H&M Studio fall/winter 2019 collection: Kiss boring workwear goodbye with printed dresses, pleated skirts, and more

If you've been in a relationship for more than a year, you know this to be true: you let go. You get lazy. Coordinated lingerie, timely grooming, and effortful makeup lewks are reserved for special dates, not for the daily.

Similarly, you were likely better dressed (but hopefully not better behaved) during the earlier days of your employment, than say... right now. It's okay. We get it. Responsibilities mount higher and higher, meetings drag longer and longer, and those date nights we just mentioned are practically nonexistent because #workcalls.

Naturally, you begin to rely on easy staples you don't have to give much thought to when you're getting dressed in the morning before coffee. We're not judging, but that black pencil skirt and silk tank need to be shelved, girl. They're as tired as you are. In their place could be H&M Studio fall/winter 2019 collection.

Named 'Magical Realism', it's lined with monochromatic shirtdresses, asymmetrical pleated skirts, and puffy-sleeve blouses (that will jump start you when you just can't anymore), and punctuated with party-centric wares (that will party as hard as you work). Hey, you have to pick up a cocktail at some point, right?
