I Took a Break From Shopping, But These Zara Finds Pulled Me Back In
Shopping for myself is my idea of a good time, but lately, it's been on pause. In the interest of being a little selfless during the holidays, I've directed all of my shopping energy toward saving up to buy everyone else gifts. Needless to say, I've been on somewhat of a spending sabbatical, and I still have more time to go before my self-imposed break is finished. So far, I've resisted the urge to buy everything haunting my Instagram and TikTok feeds, but after browsing through Zara's new lineup, I may have to cheat a little.
The newest drops at the retailer have just been too good. Artful prints, expensive-looking coats, and romantic floral pieces that look like they could be from Saint Laurent—I am sold. My wallet won't be too thrilled, but at least my closet will be. After a solid hour of combing through the entire site, my cart is overflowing to the brim with trendy pieces I want to wear immediately. And because I really am selfless, I'm sharing them all below. Keep scrolling to check them out.
