By As promised here is what I picked up at And Other Stories and Zara. I have not done a major shopping in over a year and a half and have not bought any fast fashion in almost two years except for a hat I bought in January of 2020. I tend to buy a bit more fast fashion in the summer months and I buy things I know I am going to keep for a long time. I hope you enjoy my mini haul here and let me know what is your favorite!
XOXO

July 5, 2021You got some great things! I’m the same – I buy more in the warmer months. It just makes sense, when it’s warm so most of the year here and when it’s cooler it’s easy to layer summer pieces to make them work for colder days! 🙂
Hope your week is off to a great start 🙂

July 5, 2021Kudos for getting out and dealing with the half hour wait in a line at Zara.
To me, being as reclusive as I am, and what with Covid-19 and other insecurities,
that seems impressive all by itself.
I hope you find your light blue denim jacket.
The new darker one looks nice.
That cropped orange crocheted sweater looks pretty.
I love that pretty, airy long-sleeved black dress you got
from Other Stories featured at 7:19 of the video,
as well as the red blouse with ruffle details at the shoulders at 9:06.
Great shopping haul – well done!

Beijos.

July 8, 2021A denim jacket is always a must-have! It’s cute and goes with (almost) everything! The red-smocked red top is darling, love the print and sleeves.
I feel the same way about fast fashion, I try to buy less but what I do buy are garments that are stylish but also good quality (well, as good as you can get at Fast Fashion stores) that I know will last me for a long long while.
Thanks for sharing your haul, I enjoyed it!

July 9, 2021Yeah that is why for many reasons I like shopping in person though that has its down sides too.

July 12, 2021I enjoyed that wonderful video! Those items form Zara you got are perfect, and particularly I love that orange cropped top<3

July 12, 2021Such a fun mini haul Allie!
I just came from the blog post where you are wearing the crochet top and I really like how you immediately use it, such a lovely summer look!
I know that And Other Stories also has really good accessories with nice quality, love the pieces you get there and as far as I know they last longer in comparisson to other brands of the same group. That red shirt is also perfect, looks even more expensive and I’m excited to see you wearing it on the blog!

July 15, 2021I so badly need to go shopping for clothes! I feel like everything is so blah now, I want more colour and more dresses. I do love that black dress you showed that also had a white option, looks so nice.

July 17, 2021If I lived near the beach, I would be there after work too. I really thought your Isabel Marant top was a dress! I love it. Great video, Allie! That yellow sweater is my favorite piece in this vid. And I know what you mean about the weather. The DC area is similar with it being either too hot or too cold on most days. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
