| Blazer: Zara bought during current Sale (Similar here) Top: Forever 21 (From LOVE 21 line, Check stores) Earrings: Forever 21 (Get it here) Slacks: Alberta Ferretti (Last seen here) Cuff: Hermes Ring: Bvlgari (B.Zero 5 in 18K Yellow Gold) Pumps: Christian Louboutin (Similar Here) Sunnies: Chloe (Get it here) |
I first spotted this blazer at Zara back in April! A few weeks later, I decided to go back and try it on again... You can only imagine my intentions? "Snow White" would accompany me to the register! Sadly this blazer had "flown" off the shelves, or so I thought... Fast forward to Zara's semi-annual sale, which started earlier this month, and when I went in, I came across this blazer in ALL sizes, at both Chicago locations...marked down! I mentioned it to the Sales Associate and apparently, if certain pieces don't move fast enough, Zara will reserve those items in back for semi-annual sale! Seriously....their inventory management may be tricky but sometimes the wait just may be worth it!
Great look!
ReplyDeleteLove the bag and jewel!
That bag is stunning! You look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new post on my blog and I would love to hear what you think so feel free to stop by!

I sooooo agree with you Bessie!! Sometimes patience has its reward!! I love your look. The contrast of the top with the white blazer is gorgeous. And the addition of the Chanel bag and the Hermès cuff is just perfect for a chic and classy attire!!

I pinned you, Bond Girl! So tough but awesome! Love that jacket. The zipper details, the shape, and even a peplum back (??). Yay for waiting and yay for price reduction. That F21 top is awesome with the b/w outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit <3
ReplyDeleteYour Loubi shoes are the best!
It's lovely! I quite like some of Zara's blazer. They're very affordable as well.

ReplyDeleteLove, LOVE, L-O-V-E this outfit, Bessie.
ReplyDeleteBessie! we are look-a-likes today!! i'm wearing skinny black pants, a beige top and a white blazer with a low bun!!!! hahaha i like your choice for the top, because it gives a pop of summer-color to the look ;)
ReplyDeleteSince I went to Zara in Spain I decided to don't go there never again in the USA! everything was so low-priced I couldn't believed it, they charge us for the shipping :( But I just can't stop shopping there, everything is so chic!!!! oh, well...

Funny but just yesterday I was telling myself that when we go to Spain this year, I plan on getting a blazer from Zara. This one is so sharp (and I really like the top as well)
ReplyDeleteI love the story behind the blazer! Looks great with the Chanel handbag. xo
ReplyDeleteToo funny, the exact same thing happened to me with their floral print TRF bomber jacket. I called every single store to find it and they told me it was sold out everyone. Two months later, the store had like 20 of them in my size during the sale. Oh well, in the end, we are the ones who benefit because we get exactly what we want, but on sale! This outfit is so super chic, and I LOVE your purse!

Oh wow, what a sharp blazer! I'm a huge fan of the bold colorblocking and little details on your top, too. Another fab F21 find!
ReplyDeleteSeriously yourself...give me that bag and blazer now! Love how this beautiful Forever 21 top holds its own among so many high end pieces in this look. Oh, and send me the cuff, ring, and heels too...
ReplyDeletehttp://cstyledesign.blogspot.com

It's that gorgeous! You look beautiful as always! xoxo

ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! The jacket is amazing and you look gorgeous as always! Every time we visit my husband's parents, the first place I always make him take me to is the Magnificent Mile for Zara and H&M. Then, I make him take me to Joy Yee's in Chinatown for the shakes. Haha! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! I'm so glad you were able to get it even though you had to wait for the sale but then again you got a great deal on it that way. Way to go!

ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about this outfit? Nothing! I want everything. You look amazing as always. Really like the detail on the blazer. And I can't believe that's a F21 top....it looks very high end. I was there yesterday and I never find anything there...maybe that's a blessing in disguise :)

ReplyDeleteI guess it was just meant to be! Don't you love it when you find something you want AND it's marked down!? The blazer is one of those classic items that you will get lots of wear out of.. gorgeous, love the F21 top with it and the bag is perfect.

ReplyDeleteI seriously need a white blazer. Kind of a strange way for them to do things, but whatever works right?! At least you got your blazer AND it was marked down! Are you going to post the sequin skirts from fb yesterday? I'm curious what you decide!
ReplyDeleteWell isn't that interesting, if you can wait it out for the sale you can have a big win! For real, your cuff is out of this world! Of course another stunning outfit :).
ReplyDeleteThis sleek and chic look suits you so well! The Zara blazer is a great pick: I'm a fan of blazer in general because they are such versatile pieces. Oh, that Hermes cuff...every time I see that model, I wish I could get it...

ReplyDeleteSuch a chic outfit -- love the blazer!
ReplyDeleteWOAH! Look at you Ms. Thang!! You look so COOL. CALM. and CHIC!!! Love everything about this outfit! The trousers are fitted beautifully, the great print design of the yellow top, the crisp clean white blazer (wear in great health) and those gorgeous accessories: the pumps, bag, ring and that gorge bracelet?!?!? Utter designer perfection!
ReplyDeleteHow did that song go: You wear it well!!
And yes I do agree with you 100% about the "tricky inventory management" at Zara. Sometimes it is downright maddening! The lack of connectivity between their inventory and each store and the web (kudos to Nordie for that) is just frustrating when you find an item you love but cannot locate! Here's hoping they'll improve soon!
Hope you have a great Thursday my beautiful designer clad friend!
