I Took a Break From Shopping, But These Zara Finds Pulled Me Back In
Shopping for myself is my idea of a good time, but lately, it's been on pause. In the interest of being a little selfless during the holidays, I've directed all of my shopping energy toward saving up to buy everyone else gifts. Needless to say, I've been on somewhat of a spending sabbatical, and I still have more time to go before my self-imposed break is finished. So far, I've resisted the urge to buy everything haunting my Instagram and TikTok feeds, but after browsing through Zara's new lineup, I may have to cheat a little.
The newest drops at the retailer have just been too good. Artful prints, expensive-looking coats, and romantic floral pieces that look like they could be from Saint Laurent—I am sold. My wallet won't be too thrilled, but at least my closet will be. After a solid hour of combing through the entire site, my cart is overflowing to the brim with trendy pieces I want to wear immediately. And because I really am selfless, I'm sharing them all below. Keep scrolling to check them out.
In case you didn't know, rose chokers are one of those It-girl accessories fashion people seem to be loving lately. I've been searching for one forever, and at this price, I may have to get two.
Zara's denim jumpsuit has spurred a lot of internet buzz, so I'm eager to finally see what the hype is about.
I just know this will be my go-to party dress for the upcoming holiday-party season.
It's nice to see Zara getting in on the parachute-pant wave. I love the fit on these.
I've seen these in person, and the pictures online don't do them justice.
This jacket has returned for another year, and since I wasn't quick enough last time, I won't be making that same mistake again.
This set is perfect for days when you don't want to think too hard about what to wear.
A coat like this just makes everything you wear with it look so much chicer.
When dressing for the cold gets monotonous, interesting knits like this will save the day.
No, it's not just you. Denim boots are indeed everywhere. Instead of splurging on a designer pair, these are an affordable entry point into the trend.
This jacket is pricier than most Zara items, but it's made out of real leather, so I'd say it's worth it.
