Shopping insanity! Check out my $3 H&M clearance haul!

If you were impressed with my $5 H&M finds from the other day you're gonna be blown away by this haul. I've been working in slow motion of late (I know, I'm still working on the blog sale...) as I've been under the weather. This morning I finally got around to returning some of the cheap $5 pieces that didn't work for anyone - only to be greeted by this lovely sign :)

After grabbing a few pieces I went to check out where I was informed that EVERY piece of women's sale merchandise was now $3, even if it's not marked. I quickly ran back to the racks (and to the fitting room) and grabbed anything worthwhile.

I always grab the higher ticket items first but at these prices I really take anything that will work for anyone I know LOL.

Check out all my new finds:

My new dress retailed for a whopping $59.95. My favorite H&M location does not carry some of the higher end pieces so if it gets returned to this store, it goes right to the clearance rack usually for 50% off. But today it was $3!!!

 I've been having fun with maxi dresses lately so I grabbed a couple of these $49.95 black numbers.

I'm thinking I might send this to my friend in DC because I couldn't leave this $49.99 faux-wrap dress just because it wasn't my size. 

And this one should work for my SIL - hope it's not too short. No tag so I haven't a clue what the retail is but again, $3 so who cares.

This $24.99 chambray dress is still full price on the website :)

Another dress that's too small for me but I wasn't leaving a $69.95 dress. For $3 I'll save it for when I'm skinnier.

A little cutesy (and too snug across my chest) but I have tons of nieces...

This $29.99 dress is still full price online. I grabbed the 6 but I wish I grabbed the 2 because it runs huge.  It's gonna work for someone.

Lots of cute skirts and tops too! This is a $49.95 silk top. Insane.

Cute $3 crop top for my SIL! 

I made a client buy this top at full price because it's so flattering. Grabbed mine for $3! Wish they had more.

Actually tried on this $34.95 skirt at full price. Wish it was my size. 

Love anything blue! Was $59.99!

Found one for a client for $5 - today I picked up my size for $3! 

This is what I mean about the higher end pieces getting returned and marked to 50% off.  $79.95 to $3? Yes, please!

I'm not so into pants so maybe I'll layer these fitted black cargos. Was $34.95 :)

Anyone else get lucky? On the shopping front, I'm still waiting on Century 21 to drop from 65% off (not good enough for me) and I heard Marshalls/TJ got another markdown but no yellow tickets yet. I've been working on my blog sale but I'm having a hard time letting go LOL. I'm about halfway done so hopefully this weekend!

H&M $5 Summer sale haul!

Before we get started I wanted to share a couple photos that my super talented friend Erik Soulliard took of me in the City the other day. I've been living in my Rebecca Taylor Kiku print midi dress - but I keep switching up the accessories.

Details from head to toe:

• Sunglasses: Moschino, Century 21, $60 (free with my rewards)
• Earrings: AV Max sample sale, $4 
• Necklace: JES Design Studio, free (won a giveaway)
• Dress: Rebecca Taylor sample sale, $50 (retail $550) 
• Belt: Nordstrom Rack, $5
• Bracelets: All Gerard Yosca sample sale finds, $5-15 each
• Bag: Balenciaga, Nordstrom Rack, about $300 after using Nordstrom Notes
• Shoes: Jimmy Choo sample sale, $90 (a few sales ago)

And because I know you really want to see my Choos...

Nail polish is Sinful Colors Thimbleberry - it was in my last Target beauty box :)

I can seriously run for miles in these babies. They are so lightweight - it's like walking on air. And I love the height :) 

Now on to H&M! Every so often during sale season my H&M slashes almost everything to $5 (usually on a Monday). It varies by location so YMMV. I randomly popped in yesterday and lucky me! 

I shared this on Insta yesterday but I didn't take it. Only $3, people!

And this is what I took. Let's start with the dresses:

Denim shirt dress, $5. 

Ditzy print dress for my niece T, $5. I wish it had more of a sleeve (they are super modest) but it covers the knee and has a high neckline.

I never loved this handkerchief hem dress but for $5, why not?

I've been looking for a new little white dress for a while. For $5 I can work with this one :)

I probably need a size or two smaller on this swing dress but I for $5 you take what they have.

I think this Conscious Collection caftan is mistagged (It's a small but the paper tag has numerical sizes) but it doesn't matter. Thinking about giving this one to my SIL as a swim cover.

This shirt dress is nothing special but for $5 I can always use a modest dress (I need them for when I visit my mom). 

I'm short-waisted so I love a good crop top (they look more proportional on me). I paid a whopping $7 for this one. The sales girl actually double checked with me at the register because she knew I was looking for $5 or better LOL. 

Another crop top, $3.

From time to time I get my sister some great plus size pieces at H&M...however this $5 cardi was not one of them. Too boxy so it will be going back.

This top is the hugest size 8 I've ever seen so I'll be saving it for my SIL. So weird that some tops were $7 when they had $50 dresses for $5.

My grandmother has been complaining that she has no clothing so I grabbed this $5 striped blazer for her.

I'm not sold on this $5 skirt because it looks a little cheap but I love the midi length. We'll see. 

White floral skirt for my nieces, $5.

This was all from one store so I may need to check out a few more locations today. Would love to hear what you scored! 

Happy shopping :)

H&M's $4 4th of July deals (and more!)

Summer sales are in full effect! Got an email this morning that Saks is having their designer consolidation sale in Texas and Beverly Hills (online too!) but I'm trying to shop on the cheap. At the Saks outlet they still have pink dot deals for $19.99 but I have not seen anything new added. I scoured my outlet mall and my most exciting find was that the H&M sale just kicked it up a notch.

H&M brought back their $4 4th of July promotion! Spotted tons of $4 tops & dresses in the women's department.

They also had their $5.99 basics on sale - 4 for $10! $2.50 tanks and tees? Yes, please!

Don't forget to check the accessories - found lots of pieces for one dollar or less!

Cute tote for $7...

 Lots of $4-5 swim pieces!

Kids department was chock full of $1-10 pieces. I grabbed these $4 seahorse dresses for my girls. I can't seem to resist cheap matching dresses. I checked the men's department but all I saw for $4 were some ugly T's and tanks.

On Instagram I've been posting Century 21 updates. They now have signs for 1/3-1/2 off throughout the store!

I got excited until I remembered how much their stuff costs before 90% off LOL. I fell in love with these Antonio Berardi dresses but even at 50% off they were $249.50 & $374.25. Normally I wait until 75% off to even look so I don't get attached to anything but I have some rewards expiring this week. I still have $60+ left to spend but it's so hard for me to "waste" money on things that I know are about to get marked down further. Ugh.

I checked in at my favorite TJ Maxx hoping for markdowns but didn't see any (yet). I have a feeling yellow stickers are coming soon :) I did see several super cute beach totes for just $7.99.

And finally, last week Target had buy one get one 50% off sandals online so I grabbed these gladiators that I had seen on Instagram. Reviews were all positive so I figured for around $22 a pair after discounts it would be worth a shot. I got them in 9 and 9.5 and I returned the smaller sandals. They seem pretty comfortable but I hate that they are plastic. I suspect they are going to fall apart so it hurts to pay over $20 for non-leather shoes when I know what I can find for a penny :)

Target has them for 20% off this week ($23.99). Last week was essentially 25% off but you had to buy two pairs. I recommend having them shipped to you because one pair that I ordered online and picked up locally came damaged (I had to place a second order for these) so just have them ship you a brand new pair.

Exciting things are happening! What have you guys been picking up lately?

XOXO
