I'm acting as a stylist for my friend who recently relocated to New York—here are 24 items we picked up from Zara.
When one of my friends mentioned she was relocating from the Midwest to New York, my immediate thought was, "What are you taking along?" One thing about this city is that it will quickly highlight any deficiencies in your wardrobe. You need outfits that can endure a long day out, unpredictable weather, and those unexpected formal events you can't afford to skip. Naturally, I decided to step in as her stylist. I wanted her to have a wide variety of choices, so I went directly to Zara since New Yorkers in their 20s often curate their entire wardrobe from this store. Think chic dresses, elevated tops, and those "Wait, this is from Zara?" pieces that catch people’s attention on the street. Here are the items we picked, and to be honest, I wanted them all for myself.
