I Haven't Shopped at Zara in a Year—Now I Have 49 Things in My Cart

With a pandemic keeping us homebound coupled with a pregnancy and postpartum period that was rife with changes (both of the physical and mental kind), Zara's not the only shopping destination I took a hiatus from over the past year. It is, however, the one I probably missed the most. That's why when I recently took a deep dive back into the brand's site—just in time for summer, I might add—I was overwhelmed but also elated by all the amazing options. Naturally, I want a lot, but since I can't possibly buy all 49 items on my current wish list (not even counting matching sets as two), I figured I might as well share them so that others out there can benefit from all the time I just put into this venture.

To see and shop all one million of my finds, broken down into categories from outerwear to beachwear to accessories, simply keep scrolling, and be sure to make me proud of what ends up in your cart.
