Hello from New York City, where it has rained almost every day for the last two weeks. I'm officially tired of reaching for my rain jacket, so I’m instead choosing to focus on the vacation pictures that are filling up my Pinterest boards. Do I have any flights booked? No. But are my fictional vacation outfits (all of which hail from Zara) ready and planned out? Of course.
These outfits check all the necessary boxes. They’re affordably priced (nothing on this list costs more than $200), come in mostly neutral colors (plus a few trendy summer hues), and work both on vacation and in your real life. Plus, they all look incredibly luxe despite their price tag— which is why I turned to Zara to pull them together in the first place. The brand has long been my go-to for creating easy summer outfits comprised of pieces that hang around in my wardrobe for years after I purchase them.
