This wide leg trouser and jacket separate that a lot of people mistook for a romper has a story of its own. I went to exchange something at H&M and stumbled upon this set. I brought my usual size to the fitting room, size 6 for the bottom and size 4 for the top. Bummer, none of the sizes worked. Pants were a bit snug and the blouse super loose, which implied I needed size 8 for the pants and size 2 for the jacket. With all the skepticism about the fitting of the blouse, I decided to leave it behind and just bought the trouser.
On my way back I just kept thinking about “how fantastic the two pieces would look worn together!” I kind of started regretting my decision of leaving the jacket behind. I had exactly twenty-two minutes to decide whether or not the jacket was coming home. By the time I approached my metro stop “I knew I was getting the jacket.” Luckily there was an H&M by my train stop, so I stepped in. Unfortunately, the store didn’t have my size. I looked up online, but no luck there either. I was so keen that I hopped back on the train for another nearest H&M. Bad luck there too- the store didn’t carry this lineup at all. I became all the more determinant and hopped back on the train and made my way to the first store where all this began. So, there I was two hours later, back at square one with a size 2 jacket ready to be checked out. Rest is history……….
