I Just Removed Everything From My Sister's Zara Cart—Here's What I Added Instead


There's nothing I love more than when friends and family members ask me to help them shop. My sister, in particular, is one of the first to ask me what trends, styles, and staples she should get her hands on from season to season. She also asks whether or not she should buy certain items, and I'll always give my honest opinion because if there's anyone I can be brutally honest with, it's my sister!
When she recently asked for my opinion on what was in her Zara cart, I happily obliged. Thirty minutes later, she had a fresh handful of versatile, chic, and fashion-forward items in her basket that I know will see her through many occasions this summer in utmost style. She seems pretty excited about the pieces that are on the way to her too—especially since most items clock in at under $100. If you're curious, take a look below to see what I added to her cart, from casual and elevated basics to dreamy dresses and sleek sandals. You may be inclined to add them to your cart too.
For your next summer soirée.
