Every Item on My H&M Wish List Is Under $40: Here Are My Favorites

Admittedly, I used to overlook H&M, but now it's up there as one of my favorite affordable brands. I find that its clothes and accessories don't tend to date as quickly as other fast fashion brands and that the quality surpasses its affordable price tags. In fact, seldom does a day goes by where I'm not wearing a piece from H&M—and it seems this will continue well into summer, too.

Earlier this week, upon conducting my daily new-in section check of H&M's website, I couldn't help but notice that all of the pieces I was adding to my wish list were not just seasonally appropriate, but each item was also $40 and under. And now that I've safely snapped them up for myself, I've decided to share these style steals with you, too.
