I'm a Picky Zara Shopper, and This Is What I'm Buying There for Fall
Much like every other girl I know, I’m a big fan of Zara. I love shopping there (both online and in-store) for everything from tops and dresses to sandals and sweaters. However, I like to think that over the years I’ve gotten smarter about buying from the fast-fashion giant. Whereas I used to walk in and almost mindlessly purchase anything I saw there (especially if there was a sale going on) because I felt like it was easy and affordable, I’ve now become a lot more selective about what I’ll spend on and what’s worth the closet space.
This is actually part of a bigger shift in my life toward conscious shopping that encompasses all brands and stores, but it’s made a more noticeable difference when it comes to those lower-priced pieces because they were easier to go for on a whim. So are you curious what this discerning eye is looking at for fall? It’s actually quite a lot—38 items to be exact—but as you’ll soon see, a lot of really strong finds. From outerwear to shoes—trust me when I say don’t skip the shoes!—see and shop my Zara edit for the coming season below.
