Zara is having a pretty friggin’ awesome sale right now!

After searching high and low for a long plaid vintage skirt, I struck gold when I found this little number for $40 marked down from $80.  I love it so much that I’ve worn it twice in the last week: Once with a burgundy turtleneck and again as you see it here.

Excuse me as I enjoy my retro moment.

    NO FAIR, I’ve got no Zara nearby :/ These pieces are so beautiful, I love the soft knits.

      Awww, that’s too bad. Hopefully, you’ll get one near you someday.

    I’m a *sucker* for a skirt that twirls like that! Love it!!!

    I like that look of the sweater tucked in and the look of the skirt on the small of your waist. (Am I saying that right?) I have to check out Zara because I’ve seen so much great Zara stuff on different blogs.

      That sounds about right to me. And yes, you should definitely check out Zara, especially during the sale!

    Rut-ro, you’ve hit my soft spot! When Zara has sales they are usually great and I am LOVING that skirt on you. Lovely winter outfit.

    What a beautiful skirt!!!! Also loving the sweater – I never would have thought to pair the two together but the look is perfection!

      Thanks! I got this sweater a couple of weeks ago, and I wasn’t sure what to wear it with. I’m quite pleased with how this outfit came together.

    I’ve been trying to resist the store, at least until weeks end when I get paid. I’m sure it’ll all be picked over when I get there.

    Whoa I can’t believe that skirt is from Zara– it is so perfectly retro I thought it was vintage for sure! Love the pattern mixing with the sweater too!

    • ClosetConfections January 18, 2011 at 3:58 pm

      I couldn’t believe my luck either. Very retro indeed.

    Thanks. I’ve had these boots for years, and they are a favorite!

    Looooove this ensemble! I found a similar skirt @ Salvation Army for about 5 bucks.:) ive decided to try and pair it with a fitted rusted orange sweater,i heart orange and brown pairings btw…and i already have similar boots. Thx for the hot look and for helping me to think outside the box with my clothes!

    Orange and brown is a great color combo. I’m sure you’ll look smashing!
