ZARA Inspired

     I don't know if you know but I'm sure you do: ZARA is having its Mid-Year Sale in all of its branches *Shopaholic squeal of delight*!!! 

     According to my sister, sales usually have 1st, 2nd and 3rd waves wherein with each wave, prices drop more. So a tip to all shopaholics: don't fall for or buy during the 1st time they hang that big SALE sign that says 50% off because I assure you, it'll drop more and more up to 70% off. Learn to be patient. If you're meant to have that dress, shoes or accessories, you will keep on seeing it and be able to buy it at its possible lowest price - in your size! Trust me, I've tried and tested that fashion philosophy. But if you have no limited budget, unlike me, then go right ahead and buy it! ;) 

     Anyway, I've always wanted this certain ZARA dress and well, let's just say that even if it has dropped its price to almost 70%, I still can't quite afford it. Well, I can... but then I'd have to not eat at school for an entire week. As you know, we went to the Super Sale Bazaar last Friday and I saw the dress there: for only Php780. But I still thought it was kinda pricey. Considering the fact that the fabric's sheer. I felt like it wasn't worth it. So, I left the bazaar without the dress in my shopping bag. 

     Following day, Saturday, my sisters and I went to Divisoria. If you're a Filipino, you'd know that it's THE place to find almost everything...at its lowest possible store value. A thousand pesos can go a looooong way there. So, no surprise here: I found the ZARA dress I want for only Php500!!! Yaaay! It's quite pricey for something sold in Divi but I figured it's probably the cheapest of its kind I can ever find. Might as well buy it. Buy it, I did. 

The ZARA dress

My version of the dress (different print but same style)

     Tada! You like it? I do! I wore it to church on Sunday (even if the front part was a tad too short). Also, I had to wear a shrug or cover-up over it so as to look a modest. I tried.

     Before I bombard you with more photos of myself (my sister took them, thanks! you're slowly learning. hahaha), I'd like to impart this quote which I find very relevant to my post. 

     Have a lovely day, everyone! ♥
