You know that feeling you get when you walk into a Zara store and all you smell is good fashion with moderate-to-high prices? Well, if you walk into a Zara store today, all you’ll be smelling are discounted price tags! Yup, Zara‘s on sale and I didn’t waste any time trying to score some goodies at my favourite fast-fashion retailer.

A Zara store isn’t just a place to buy clothes, it’s a feeling—and that feeling got a whole lot more valuable for me. But as I made a “quick” (like that’s ever happened!) pit stop at the store, my fashion senses tingled, inclining me towards items I’d see in magazines and on influencers’ Instagram feeds all the time but never thought I’d wear! So, I went. I shopped. And then I thought I’d share my haul with you guys… Here are the 4 items I bought:

1. SLOUCHY BUTTONED TROUSERS

One thing you should know about me is that I live and breate in my denim jeans. No pair of bottoms have ever come close to making me feel comfy and look put together. So these paper-bag khaki trousers was a first—and I love them so much! Even though I have a slightly narrow and small torso, the paper-bag feature did a great job in leaning out my midriff.

2. PRINTED TOP + PANT SET

Another first—a co-ord set! But something other than the comfort levels attracted me to this outfit. Perhaps the earthy and tribal-like print… Nonetheless, it was definitely something that was quickly added to my cart.

Also, surprise, surprise… I wasted no time trying this trend on:

3. NEON TEE

I’m not usually the kind to jump on the trend bandwagon, but the neon trend was something I could do. I have a ton of simple (and neutral-coloured) tees, so why not be adventurous and shake it up a little, amirite?

4. ANIMAL PRINT LEGGINGS

Leggings are a must in any girl’s wardrobe. And while the animal print trend is still hot, I thought why not mix the two—comft and style, to make a statement! P.S: The material on this fella is so good, you wouldn’t wanna take them off. Plus, they’re black in colour, so they match with everything.
