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 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.
