Best of Zara + Other Affordable Finds
I scrolled Zara's website so you don't have to...
Sometimes when the shoppies hit, you just need a little something that won’t break the bank!
I’m not a frequent Zara shopper, but if the quality matches the imagery, they’ve been kind of killing it as of late.
I’ve compiled my fave recent Zara finds + a few other goodies that are all $250 and below!
Let’s dive in!

Best of Zara
Trousers; Dress; Dress
There is something so fresh about ecru in the summertime. I love a true white just as much, but I especially love mixing the two — so elegant.
I also love a silky grey that isn’t too grey, ya know? This dress would be incredible with flip-flops and an oversized tote. Very on-shore chic, no?
Top; Pants; Top
Zara, I was not familiar with your top game! If these two are even half as cute IRL as they are online, I am sold. There is nothing that ignites an instant dopamine hit quite like a ruffle for me. Thus, I love peplum. Sorry!!! It looks great, and it’s always in style as far as I am concerned. I also adore the asymmetry of this top. Very elevated. Very easy. I would pair them both with capris and kitten heels or jorts and real-deal heels.
Speaking of easy, don’t sleep on these pants. (Or do! They look comfortable!) I would style with flip-flops and a graphic tee for a coffee run immediately.
Top; Pants; Set
Another peplum moment! Get into it! Loving it styled with a matching pant or skirt.
I am also very into pink right now (and always!). I love the oversized waistband on these. They remind me of the Anthro ones I am in love with. They will be so easy to style with sandals and tanks all summer long! I would size down in these fyi!
And you know I love a matching set. It’s truly a how-to-look-pulled-together cheat code. Pair this look with jelly sandals and or a platform expeditiously.
Other Affordable Finds
Sandals; Belt; Top; Earrings; Earrings
We’ve moved on from Zara, but we haven’t moved on from the affordability!
I love a freaky shoe, so these special Havaianas are right up my alley! They’ll make your sweats feel more intentional! I also am still super into a paracord moment. This belt is fun and would work well with dresses and denim.
Again with the pink! This top is very much giving Doen, and we love that! It would look fab with a jort or a summer jean. So ethereal!
Summer to me is the best time to break out the big guns earrings. Statement earrings are B-A-C-K, and I am very much into it. You can pop them on with sundresses, but I also like juxtaposing them with something more unexpected. Think: a vintage T-shirt, a cropped Hanes tank, or a sports jersey. Very cool girl.
Top; Top; Shorts; Bag
This color top is perfect for summer. I am always in favor of experimenting with color, and I love pairing this blue with pinks and greens. Or you can balance it out with black and white.
This set is exactly what I am reaching for when I am running out the door for coffee and errands. I would pair with a jelly sandal or a mule.
And this bag may not be for everyone, but I think it’s so fun. If you can’t play around with your bag wardrobe, what are we even doing anymore?? Bags! Should! Be! Fun! (Kyle Cooke voice). Boring bags? Not! fun!
Bag; Shoes; Tank; Sweats
I almost screamed when I found this bag. Everything about it is actual perfection, and I would honestly pay twice the price.
This may surprise you, but I am actually very much into a Teva in the right application. I think these would be a fab option for a throw-on-and-go shoe that feels summery and cutie.
I linked this adorbs tank on IG this week, and everyone loved it, so I wanted to share it here, too, ICYMI. Mine was allegedly delivered yesterday. (It was actually delivered today, but they marked it as delivered yesterday. Rude.) I’m planning to wear her tonight, and I’ll report back!
I have been predicting a huge resurgence in Free City for a while now, and I think the renaissance is finally upon us! I love all of mine, and I am eagerly eyeing this gorg purple pair for my next acquisition. They’re so easy to style, and I love that they’re thin enough to wear even when it’s 90 out!
Happy Friday, babes! I hope you have the best weekend ever. :)))
