One thing my friends regularly ask me is, "What should I order next from Zara?" If you know me, you know that I know my way around a Zara like no other. I can always find those few picks that look way more expensive than they are. I'd like to think of it as one of my superpowers. I deep dive on the site daily, and this time when I reported back my findings to my group chat, I focused on finding really chic pieces that were under $50, and this time I have outdone myself. I found everything from the chicest minidresses to summer basics to accessories you'll love.
