Zara Shopping Haul!!

Hey there! I've just recently went and bought some items from Zara during their sale. Today, I will show you everything that I got, and I will also give some details about the item and how I would style it.

'EMBROIDERED TOP WITH RUFFLES'

This shirt is from the kid's section. I'm quite petite, so I can fit the girls' largest size (13-14). The shirt comes in multiple colors, and I wanted to buy more colorful shirts, because I've collected too many white shirts. It has a rectangular neck line with some embroidery. The ruffles sleeves stop and sit on top on the shoulders. For me personally it was a little long to be untucked, but it looks great with jeans. You can tuck them into it or tie it at the front. I think it will also look cute with shorts, skirts, and other pants. The color and silhouette can elevate a look that is also casual.

'CORDUROY JACKET WITH FRAYED TRIM'

This is also from the kid's section of the same size. I really fell in love with this jacket. I don't own a jacket like this with such a bold color. The fabric is also very nice and a bit oversized. I think this can also make a casual outfit look more thought-out. You can wear it with leggings and a t-shirt, a dress, or jeans and a tank. This piece can really just add more to your outfit. It will look good with anything as long as the colors coordinate.

'RUSTIC TOP WITH STRAPS'

You can find a lot of these tops at Zara. This top has polka dots and pleats at the bottom. I think investing money on tops that are very stylish can really benefit a person. You can look cute without even trying. With this top, you can easily slip into jeans or shorts and look like you're camera-ready.

'FAUX SUEDE BUTTONED DRESS'

These dresses come in more colors, but I like these two colors best with my skin-tone and hair color. The faux suede is very nice and soft, and the interior is also quite comfortable. The buttons snap shut into each other, so it's a lot easier to get into and fasten the dress than regular buttons. I pair them with dress shoes for formal occasions and sneakers for everyday wear. During the winter months, it's easy to slip a thermal long-sleeve under and tights.

'TITLE NOT AVAILABLE'

I don't think this shirt is available anymore, because I tried finding the shirt title online. I actually bought this in-store at the time. Most of the shirts that I wear there are smalls, but I got an XS in this shirt and still had to put tape under the shirt to prevent it from slipping. I've recently fell in love with balloon sleeves, so I thought I would give this shirt a go. The silhouette of the shirt is very different from any shirt I've seen or worn before. There is also a bow in the back that you can adjust to fit your waist. I got some 80's vibes with the oversize-ness of the shoulders and sleeves, so I wore some thick gold hoops and black denim jeans. The shirt does rise up a bit, so high-waisted jeans are the way to go. Plus, I think wearing something simple is best to let the top speak for itself.

'BASIC DEMIN PINAFORE'

I've gotten my first denim overall dress, and I'm excited to wear it. I've just been wearing my sister's before this. This is also from the kid's section but is pretty loose. I love wearing dresses that you can slip over other tops and blouses. These type of dresses are both, again, casual but make you look polished. I know it's a reoccurring theme in this post, but I like buying things that help me balance the casualness of everyday life and my high fashion tastes and desires.

I hope you enjoyed today's post! See you next Tuesday for another one!
