Have you checked out the Spanish fashion store Zara yet? What do you think of the clothes and prices?

These black shorts with embellished waistband are from Zara. Actually I found them in an op shop in brand new condition for under $5 last year. Super bargain!

I’ve been wanting to peruse the Zara store ever since it opened in Bourke St and more recently, Chadstone Shopping Centre and I still haven’t got around to it! The brand, which has undergone a massive world-wide expansion, has cemented a reputation for having high-quality, on trend clothing at affordable prices.

Shorts - in particular shorts and matching blazers - are having a huge fashion moment. It’s more than acceptable to wear them to a Christmas party, dolled up with killer heels and statement jewellery or dress them down with sandals and an up-do hairstyle.

I’ve paired my Zara shorts with a satin top, with black lace trim, which I also discovered in the op shop for under $5. Bargains galore!
