As I predicted the other day when I went into Zara, the sale started today. I could tell by the way that they had organized the store, which actually seems like it was completely unorganized.

This means that I won’t be going into Zara for a while, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, except for the return that I have to put off.

I haven’t bought anything from the sale either which is a show of self-control for me.

Usually, if I don’t buy something right at the start of the sale, then I generally don’t buy anything because it gets picked over fast.

I will say that I am excited that this means that fall and winter product will be coming in, which is where I like to focus any wardrobe budget that I have anyway.

I did find a great wrap sweater/top on Poshmark though, but I seemed to have got a seller who takes a long time to ship.
