Doesn’t this outfit bring you back to the days when big shoulders and flared jeans were a must in any girl’s wardrobe? This outfit is giving me total retro vibes. When you shop at Zara you are bound to find quite a few unique pieces that stand out. They are the experts in “fast fashion” for a reason.
I did not notice this in a Zara store. I found this puff sleeve windbreaker jacket at Winners. Yes, for the past few years, the Zara brand has stocked the racks of Marshalls and Winners and I have found quite a few great-priced items there.
I don’t know if it was the colour that caught my eye or the way the entire windbreaker spells extra! The tiny frill detail, high collar, cropped length and big puff sleeves make this jacket so unique. It is totally a “Toni” item.
Since the jacket is cropped, I wanted to style it like you would a shirt. I simply tucked it into my high-rise DKNY jeans and added an H&M lavender cropped tank and some lavender coloured Zara boots, which I also scored at Winners. I think the pointy toes and thin heels would come in handy if I needed to defend myself!
The high-rise DKNY jeans are another favourite. They are a light weight denim and super high, with button detail down the front and large flare legs. The lavender colour on the booties and knit top is soft enough to wear with this fuschia windbreaker instead of just pairing it with white. Overal I like the comfort and look of this outfit!

My other dog Kobe decided to sleep during the photoshoot and I didn’t have the heart to make him move. He is 16 and has some health issues, he is blind and I just recently shaved him all down due to an infection. Poor Kobe, he will always be my baby xo.
Swarovski Galactic Pendant Necklace
I made this necklace with the Swarovski Galactic Pendant. I wire wrapped the top and added a loop and some tiny pearl and swarovski beads in a cluster. I love the look of this, very unique. There is only one left in each of the colours so be sure to get one before they are sold out. Shop Swarovski Pendant Necklace Collection
