This, Not This: Vol. 8

Zara can be overwhelming. That’s why you need to channel your inner NINJA and follow my 5 secrets for shopping the store. Here are 7 trendy pieces to add-to-cart.

TREND: UPDATED PUFFERS

I love the high neck and shorter length of this Puffer Jacket ($89.90). The quilted pattern adds visual interest and the drawstring hem at the waist alleviates the worry of looking like a potato sack.

TREND: DARK DENIM JACKETS

A denim jacket is a closet staple, but even staples need an update. This season, I’m opting for this waist-length turned-up sleeve ($49.50) style.

TREND: BUSTIERS

I’m here for the corset trend, but instead of channeling Bridgerton, I’m going with this menswear-inspired bustier top ($89.90).

TREND: RED

Red is a hot color for fall but, instead of committing to a dress, try a red blazer, like this cropped style ($89.90), which effortlessly elevates any outfit with a touch of chic vibrancy.

TREND: PEARL DETAILS

A white button-down is a closet staple for every season. I love the detail on this Satin Effect Pearl Shirt ($49.50). It’s updated, but still classic and versatile.

TREND: BOLD NECKLACES

Sometimes you just need one bold accessory to complete a look and this Pointed Rigid Choker ($35.90) is a definite head-turner.

TREND: WHITE PUMPS

White after a Labor Day? Y-E-S. These Slingback Heels ($49.90) offer a fresh and sophisticated touch to everything from denim to dresses.

And as always, do you. Wear what makes YOU happy — this is just what’s bringing me joy when it comes to fashion.
