Zara Fitting Room Reviews

I've recently becoming interested in Zara clothing, specifically their jackets. I think the main reason is because the brand caters to smaller people, it's stylish, and I've had luck finding outerwear in my size. I've only recently begun to explore their other clothing. 

 This dress is really pretty. It's a thin fabric, so it's probably meant to be worn in spring, although here in California it could definitely be worn year-round. The print is a funky navy and white. I'm not entirely certain how I'd describe the shape, maybe shift with a hint of flounce. I like that it's feminine and casual. I like the long sleeves and short hem, I think it's kind of refreshing. Unfortunately, at $79.90, I just couldn't justify the purchase. If this was at a lower price point, I definitely would have bought it.

Nordstrom Rack Designer Sale

Hello all! Today we're getting some much needed rain in the Los Angeles area, so I thought I'd use this rainy day as an opportunity to let you all in on a designer sale at Nordstrom Rack that is currently underway.

Nordstrom Rack is advertising designer prices 50-75% off. I stopped in not knowing quite what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised at the affordable prices. I steered clear of the pricier items (like Oscar de la Renta and such) and stuck to designers that struck my fancy. Here's what I tried! (Note: the pieces I picked up were either size 0, XS, or 25. I saw mostly small and large sizes, and not a whole lot in between).

 I like this Current/Elliot studded denim shirt, which I tried in a size 0. I never really embraced the denim shirt trend, so this would have been my first. I LOVE the stud detail on the collar, and the little shoulder plackets. This definitely has expensive details (and no wonder, it was originally $198.00!) I liked the medium wash, and the breast pockets. I liked the slim fit and the length. My only complaint was that maybe the sleeves seemed a little bit wide. I kind of loved this shirt, but for $64, I just really couldn't justify it. I'm not crazy about the denim-on-denim look, and I wear jeans almost every day, so this shirt wouldn't get a lot of wear in my wardrobe. But for someone looking to spend on a quality denim shirt, I have to say this is the way to go. Swing by your Rack and check it out. Get it On Sale for $89.10 here!

Old Navy Review

When I saw that Old Navy was having a 20% off sale in store, I decided to stop by. I don't usually have much luck there (something to do with their proportions, nothing ever looks right), but I had my eye on a particular cinch-tie workout hoodie. Most of their items were on sale (although not ALL women's items, as advertised), and I also stopped by the clearance rack to see if any of the fall/winter items I'd had my eye on were reduced. If you like Old Navy clothing, I recommend stopping by now and scoping out the sales. 

Warning: A TON OF FITTING ROOM PICTURES

Women's Lightweight Tie-Waist Jacket here. The "Basswood Brown" color was on sale for $20 in store. This one was full price at $39.99. I like the color and fit, although I noticed the tie-waist did accentuate the hips quite a bit. I passed because this is too lightweight for my needs. 

This was my favorite find! I can't find this online anymore, but it was on clearance in store for $14.50! It has a removable shearling collar and is 51% wool. The XS was a little bit wide on me but it was fully lined and very warm, so I couldn't pass it up. It will have to fulfill my "military green" lust until I find the right utility jacket.
