazer LOVE!

Melaina25 said...

I LOVE that red dress.....

Melaina25 said...

Thanks for the invite. I would like to invite you to join my anything goes linky, fri-monday.  I linked up and will grab the button now. :)

Melaina25 said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am a new follower of yours now. I will link up an outfit asap! :) I so love your outfits and kinda am digging the floral leggings! I would wear them with an oversized sweater maybe or use them as tights with a dress...? anyway I love your stuff and will be back to link an outfit later!!!!

Melaina25 said...

I love the white shirt idea! Blazer sounds good but I'm very busty so blazers tend to not work no matter what the cut :(

Melaina25 said...

Oh I love H&M! I fell in love when they opened the first store in Georgetown when I lived in DC and couldn't live without them. They have amazing maternity clothes, too :)

Melaina25 said...

Look forward to seeing your link! The leggings are kind of swimsuit like material if that makes sense so I'm having issues figuring what to pair them with other than jersey.

Melaina25 said...

Thank you :) I hope you'll be a WIW regular!

Melaina25 said...

I know right? I looked online before I went in and was shocked by how much I loved in person and even more actually ON me. There was another dress I loved but it had a low back and there is no way I can go braless :)

Melaina25 said...

The back of the vest is open so it doesn't bulk me out and make me look like a Yeti (if that makes sense!)

Melaina25 said...

There is a chance it could be yours! I need to try it on again firs though :)

Melaina25 said...

Try to remind me for Friday and I am there!

Melaina25 said...

I LOVE that studded bag!

Melaina25 said...

Love that first skirt! So cute, especially the way you've styled it.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving the sweet comment. You have an adorable little one. ;)

Melaina25 said...

This just makes me love H&M even more!

Melaina25 said...

Oh, those leggings would be super cute with an oversized bright sweater, like orange or pink. I love them!

Melaina25 said...

Ooooh I didn't even think of anything other thank black!

Melaina25 said...
