Blue-Black

Friday, December 20, 2013

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!

  1. Great edgy look!

    I don't know what it is about Zara (or me) this season, but nothing in their fall or winter collection has really spoken to me. Good for my wallet, I guess!

    1. It's been the complete opposite for me -- way too many things I want from Zara that I've had to refrain from buying them all. It didn't really work because I bought up most items before they went on sale, hahaha. Sigh.

  3. Thanks for sharing about the sale! Was hoping to get the faux fur vest but looks like they're out. :(

    Love your outfit here, by the way!

    1. Ahh, sorry to see that :( The sale went live on midnight so I wonder if sizes were snatched up quickly. No worries, Zara seems to bring back this fur vest every year.
