The best of the Zara sale

When it comes to the Zara sale you have to act fast. The girls at work mentioned its impending arrival the night before, and wanted to go there the next day at 1 ish. But experience has taught me that you can't wait that long. People burst into stores first thing in the morning and all the good stuff goes within hours. So if you have something in mind that you want to catch in the sales, you need to get in there early. Fortunately I had a spare few minutes whilst eating breakfast the morning of the launch so managed to pick up some gems online. Here are my top picks from this time around...

Cropped white cami £17.99 £12.99

Blue striped skirt £25.99 £17.99

Blue shift dress £39.99 £29.99

Nude lace dress £39.99 £29.99

White lace dress £69.99 £49.99

White star cut out dress £59.99 £39.99

Tie die sweatshirt £25.99 £15.99

As always, the money off in the Zara sale isn't that great. £10 off? Gee thanks Zara for your being oh so generous. But seeing as Zara notoriously doesn't offer promo codes, this probably accounts for why people get so excited about the Zara sale in particular. Money off is money off, right? And a few pounds off here and there may not sound like much, but when you add everything you saved on your shop, it really does add up. I calculated that I saved £83 off my shop compared to if I'd paid it full price - every little helps!
