I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! Before I get into this post, I wanted to remind everyone about the $50 SEPHORA Giftcard Giveaway. This giveaway requires a little more effort than just commenting, but it’s definitely worth it because I think you’ll find that the KartMe website will be really useful in your everyday life and you’ll be happy you signed up. Go to my giveaway here.
On Saturday I was really sick (to my stomach) and had to spend most of the morning and afternoon at home until I felt better. It was awful. I hate being sick on weekends because I feel so unproductive. I did start feeling better later in the afternoon so I decided to check out the Zara semi-annual sale. It was actually nice to get out of the house for a couple of hours after being home all day.
I ended up purchasing two dresses that I had tried on during previous visits to the store but didn’t buy. I was so glad to find them on sale.
First was this pretty white dress:
It’s a linen material and I love the way the fabric is layered at the bottom. The dress is lined but is quite sheer so I got a nude-colored slip today at Target for under $10 to wear underneath it.
The second dress is a really body-hugging style but I love the sleeves on it. Not sure if I will keep or remove the bow. It’s quite flattering on, but I might need to get spanx or something because it’s not very forgiving.
I assure you that both dresses look better ON than they do on the hanger. I will do some OOTD’s with them soon. They were both on sale for $29.99 each.
Speaking of dresses, I wore my Express tiered ruffle dress that I got last weekend out for dinner on Friday night. I paired it with my J. Crew belt and Michael Kors wedges (I just love his shoes…and hangbags and watches…)
I also have another OOTD from Friday (during the day). I wore a bright-colored dress from target with a long open-faced cardigan from Charlotte Russe and my J. Crew ballet flats:
…and a BIG HELLO from LULU!
Did you score any deals at Zara? I actually wish I would have spent more time looking through everything but the store was so crowded!
xoxo,
Veronika.

I did not know Zara was having a sale. I might have to go and check it out during the week.
I love the white dress you got, it's so pretty. I also have that belt you have from JCrew and I love it!
Hope you are feeling much better.

Love the white dress. We don't have Zara around here so when we go to Chicago a stop at Zara is pretty much a must :).
Mere says
Love you outfit post of the black dress and the gray cardi is perfect with that other outfit. Great pics!!
Sandra says
Love the second OOTD! You look great! What color polish do you have on in those pics?

sandra- it's two coats of OPI's "alpine snow" with two coats of essie's "minimalistic" over it.

new reader 🙂 love the j. crew belt – you're inspiring me to get more belts since I have tons of long cardigans that I need to style different ways for work. and love the long cardigan from Charlotte Russe, I might have to check that store out!

Oooh Zara is a fun store, I love everything you got. I think the bow detail on the black dress is sweet and hopefully you'll keep it on! 🙂 you could still accent the outfit with a bracelet or long necklace. Great outfits too!
Couture and Crayons says
No Zara here around me, but that could be a good thing. I hit the Gap and Saks sale, gotta love additional off sale prices! Your outfits are cute as usual! Hope you are feeling better.

I think I've said it before and I'll say it again – I love you in that orange/coral colour!! SO pretty.
Lulu!! Adorable!! Hehe!
Okay, lastly, I didn't REALIZE Zara was having a semi-annual sale. We JUST got a Zara here (less than a year ago) and I didn't know… until I started seeing all these blog posts about people's trips and scores at the 'semi annual sale' – damnnit! Was it one day only?! Am I S.O.L.??? 🙁

Mary says
Great scores – I wish I had a Zara! The outfit with the gray cardi is adorable.
I've been looking for a nude slip to wear under my semi-sheer dresses… do you know what brand the slip from Target is? What material is it?
French lover says
Sales start on wednesday in France – Zara is definitely on my stores to check out list !!
Sandra says
Thanks!
The New Mrs says
I have that same Express tiered ruffle dress and love, love, love it! Looks like the trip to Zara's was a success. Hope you're feeling better!

Beautiful Veronika! I didn't know Zara was having a sale, but then again my nearest Zara is about an hour and fifteen minutes away. It's a treat (and a trek) when I go there in Orange County. I cannot stress how much I love Michael Kors as well 😉
Rock that Look says
I just need to say that I LOVE that coral dress on you 🙂
