For the lack of a better word, I am a huge sucker for Zara (and I know many of you are, too!). Still, it wasn't until I walked out the door the other day that I realized the outfit I had on was literally head-to-toe from the store. Since I was basically a walking advertisement for their clothing anyway, I decided to submit the look to their website's PEOPLE! initiative and lo and behold,was chosen! I had initially felt a little bad about the lack of creativity, but I guess it paid off. ;)

Happy Monday!




Wearing: Zara everything (orange sweater & shoes are current), except for the MICHAEL Michael Kors bag

The sweater/cape looks so cozy, Jen! I wish there is a Zara store near where I live. I guess i can always order online =)

Haha, that has definitely happened to me before with other stores and then you only realize when you go to type it all out! Either way, you look LOVELY, and I am especially loving the gray cape with the orange sweater! Such a fantastic combination! Hope you had a lovely weekend! And congrats on the feature! xo!

PS: Also cute that you stalked my little video! ;) I look pretty awkward in it, but I totally know what you mean about videos making you feel like you've "met" someone! Haha, now we've both "met" each other, after your recent video as well! <3

I love the knot at the front of the jacket, it's definitely an eye-catcher (:

This post made me laugh, Jen- the same thing happens to me far more often than I should probably admit. Zara gets me every time! I love the look you put together, though, and you would never guess that all of the pieces came from one place. Congratulations on having the look chosen for the Zara People! section, it was a little thrill to see you on their site for sure :)

the cape is so perfect for fall!

There is nothing wrong with wearing a brand head to toe if you're as creative and fun with it as you are.

So many people who wear Zara, do it in such a way as to look like every other Swedish fashion blogger out there. This, however, is much more refreshing than predictable.

I think bravo for going for it, and I don't think you should berate yourself ever again. If you walked around in head to toe insignia MK, Gucci, LV or (perish the thought!) something like Juicy, then you will have a problem, and it'd be my hand upside your head--but thankfully you're a lot chicer and smarter than that, and we know you'd never ever have that issue.

You're fab. Don't overthink yourself. You have this down.

Now, can you please show me how it's done?

PS. if you ever get sick of your H&M skirt and that Ego Closet shirt in your last post, I'd be happy to take them off your hands for a reasonable price. I am deadly serious.

Congratulations love! This is such a beautiful look, it doesn't surprise me that it got chosen. I love how chic this look is, and it's perfect for fall. Hope you've been well, it's been way too long since our last meetup we should plan something soon!

That is incredible! You are a star!!!

LOVE this look! You always rock it!

I find myself wearing the same brand from head to toe, and there's never anything wrong with that. I would love to be a designer that people choose to pair different pieces of my collection together, it just proves you're doing something right.

Also I really want your cape!!!
