H&M SF Grand Opening Madness

Arrived at H&M Powell at 9am this morning to scope out the scene. Pure craziness. The line, as expected, snaked around the block, even zigzagging back and forth over on Geary.

We're not line people, so we just ended up hitting up H&M Post later that day once the line had died down to a mere half-block. Saw some interesting items (mostly left only in Large sizes), but we saw a good amount of the merchandise a couple of months ago on our NYC/Boston "working vacations."

What will Trisha be wearing to the office next week? A particularly cute grayed jersey blazer with clipped seams ($29.90).

Our good friend Goldie made a comment about the expectant crowd: "The people waiting fall under one of three categories: (1) The Uber-trendy people who decked themselves out for the grand opening, (2) The Blah people who dressed very plainly, and (3) The Frighteningly dressed people whose outfits didn't quite make it."

To see a particularly uniquely dressed example from Category 1, check back in a bit for another episode of "Profiles in Style!"
