The Zara Sale for the Professional Woman

8 Comments

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. :D

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 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.

Calypso St. Barth Sample Sale

I know, I know…I’m taking you to the poor house with all these sale alerts!!  But, can you blame me?!  They are amazing!!  I’ve mentioned before just how much I love Calypso St. Barth’s Sales, so I had to share the news about this one as well.  The website has had some issues because of the volume of people trying to access the sample sale, but if you can get in, it will be well worth the effort!

Sorry I don’t have any curated lists for you from the sale…I couldn’t even get on to pick them out for you, but hopefully you will be able and can share your purchases with me.  Good luck and happy shopping!

Until next time!  Stay Chic!

Luxe for less at the Net-A-Porter Sale

We all know January is an amazing time to buy clothing at 50% or more off retail, so get your wallets ready!  Here is one of the sales you don’t want to miss.

Did you miss the Altuzarra for Target or regret not picking up some of their amazing work-to-girl’s-night-out pieces?  Fret not.  Check out these items that are less than $20!

Their shoe selection is also, as some would say – off the hook!  I’m coveting a few of these, but as I am resolving to save more money than I spend this year, these will have to remain on my birthday wishlist for now…which, btw is next month in case you were wondering and need ideas for a birthday gift! 😉  The shoes below are all 40-80% off!

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

And accessories…we can’t forget those!  I have obsessed over a snake print clutch for some time now, and although the one below is actually a laptop case, I went ahead and took the plunge and will see if I can make it double for a clutch.  I’ll keep you posted.  For now, it is well on it’s way to my doorstep!   Check out the other two items I found for under $30:

In conclusion, you’re welcome. 😉  Let me know below what you thought about these picks and/or what you decided to pick up for yourself!  Follow me on Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest to see how I end up styling the things I ordered.

Until next time!  Stay Chic!
