Well, the sales keep on comin’! If I were told that for the rest of my life I could only shop one store with an unlimited budget, it would likely be Zara. For the professional woman, this is the relatively affordable mecca of work-appropriate clothing that is not only chic, but also great quality. I LOVE ZARA. LOVE.
So when my sister called me earlier today to alert me to the fact that some major sales were going down, I immediately took to the ‘internets’ as some would say, to scour the inventory. She was not lying. The selection and prices are amazing. AH-MAZE-ING.
Here are a few of my faves:
Fitted Blazer with Pleated Sleeves, $39.99. I am ALL about an amazing shoulder on a jacket. I love this color of this one, but it also comes in black for those of you who are averse to color. 😀
Checked Shift Dress, $49.99. Okay, so this dress isn’t super cheap, but it’s half off and just perfect in terms of tailoring! The color combo is gorgeous, and well let’s face it, it’s just simply a great lookin’ dress. Not gonna lie, I bought it. You should buy it too and we should be dress twinsies. 😉
Judge me all you want, but I think these trousers are über chic! Paired with a sweater, a silk top and a blazer, you’ve got a comfy, chic outfit for most office environments. Get them now and wear them until it gets to warm to sport them!
Skirt with side zip, $22.99. My bestie and I loved this skirt! A little bit of sexy without crossing the line into trashy, haha. Pair it with a button down or even a plain white t-shirt and call it day.
High Heel Leather Boot, $79.99. In case you didn’t already know, now is the time to buy boots! These in particular are $100 off. The heel is a good height, and chunky, so they are bound to be relatively comfy to wear.
Pleated Dress with Flared Skirt, $49.99. If you’re tall and slim, this is the dress for you. I’m obsessed with the color, but for a short curvy woman, this is not the beesneez. So, I pass it along to you who can rock it!
Faux Leather Obi Belt, $12.99. In my opinion, everyone needs a great statement belt. This one is a good neutral one to have, and I love that the size is adjustable, without having those horrid holes telling the wold whether you’ve gained or lost weight recently. Ugh!
Faux Fur Jacket, $25.99. If you’ve been looking for a faux fur jacket, look no further! I love the color of this one AND the price is literally unbeatable. Even by Forever 21’s standards! BUY.BUY.BUY!!
Printed Top with Shirt Collar, $29.99. I’m in love with this top. I think it’s perfect for the office, for a date night, or even for brunch outing on the weekend. Perfection all around!
Mini City Bag, $25.99. I’m a sucker for a great statement bag. Add this to an all black outfit, and all white outfit, or even to the checked/plaid dress above, and you have a fantastic outfit. My laptop would likely not fit in this bag (8 x 9 x 3″), but for the price, I say it’s worth buying.
Let me know what you end up buying!! I will post my pics on Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest, so make sure to follow along!

Wow, what a deal! The checked shift dress is so cute! Dress twinsies would be amazing! I was able to get to your blog through my email notice that you had liked my post. I clicked on one of the links to your blog posts, and that took me to your blog. However, a couple of days ago when I tried that, I got the same notice that your blog had been deleted. Weird, right!?

I already was obsessed & loved you but you being a Zara addict has really increased all that to a whole other level! I AM OBSESSED WITH ZARA AND WANT IT ALL. There’s no other store I’d rather shop in (although it can get NUTS in there). I love how their items are great for work and weekends. Love all of your choices! XOXO
