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 towards saving up to buy everyone else gifts. Needless to say, I’ve been on somewhat of a spending sabbatical. I still have more time to go before my self-imposed break is finished, and 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.

In case you didn’t know, rose chokers are one of those It-girl accessories fashion people seem to be loving lately. I’ve been searching for one forever, and at this price, I may have to get two.

Zara’s denim jumpsuit has spurred a lot of internet buzz, so I’m eager to finally see what the hype is about.

Doesn’t this look like it would be at least $300?

I just know this will be my go-to party dress for the upcoming holiday party season.

It’s nice to see Zara getting in on the parachute pants wave. I love the fit on these.

Excuse me while I gasp out loud.

I’ve seen these in person and the pictures online don’t do them justice.

I’ve only included the pants here, but just know I’m buying the whole set.

This jacket has returned for another year, and since I wasn’t quick enough last time, I won’t be making that same mistake again. 

Heeled black boots are my cold-weather staple.

This set is perfect for days when you don’t want to think too hard about what to wear.

A coat like this just makes everything you wear with it look so much chicer.

This print is calling my name.

When dressing for the cold gets monotonous, interesting knits like this will save the day.

It doesn’t get much cooler than this.

From the color to the faux fur collar, there’s big Marni energy here.

Plaid never fails.

No, it’s not just you, denim boots are indeed everywhere. Instead of splurging on a designer pair, these are an affordable entry point into the trend.

Make uninspired office outfits a thing of the past.

I can’t imagine this staying in stock for long.

Yes, I want to feel like I’m being hugged 24/7.

This entire outfit is number one on my winter mood board.

 The subtle Y2K references here are incredible.

Some holiday styling advice: get gloves!

Style this with jeans, black trousers or the matching skirt.

It’s you, you’re the disco ball.

A slip dress with a little pizazz.

This jacket is pricier than most Zara items, but made out of real leather I’d say its worth it.

It’s the season of the see-through dress!
