Fast fashion. Hate.

Chic on-trend clothes I can actually afford. Love.

I tend to not shop at Zara because of the fast fashion element, but I have picked up a few things from there before. Namely, this black crop top and these jeans.

I stopped into the store in the first place because I was dying to know where my sister got her jeans. She wanted to buy some more, my mom and her were in town and we decided to do a mini jean haul. Thus I ended up with my first items from Zara.

I got two pairs of jeans in this event, probably about a year ago now. And lemme tell you, they are my go to jean. I wear my Zara jeans over my thrifted Seven’s, Hudsons, Joe’s. They are my favorite cut and hem, they make me look and feel my best. I am obsessed with them.

I am noticing that they are starting to wear out, and I can tell they won’t last a super long time.

But I will love them while they last. Then I’ll shell out for some Levi’s that should last so long my daughters will be able to borrow them.

What are your thoughts on Zara? Do you shop here? Have you found a slow fashion alternative?
