"The stuff is cute, but I can always get it cheaper or splurge for the real thing. I like their stuff, but something makes me not buy it. I hate expensive cheap clothes. Either be cheap or expensive."
Those are my sentiments exactly. While their clothes are undeniably nice, I think they're reaching on the price. The "Zara Woman" line on the first floor is outrageously priced. I wasn't sure what kind of store I was in because though the quality was there, a designer name wasn't in sight. Umm... lower your prices, Zara... Your stuff is cute, but not THAT cute... and H&M is right down the street.
The 2nd floor featured that TRF line along with more ladies clothing. I liked the selection they had but wasn't compelled to buy anything. The prices are just not right. I think it's the place for higher end shoppers to get "steals" because I certainly wasn't feeling moved in there. If you're used to paying designer prices and turn your nose up to H&M, Zara is the perfect place for you. I must say that I did love some of their jackets. If they have a sale I may have to make an appearance, otherwise Zara will be off limits for me. I have no use in going in that store...
On another note, after leaving Zara I hopped the bus for a quick stop @ Sally's Beauty Supply. I love having a discount card and picking up fun stuff to make my heart smile. I got some new nail polish (expect some nail art coming soon) along with various sized perm rods so I can play around with the CurlyNikki Twist-n-Curl!!! Zara was a bust but I found a way to make it worthwhile...
