My Versace for H&M Experience

Chances are that, you, along with most of the fashion bloggers in the world and I, was not invited to the oh-so-exclusive Versace for H&M launch party. What will a girl(or guy) do? You wait in the line for 4 hours before you were finally given the chance to shop the collection, which was exactly what I did yesterday. The waiting part is not actually the worst part. What really annoys me is that some of the people waiting on the line already have giant Versace for H&M shopping bags filled with just about everything, while the rest of us had as much Versace for H&M as the mannequins allowed.

When I first arrived at the store on 7th Avenue and 34th Street, I thought I made it just on time because no one was waiting outside the stores in the banisters. How wrong could I be. Almost immediately after entering the store, a girl in a Versace for H&M shirt attacked me and wrapped my wrist with a dark yellow paper bracelet, telling me I could shop the collection at 11:45-12:00. Even though 11:45 means a 4-hour wait, I'm just glad I actually got a bracelet and not forced to shop the leftovers of the collection. (But I'm still a teeny bit disappointed. I woke up at 6 in the morning for nothing? What kind of baloney is this? I should be able to predict this though, after spotting Versace for H&M bags at just about everywhere)

 However, I did have a good time bitching with fellow shoppers of 4 hours on the unreliability of H&M, such as the lack of organization. I suggested a giant-ass clock that tells you what colour is up for shopping next. The lady with a silver bracelet talked about setting up separate stations for different colours. The fashion tweeter whose Twitter username I don't know practically tweet in furry when one of those lemon yellow shift dresses was taken. She also mention that she need to book a vacation cause the whole collection look so "summery."  If you want a daily dose of laughter, come and live in New York.

At the end, I didn't buy anything much besides these printed leggings and the pair of earrings. Although I like many pieces from the collection, it's highly unlikely that I'll find a way to incorporate these dresses into my personal style and still makes it look Versace. Besides, if I bought all the pieces I like, I'll end up bankrupt and that's not exaggerating. Some of the pieces are very flimsy. when I was going over the entire collection with that personal shopper with red lipstick on my tail. The crocodile-palm tree printed skirt is the quality of American Apparel, and it's another piece that I skipped.

What's your Versace for H&M experience and what did you bought?
Sorry my Australian readers, I know you don't have H&M there, but you can scream at me later.
