Pants: Zara; Blazer: Zara; Shoes: Gucci
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned while discovering my personal style is balance. After going on a Zara diet for over a year, I recently started shopping there again. To recap for my new readers, in 2015, I went on a Zara diet after the one closest to me shut down for renovations. Although horrified at first, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It helped me really pinpoint my personal style and appreciate quality over quantity.
After over a year away from Zara, I have to admit I was incredibly critical of the brand. While I still believe the quality you get is what you pay for, I’ve come to a place where I’m comfortable buying the odd few pieces from Zara. As much as I love my high-quality basics, I also love picking up some on-trend pieces – something Zara is great for. So after giving it much thought, I decided that the best kind of wardrobe is a mixture of high-street and high-end. While picking outfits for NYFW, I fell in love with this blazer and pants, both of which are from Zara. However, I thought the best way to add a luxe touch to it was with my Gucci loafers. See? It’s all about balance.
Babe!! seriously this look is EVERYTHING!! Im so in love!! I just need this whole outfit please!!! xxx

Hi Siffat, Thank you for sharing your guide to NYFW. It was really interesting and as much I am not a fashion week person, I think if I change my mind, I will know how to get around.
For this post, I wold just like to say that I can’t believe that you are feeling the same. I also stopped going to Zara and now I found some interesting pieces there. I think you can find good clothes, if you search there but I am not Zara person anymore.
Big hugs and have a great start of the week!

Loved the zara pants and blazer! Totally agree with zara, it serves a purpose for trendy items that you don’t know you’ll like in a couple of months!

I’m starting to cut down on my Zara purchases. I’m reevaluating the whole fast fashion thing and opting for timeless higher quality pieces. That being said, I can’t resist the temptations from time to time!

You killed this all white outfit girl!! Zara really can become addictive, so it’s good you were able to step back for a while! I also occasionally mix some basics and trend pieces from Zara into my outfits 🙂

Would love for you to check out my new beauty tutorial!!

You’re totally right, it’s all about balance when it comes to outfits. Mixing high street brands with high end ones is a great idea. You look fab,love those loafers. xx

I have never been a huge Zara fan, but they have really nice and affordable pieces for when you wish to be on the latest trend 🙂

Such a good balance babe! I personally love outfits that are a mix of high street and designer – makes it more ‘stylish’ than just an outfit that is head to toe brands!
Love this outfit on you too – you look SO good in all white!

You look absolutely gorgeous! I love the set paired with those loafers. I actually remember when you first started your Zara diet, glad you’ve rediscovered the brand, they really have some cute pieces and I agree, it’s nice to mix high and low for a more diverse closet. Thanks for sharing and I hope you’re having a great week so far!

Love this all-white outfit! It looks so chic and feels expensive! I think it’s always great to mix some high quality pieces with cheaper trendy ones. Great outfits such as this one come up from that! 😉

I am with you on this, I like to mix too. Most of my outfits will be high street but my accessories are always on the higher end.

For sure white suit is a trend isn’t it! And I agree that Zara is a good place to go for when it comes to weird on trend items!

I also like to balance out designer/investment pieces with more affordable ones. I haven’t shopped at Zara for a while now over ethical reasons but I find that it’s easier to stretch out the wearability of a classic piece by balancing it with pieces from all over the pricing spectrum!

This look is amazing! I’m forever on a Zara diet as I always end up regretting purchasing pieces there but I will admit, they do photograph nicely.

I like how you are calling it your Zara diet. That is too funny. I personally love it for on trend pieces at affordable prices, but we don’t have one close so I rarely have items from there. This all white outfit is amazing on you. Coolest pants!

Guuurl, if only we could all balance with Gucci! Its funny you should do a Zara-focused post, I was obsessed with their past 2 current seasons- some real great on-trend pieces and pieces that had a vintage vibe (which you know I love). But I have to admit, I’m not loving their Spring collection at the moment…but that’s good coz I bought the store out in Jan coz of their Winter Sales!
I looove this look, so casual luxe. Have a good weekend hon ( :
