I'm a Picky Zara Shopper, and This Is What I'm Buying There for Winter
You’re probably wondering what being a picky Zara shopper even means, so let me tell you. All it means is that while I love Zara as much as the next girl, when I shop there (whether it’s in store or online), I do my best to do so with as discerning of an eye as I would have if everything in the store were super expensive. In other words, not just buying anything I see because it’s cheap or at the very least more affordable than its designer counterparts. Not a bad approach, am I right?
Since we are officially in winter mode, I decided to round up everything I would buy from Zara for the months ahead if I had an unlimited budget (and the closet space to match). Naturally, while I did my best to cut things down, it’s still quite a lot—39 items to be exact—but they range from outerwear to knits to shoes and they’re all just that good. So, without further ado, just keep scrolling to get shopping.
Outerwear
If you don't own a leather blazer, yet this might just be the one.
Knitwear
Plus, the matching top of course.
When I'm not buying things in black or white, oftentimes it's hunter green—can you blame me?
Confession: I bought this and the matching tank already.
Tops
Dresses
Bottoms
I'm obsessed with the way these straight-leg leather pants look with strappy sandals.
Bags & Accessories
I tend to avoid beanies because of hat hair, but when I absolutely must wear one, I prefer them simple and neutral like this.
I've been eyeing this big bag for a while and can't believe it made it to sale.
Shoes
