By popular demand, here are the contents of my recent spring Zara haul. We all know I need another maxi dress like I need a hole in the head, but these were just too dang good to pass up. Plus, I’m gearing up for the impending South Carolina summer heat, so I’m justifying these purchases as survival gear.

Happy first full week of 2020! I hope everyone enjoyed the transition back to reality after the holidays- whether you’re taking it easy or going full speed ahead. I’m somewhere in between. Last weekend Phil and I took a one night staycation on Saturday at our local Delamar, followed by a day in the city with my mom and some friends; so my Monday morning was chock full of a case of the Mondays.

Oh, Zara: let me count the ways. There are few brands that can pull off affordable coolness the way Zara can. I've been a fan of their women's clothing for years; and when it comes to their duds for minis- they don't disappoint. I've loved dressing our girl in their chic little dresses {as seen here} since she was itty-bitty. Their prints are adorable, their palette is the perfect blend neutral and girly, and their price point is one that won't break the bank. Perfection.
