zara – the changing room

by Karen Blanchard
6 February 2010

Cropped trousers to show off platforms

Slim cut Wang-a-like drop crotch pants

Leather pouch bag (worth it for $40)

Not bad for Zara

Sequin top: Thrift (Beacons Closet). Jeans: Uniqlo. Ankle boots: All Saints. Crucifix: Fashionology. Ring: East village shop
Stopped by Zara after work and got a few clearance bits like these two blazers (the first one was $19).
The black drawstring pants are cut slim and have enough drop in the crotch to keep it updated but without going overboard on excess material.
The black drawstring bag was a score from LF’s winter clearance sale that started on Friday (60/70% off everything).
And the boots? Just eye candy. Didn’t buy any of them. It’s all about Spring now, so let’s see who comes out first with jaw dropping monster platform sandal wedges.

    Absolutely LUST Zara; you can never go wrong in there. Great finds!!! Love that thrifted top from Beacon’s. It gives me David Bowie or Foulkor from The Never Ending Story!!!!

    Everything looks great on you! How do you decide what to get? I’m diggin the wang-a-like trousers. Topshop has some great joggers I really wanna pair with a blazer. Two tone and tapered on the bottom. :). Is it weird to say I saw the same pouch bag at Zara and thought of you? It’s prob because I associate you with your DIY studded bag… 🙂

    Great eye! Particularly love those slouchy wedged boots, how amazing are they?! But I’m totally wishing the winter away too and looking out for hot spring and summer styles.

    i really love the clothes and all but i was just wondering..
    you do something else besides shopping?

    It just looks like you have so much shopping/free-time

    I’m quite jealous of your finds. I live in Japan and the ZARA here didn’t have any of that yummy goodness that you found. I did pick up a few nice faux fur vests. I love your style. Check out my blog if you ever have a moment

  44. emilypanda says:

    This makes me want to GO TO ZARA tomorrow morning asap! i love your blazers and the pics of the wedges.

  45. Karen says:

    Ernest B – David Bowie, I’ll take it.

    Shewearsheshares – naah not weird to me!

    J. Yas – your Zara has NONE of this stuff? although this is all clearance sale things so not as easy to confirm these would be at your zara too…

    Fadetoblack – no. yea grey would be sick.

    Fashion Chalet – the bag is from LF and I thought that too although I love the carpet bag look of the Miu Miu….

  46. Minette says:

    oh woooooooooooooow! FABULOUS BLOG!!! I ABSOLUTELY FOLLOW IT!!

  47. Tom Tuttle from Tacoma says:

    i like the colours of the shoes. the grey cropped pants would do so well with tan and woody shoes. has nobody copied celine’s tan clogs yet? maybe you could try to make your own by learning from luxirare.

  48. photos de Mode says:

  60. Kookie B. says:

    that silver sequin top is f*ckin awesome! and jealous that the Zara store over there carries those wonderful pieces. I’m not fond of the current collection here in Manila.
