Shopping Trip to Zara

January 31, 2020

Everyone knows that Zara makes it so easy to try on a trend without breaking the bank. It’s definitely one of my go to’s for picking up pieces that are both basic and sometimes a little out of the box. I just did a run and here is what I found…

This black netted dress: it’s super fun but what’s way more fun to me is knowing it’s under $50! I think it looks cool dressed down with jeans but it would also look edgy paired with a black body suit and heels—a perfect for a date night or GNO.

As for polka dots, I love this cheery pink take they did which is such a cool riff on the classic black and white versions you typically see. Lastly, don’t forget about their accessories! I scored these white lace up booties and this embellished pearl headband that complete it all. Even when I think about pairing all of this together will scream “fashion victim!” it somehow works…and that’s the beauty of Zara!
