Usually my style is bright and colorful, but lately I’ve been drawn to blacks and greys. I don’t know if it has to do with the winter weather, but I do know that a lot of it probably has to do with my new-found obsession (yes, obsession) with these perfect grey skinny jeans and this amazing boyfriend blazer from H&M.
H&M Black Boyfriend Blazer
H&M has always been a favorite of mine for work outfit fashion. They have affordable office staples like blouses and blazers and lots of great on-trend items as well. I’ve found myself returning more and more lately because I keep finding great stuff! (By the way, I keep track of a lot of these items on my Highlights on Instagram.) When I was shopping on Black Friday I noticed H&M was having a sale and since I had had my eye on these two items for awhile, I couldn’t resist getting them on sale! Shortly thereafter, the boyfriend blazer sold out. But, I’m happy to say that it is back in stock and now comes in more colors!

You will see me styling this boyfriend blazer in all kinds of ways in the coming months. I hope it doesn’t become boyfriend blazer overkill, but I really believe in getting your wear out of the pieces in your closet. And if I recommend an item as strongly as this one, then I want to show you different ways to wear it. I’ve already worn it so many different ways. The beautiful gold buttons and long length draw me in over and over. #sorrynotsorry
H&M Grey Skinny Jeans
And, not to be outdone, these grey skinny jeans are the bomb. They can be worn to work and casually. I wore them in THIS post already, though I haven’t talked about them in-depth.
This particular pair of skinny jeans is nothing fancy. But, they are so comfortable. They have the perfect level of light distressing (ok to dress up and wear to work) and lightly faded color. The fabric is soft and stretches just the right amount. I’ve been looking for gray skinny jeans for awhile because 1) I think they go with a lot of looks and 2) I think they’re another way to get away with wearing jeans to work without it looking like jeans! This is my secret to dressing professionally without being uncomfortable!
They are almost completely sold out. However, if you click the heart button on the widget below, you can get an alert when they’re back in stock. Hopefully they will be restocked like the blazer. In the meantime, check out this pair (slightly more distressed). Oh, and I was drooling over this skirt, which I just realized already sold out! If you’re into snakeskin, you have to check out the rest of the snakeskin items in the new arrivals. They’re going fast and I’m going crazy over them! One of them just might be my next H&M purchase!
Have you tried H&M recently? What is your favorite item? I want to check it out next time I’m in the store!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love this simple but elegant look! H&M is great, I always end up bringing about 20 items to their dressing room.
Virginia says
Thank you! And I know what you mean about H&M! Sometimes I specifically go with my husband just so that I can’t spend all day trying things on!

I’m always reaching for my dark neutrals in the winter months, and grey jeans are such a great option when you want to mix things up a little!

Well, I’m glad that I’m not alone with my dark neutrals! It took me a long time to find a good grey pair of skinny jeans but man…I am already getting so much use out of them!

Very stylish.. love the striped top with these jeans! 🙂
Virginia says
Thank you! Is it bad to admit I have 4 similar striped tops!? lol…but they go with everything!
Shea says
I also can’t get enough neutrals right now, so this outfit is right up my alley! I love the oversize feel of that blazer, and now I’m wondering why I don’t have a pair of gray jeans like that. Love those!
Virginia says
I’m usually not a neutral girl, but when you have great neutral pieces in your closet like these two, you can’t help but wear them over and over! Now that I have a pair of gray jeans, I don’t know how I lived without them! Definitely get yourself some!
Brooke says
I can always find something to love at H&M. I’ve never tried their jeans, but the gray pair looks so good on you, I’m tempted to try!

Thank you! H&M is my weakness! Try a pair of gray jeans. I didn’t think I would love them as much as I do, but they go with everything!
