When I first saw this coat in Zara, they were just putting it out on the floor. I thought the contrasting arms were just gorgeous. But I left it behind, while a friend of mine bought it. Seething with jealously, we left, her prize nicely hers and slung over her shoulder in a sleek black garment bag. Well...
Two months passed and the same friend and I were downtown perusing the stores when she suggested we check out Zara. Just before leaving, we went up to the second floor, and there, loaded on a rack was the very same coat marked down to $29.90 I bought it!
Yes, yes, yes, I broke my shopping ban, but I did say that I may slip every now and then. So here's me coming clean...but a word in my defense, I did sell two pairs of Frye's on eBay so...
My slips:
Rebecca Minkoff Mac (but I really did get it at a good price. Check it out on my Instagram here)
RayBan Sunspecs (the ones I'm wearing in this post...I blame Vday and I blame Lisa at L&T)
Jeffrey Campbell Studded Loafers (I don't have white shoes; if I didn't get them they'd be sold out)
One Teaspoon Denim cutoffs...(again, they'd be sold out later plus I need them for vacation)...
That's all :)
What I'm Wearing:
Zara Fur Coat
Orig: Price: $99.00
Paid: $29.90
Top: Gap
Pants: JCrew
Collar: Sibilia via Free People
Shoes: BCBG
Sunspecs: RayBan
Lips: Mac Quick Sizzle

I love all your little rationalizations for spending the money. I know all too well that when you have to get it, you just have to! Lol.. And how bout waiting to buy that Zara coat and saving in the long run, you atleast deserve a reward for that. I love everything about this look, the poses, the back drop, just lovely. Do it chic!

I must say you seriously know how to spoil yourself! I'm glad you bought this jacket and better still, at a bargain!! It's really pretty and I'm sure it kept you warm and snugged =)
ReplyDeleteLove everything but mostly the lipstick - why! oh why is it so hard to buy MAC products in Poland?!
ReplyDeleteLove it when you see items you want in the sale! Can't believe what a bargain you got here!

That coat is gorgeous and I cannot believe you got it for $30! I kept buying things at full price at Zara in Chicago thinking the next time I go back it'll be gone.....WRONG TOTALLY WRONG! EVERY item I've bought has gone on sale...for like 50% off what I paid ahhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to know what that lip color is. It is perfect!! You look great.
