Here's What to Buy at Zara If You Have Timeless Taste and an $80 Budget
With the end of February here, I've fully shifted into spring shopping, even with the recent blizzard in New York City. This morning, I decided to browse Zara with a little challenge in mind: finding the best spring pieces for $80 and under.
I started in the dress section and found the Short Mock Neck Dress for $40, the Godet Halter Midi Dress and the Nylon Midi Dress With Ties for $70, and the Asymmetric Midi Dress for $80.
Among the skirts, there were plenty of options as well. The Polka Dot Midi Skirt is priced at $50, and the Volume Midi Skirt and Voluminous Midi Skirt are both available for $60.
For tops, I found basics and knitwear like the $15 Polyamide Strappy Top, the $20 Washed Effect Rib Halter Top, the $50 Extrafine Knit Cardigan, and the $70 Zip-Up Knit Jacket.
Below, see a selection of what stood out.
