I Went Hard at Zara Last Week—11 Items I’m Keeping and 6 I’m Returning
I have a love-hate relationship with Zara. What I love are the clothes and the prices of the clothes, yes, that's a given. What I hate is how I end up buying nearly every damn cute and affordable item the brand makes. (Tell me something more relatable?).
I usually do a big Zara haul at the start of each season, to upgrade my wardrobe with on trend items, and then sporadically buy individual pieces in between. Last week, my major summer Zara shopping spree occurred (from the comfort of my own couch no less), and since I purchased everything online without ever seeing the pieces IRL, I knew that I'd end up returning at least a few things. Of my 22 new summer Zara finds, here is what I'm keeping and what I'm returning, along with a full review of each item from my shopping shenanigans. Enjoy!
I love this top so much that I also bought it in white. It's a little difficult to see in this photo but there's a ruching detail on the sides that feels so chic. The jeans however, didn't work for me. There's just a bit too baggy and I honestly didn't want to deal with getting them tailored.I bought this for the happy lime color, but I kept it for the quality ribbed fabric.Regardless of the fact that I won't be going back to an office anytime soon, I'm still stocking up on button down shirts. I love the way this one looks knotted at the front but I'll also throw it over a bikini as a cover up. I'm equally as into this twisted-front skirt. I have a feeling I'll be wearing this one a lot this summer.I like the idea of this top in theory, however the length on me felt a bit awkward. It was too long to be considered a crop top and too short to tuck into trousers or jeans. Alas, I decided to return this one.However, I would like to acknowledge that the back detail is very cute. Tall friends should try this one out!This easy basic was an immediate favorite. I love this periwinkle shade but will probably end up buying the dress in one of the other four colors too. This will be my go-to for those days where I go straight from the beach to an outdoor dinner.I love wearing linen dresses in the summertime and this one just shot straight up to the top of my list. I have no idea where I'll wear it since it's not quite casual enough for everyday but I'm excited for it to make it's debut, ideally styled with a pair of colorful strappy sandals.Not yet convinced? I took a shot of the gorgeous strappy back just in case.This dress landed in the return pile because it lacked any shape and I was drowning in the fabric a bit too much. The size pictured here is an XS for reference.I'm sorry but I couldn't figure out how to tie this top, so I simply had no choice but to say goodbye. The jeans sadly also didn't work out due to my height yet again. I'm still on the hunt for a pair of slit jeans meant for us short girls (I'm just under 5'4'').This white cropped top worked out much better. It's a cotton material but much more interesting than your average tee thanks to those fun side ties.Hello, my new favorite vacation dress. Now all I need to do is plan one. Please note, I will be getting the straps shorted slightly to avoid my current side boob situation.I'm a big fan of dresses with scrunched fabric like this (see blue dress above), so yes I did choose to keep another one. Not to quote The Devil Wears Prada, but "they're just so different."This top was a bit more of a sports bra look than I anticipated. I didn't feel like I needed it so out it goes. The shorts however, I Needed with a capital N. They're even cuter in real life if you can image.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
