I also snatched up a black maxi dress that I know I'll wear a ton this summer, as well as my favorite pair of $35 pants in bright teal. It was a glorious day.

My Zara Shopping Spree
Because I've been oh-so busy working every night and weekend on The Everygirl, I haven't had any time to relax and shop for fun. So this past weekend, post-launch-coma, I ventured downtown to my favorite budget-friendly resource, Zara. Two hours later, after trying on just about everything in the store and making tough decisions about what to keep and what to toss, I left very satisfied with my new purchases.
Favorite buy? This blush pink frilly delight ($99.99). According to my roommate, "it's so cute it should be illegal." Uh... awesome.
Also love my pink skinny friends w/ zip ankles ($49.99) that I wore to the West Elm/Etsy event.
I was really torn on being adventurous and getting myself a black maxi skirt. I thought it would be very fashion-forward of me. Yes, this is me being trendy. Alas, the maxi did not make it home with me that day. Thoughts? Should I go back and get it? Is this something I'd get a lot of use out of? Could be fun for day or night... Hmm... I just wasn't convinced it was worth $90.

I've been seeing a lot of these 1/2 sheer skirts. And....lucky for me there is a Zara's 5 miles away. :) Fun post!
ReplyDeleteI'd go buy the maxi from a place live Forever 21 or H&M. I never like to invest money is something I'm not sure I'll wear a ton. cute tho! I'd say go for it.
ReplyDeleteI love ZARA! I'd get the maxi pleated skirt is a great piece...fun to dress up or down? go get it!

Alaina: go back and get that skirt, looks gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteAll great purchases! I really love the pink dress!
ReplyDeleteI, for one, love the maxi skirt on you, and have been wanting one myself, but I don't think I'd pay $90 for it. I'm prety sure I've seen similar styles at H&M. I want a Zara shopping spree! I'm ridiculously excited to be near one of their stores when I'm in Chi-town this summer. I hardly ever make purchases online.
ReplyDeleteI bought the green jeans for $35 and I love them just like you said I would. I'm already thinking about what color to get next payday. Their spring stuff is knocking it out of the park, in my humble opinion! For the skirt, I vote no, it's cute but not worth $90 unless you think you'll wear it a ton.
ReplyDeleteWhat great picks, and certainly a well-deserved shopping spree!
ReplyDeleteLovely finds! You definitely deserve to treat yourself!
ReplyDeleteSo, I agree $90 is a lot for a skirt, but it looks great on you! You look so tiny and stylish so if you don't go back and get that one, I think you should definitely invest in one at a cheaper price point.
ReplyDeleteI am totally loving those pink pants! I threw on some pink skinnies today as well, but they're not as bright/awesome as those. Perhaps I'll have to venture out and find some!
ReplyDeleteI agree with LR, if you don't buy that skirt, you should definitely find one at a friendlier price.

I love a good maxi skirt, particularly b/c they are elegant yet breezy when it gets very hot here in TX. I don't know, I might go back and get it!
ReplyDeletelove that maxi skirt! Zara is one of my favorite stores! We don't have any in Michigan, but when I am Chi-Town I always stop there.

Go back for the maxi! You will get so much use out of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining the chorus - get the maxi! It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI bought a black jersey maxi skirt from Gap last summer, I LOVE LOVE it. I wear it in the winter too with boots and a slightly blous-y tank and cardi. It's a really versatile piece I think and worth the investment!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is breathtaking! Zara is definitely the place to shop! Too bad I don't have one close by...or maybe that's a good thing..ha!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new profile pic! Just stunning!
I've been debating over getting that skirt from Zara. I almost feel like it's too cool for me, but now I totally need it. And the blush dress. Well, I die for anything blush.
ReplyDeleteHead over heels for all things at Zara right now, there blouses are absolutely amazing as well!
I did not know about Zara until I encountered your blog. I love its products now so much. Sadly where I live does not have Zara, but I am on its online store! Happy. I am so in love with your new dress - simple and elegant. Maxi skirt is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI thought the skirt was the sexiest piece by far! The pink dress IS cute... so if you'd rather be cute than sexy...
ReplyDeleteYou definitely deserve to treat yourself!I am totally loving those pink pants!Maxi skirt is so beautiful.
