We all know that the best H&M pieces are the ones that prompt those incredulous "No, it can't be H&M!" comments. The long knit dress, above, falls into this most excellent category. Priced at $19(!), it's "beautifully made," says pictured LA-based shoe designer Haley Boyd. I'm planning to wear it and turn some disbelieving heads on my own! The bag and shoes can be found here and here.
