H&M Basic Tops

Hey guys,
So personally, I have a lot of cute sweaters and jackets and hoodies and stuff that I often find are too bulky over a fashion top with dolmen sleeves or something. That's why I found myself in need of some simple, plain colored, not-too-tight not-too-loose short sleeved tops.
As I've said before, brand name places usually aren't the best place to buy basics, you're better off at like Macy's, Nordstrom, or Old Navy. But actually when I was shopping, I found exactly what I was looking for at H&M.
The things that are in the H&M store are often very different from the things on their website, so I wasn't able to find the garment that I bought online, but this was the closest thing to it:
H&M Basic Short-Sleeve Top
This one is a little more fitted, and it's made of a stretchier material, but you get the idea.
Try to buy it in colors that match your wardrobe; I bought mine in maroon/burgundy and navy, but other good ones are like black, white, or beige.

Trend: Yoga Pants

Something totally cute to wear: yoga pants. I see a lot of people wearing them with like a cute sweater, or tunic top, or rolled up with Converse. Regular leggings can work too, but they might not have the same support as running or yoga pants. You might be able to get them at simple places like Fred Meyer, or Macy's and they might be a lot cheaper, but here are some cute ones:
Victoria's Secret: Yoga Legging
 
Nike: Legend Tight Fit
 
In my experience, black is the best, most basic color, but gray would also work. Try not to get stuff with too much writing or color in it though, because then it looks like you're just wearing tights, or skirt leggings instead of work out pants.
