Do you ever have those days when no matter what you're doing or how hard you try to motivate yourself, you just can't stay on track? Well, that was me today. Luckily, part of my job involves shopping online, and per usual, I began by browsing Zara. Since there are constantly new arrivals flooding the site, there is basically always something new and shiny to look at. I rarely am able to exercise self-control when it comes to this retailer, but this time, I set some boundaries for myself.

Instead of scrolling aimlessly and naturally falling in love with the one $300 product on Zara's site, I set a $50 limit for myself. Curious what I ended up falling in love with? Ahead you'll see the entirety of my findings, each ringing in under $50. From holiday dresses to cozy sweaters, there's at least one thing in here that you can add to your cart, purchase, and then swiftly get back to your day.
