Over the weekend, I picked up two more sale items when I went to return the pair of Alexander Wang Liya knock-off heels. As much as I love the heels, the pair that I received had scuffs on one of the front toe box and one of the heels. I had left them sitting in the box wondering if I should keep them and on the last day for returns, I finally decided to return them albeit a heavy heart. I’ve decided that I should only keep purchases that I will not have to worry about or regret about it months later. Thus, back it went.
I will admit that ZARA is my weakness and I can never leave the store without checking out what’s in store even if I do not plan on making any purchases. Heh. Well, I ended up picking up these two items on sale – ZARA Cross Over Jacket with Leather Lapels ($99) & ZARA TRF Draped Bird Print Dress ($25.99).
ZARA Cross Over Jacket with Leather Lapels $99
ZARA TRF Draped Bird Print Dress $25.99
As much as I like this jacket, I am wondering if I am overdoing the biker jacket trend since I had just bought the ZARA biker leather jacket here. There were only two left in the store, one of which happened to be my size but am I purchasing with my sale goggles on?
As for the bird print dress, I couldn’t resist the adorable print! Besides, I do not have any dress in a similar style and needless to say, the price was right, too. 😉 Now, to keep or return the jacket?! Your input is much appreciated! 🙂
Love love the bird dress!! So wonderfully whimsical and what a fun, flattering cut! The jacket is super cool, but I personally prefer your leather one, and they ARE pretty similar… It’s a toughy!! I might return it and save the money, but I do really like it!!

Thanks for your input, Maigen! I think I’ll have to mull over this for a bit. #firstworldproblems. 😉
I just love Zara too! You’ve picked up such great pieces! That jacket is awesome, and the dress is so pretty! Too bad about the shoes, but I’m sure you’ll find another pair you love just as much.

Why, thank you for your kind words, Jenny! 🙂
First of all, I love the bird print dress and now I want to go to Zara to see if they have it! In regards to the jacket, I think it’s really nice, although similar to the leather one featured previously in your blog. It’s a tough choice and when something is a good price it makes it even tougher to decide!
Good luck! They had a few in my local store here so let me know if you can’t find it at your local ZARA. I’m trying to be prudent, so it’s making it difficult to decide but thanks for chiming in. 🙂
I probably wouldn’t have returned them.. because well, shoes will get scuffed anyway, and that’s the reason they were discounted.. they are pretty!

Thank your for chiming in, Kier! I ordered the heels online and they came from the warehouse, so I was disappointed that they were not “perfect” as my previous orders even during sale were in mint condition. Since they couldn’t give me an extra discount, I decided it was best for me to return it. 🙂
I love the dress! And I’d probably keep the jacket, but I’m known to buy and keep items that are very similar.
You have a beautiful physique. Did you used to dance? You look like a ballerina! : )

Thanks for your input and your kind words, Kerry! 🙂
And good eye! I did take ballet lessons for 6 years when I was younger. 😉
