Good morning darlings, If you seen the most recent blog post about the H&M Wild Meadows Collection I have fantastic news - This post is all about the collection and the pieces I purchased to try!
I personally ordered 4 pieces from the collection because sadly the website only released a few pieces at a time. The goal is to decide which of these pieces I’ll keep and then order the others within my spending budget. I also ordered some basic Spring Arrivals from H&M that I will include in this post too! Below I’ll state what size I got and if it fits true to size or anything call outs.
I will talk H&M Wild Meadow Pieces first.
At the end of this post you’ll find a shopping widget where you can shop ALL these pieces from todays try on! These are affiliate links.
Wild Meadows Flared Skirt in Yellow
When I first unpacked this skirt I thought the waistband was sewn incorrectly, but they had designed it to fold over (to make the skirt have the flare fit). This skirt is quite voluminous and would be darling to wear at an outdoor style party. There’s a matching tube top that I kind of wish I ordered.
Skirt fits TTS. I’m in XS.
Wild Meadows Smocked Detail Dress
When I first tried this dress on I didn’t like it. But I tried it on a second time and it’s starting to grow on me. My reason for not liking it at first is the sleeves looked too ‘heavy’ on my body frame. But once I pulled the sleeves up I started to like the dress. This dress is also one of those that your bra straps will show/peek on the sides because its a deep square neckline. I suggest a strapless bra. Dress fits TTS but I think I could’ve worn a S and it fit just fine. I’m in XS.
Wild Meadows Crinkled Long Dress
This crinkled dress was my #1 on my wishlist and sadly it’s my least favorite in the lot! The crinkled fabric to me looks wrinkled (I steamed it 3x to get most of the crinkle look out). But oddly this dress runs quite large. I’m in a XS and a XXS would’ve fit me better. It’s made (I assume) to be really relaxed and loose fitting but to me this dress would look more flattering fitted - If I keep this I plan to belt it.
Dress fits large - size down 1 size. I’m in XS.
Wild Meadows Off the Shoulder Dress
This is my “wildcard” dress. When I can afford to - I always try to order one wildcard to try out and see if I like….Shockingly…. This is my most favorite dress from the Wild Meadows Collection! It’s so so beautiful on. You can wear it off the shoulder but it looks nice pulled up over your shoulders (this way will make the sleeves more puffed). I’m just all around in love with this one. Its a 10/10 and will be in my wardrobe.
Dress fits TTS. I’m in a XS.
Spring Arrivals from H&M
White Canvas Slides
I purchased these because they were A) cheap B) looked like Chanel or Chloe C) a Spring must have D) perfect slip ons for around the house.
These shoes are amazing. I love the fit and the off white color is perfect for Spring Summer.
Shoes fit TTS. I’m in size 7.
Faux Fur indoor Slippers in Beige
I purchased these because I saw the reviews stated there was a good base. I’m currently wearing them as I type this. They fit great and they’re cheaper than the Nordstrom Brand slippers I was going to get.
Slippers fit TTS. I’m in a Size 8.
Knot Detailed Waist Belt
I love this because it looks like one that Chloe or another luxury designer would make. It comes in 2 color options and I went with the brown. The reviews said it ran small and to go up a size but personally I don’t think you need to go up a size.
Belt fits TTS. I’m in a size S and returning for a size XS.
Sage Green Linen Dress
This sage color dress also comes in tan, dusty pink, and a black color. I love it! Its very soft and easy to wear. There’s a full top to bottom button detailing and a tie waist. I feel like this dress you can wear it so many ways and dress it up or down. Its long sleeves but so light and airy its perfect for Spring/Summer but a great layering option for Autumn. I also styled this dress with the knot belt and it works great that way too!
Dress fits TTS. I’m in a size XS.
Balloon Sleeve dress in Lilac
This dress is also a perfect floral for Spring. Its very delicate, airy, and has a lot of details that make it perfect for date night but also you can tone it down with cognac color sandals for a more casual look. I purchased this as another floral option to compare to the Wild Meadows. The results is the Wild Meadows is all a linen fabric while this dress is a little bit lighter and more breezy. Definitely a perfect dress for the warmer weather! It will look great belted or just wear flowy. Heels or flats will make this dress perfect too!
Dess fits TTS. I’m in XS.
V-neck Dress in light purple floral
Another dress I wanted to try out and see how it compares to the Wild Meadows Collection. I will say this dress has softer fabric and a more airy feel to it. Last year they had this dress in plain colors and in tropical palm prints. This year its in beautiful Florals and a blue and white Ginger Jar print. I love this dress belted and would be perfect casual, as a beach cover up, or on a date to the winery.
Dress fits TTS. I’m in XS.
Jacquard-Weave Dress in Dark Green
This dress was sold out of all sizes and one night I noticed there was 5 in stock in the size S. WOW - this dress is definitely on the larger end. I would definitely recommend sizing down or going to your true size. I love the detailing of the fabric and was hoping to get it for End of Summer and Autumn/Winter. I think it would look amazing with some cognac knee high boots and a hat.
Dress runs big. Stick to TTS for more relaxed fit or size down 1 size for more fitted.
Overall, the H&M haul was fantastic. I haven’t shopped the brand in YEARS and I’m officially a fan of their clothing and accessories again. I love how their styles are clean, on trend to European styles/designers, and price wise VERY affordable.
The items I’m returning are: Jacquard Dress (too big), Knot Belt (too big), Canvas shoes (I ordered 2 pairs and returning the larger size), Smocked Wild Meadows Dress (My least favorite in the WM collection), and I’m still undecided on the V-neck dress and balloon sleeve dress (I like them but I need to limit my budget on Spring Summer dresses).
