Sale alert: Fall/winter sale at Zara has begun! I'm not sure why they pushed it back by a few weeks this year, as in the past it's always occurred on Black Friday. Prices will be further discounted with time, but styles/sizes will be limited.

My purchases from the past few months + an old favorite:
- Straight combination dress - $39.99 (I'm wearing sz S with sides slimmed just a tad / outfits: here, here, here)
- Checked blazer with elbow patches - $59.99 - check for popbacks (went up a size for shoulders - I'm wearing sz S / outfits: here, here, here)
- Silk satin high heel court shoe - $69.99 - check for popbacks (went up half size - I'm wearing sz 6.5 / outfits: here, here, here)
- Girl fur vest with belt - $29.99 (I'm wearing sz L from ~2 years ago / outfits: here, here, here)

Other picks: high heel high-cut leather boot ($139.99 - purchased, hope it works out!); suede leather court shoe with mid heel ($59.99 - love the electric blue color - wear my Sole Society pumps often); moccasin with decorative band ($19.99 - love my Gap moccasins)

There's something about leather pants with a silky blouse that seems minimalist chic to me. I'll definitely be wearing this combination again over the weekend as the weather warms up even more. Have a great weekend, everyone!
