Eiffel for Zara

Let's get into this look!! Isn't it just adorable and brilliant?! When I thoroughly picked out all my fits for Paris, this one was my favorite!! I was so indecisive about what to wear to the Eiffel Tower. I knew that I wanted to wear a beret of course, because who goes to Paris and not pack a beret? Pictured is a fun, fashionable, and flirty day look. Okay, let's start from the beret!! This black wool material beret is from Amazon! The brand is Jeff & Aimy, only $13.99!!!! The quality is amazing. The best part was the adjustable string in the back. Yessss!!! I was so worried about the hat being too tight and causing a dent in my weave lol. Next, we have this black "Trust the flow" cotton tee-shirt blouse (size medium) with mesh floral sleeves aaaaaahhhhhh!!! I love love love this shirt! I found it for a whopping $20.00 on the clearance rack at Zara! Zara is one of my favorite stores.

When I found this top I automatically knew it was coming to Paris with me. I continued to search on the clearance rack for bottoms. I knew I wanted to wear a skirt or something high waist, because the shirt was kind of short. I wanted to tuck the shirt into my bottoms, that was my vision. Sidebar: I have a long torso, and I usually purchase tops that are longer. I even thought about pairing this top with mom jeans, but then reality kicked in. I can NEVER find mom jeans to fit me properly.....UGH!!! If ya'll know where a curvy sis like me can find the perfect fitting mom jeans let me know!!

Anyway, I'm still on that clearance rack.....BOOM!! There it was a faux leather pink mini skirt with a removable belt in my size, medium. I looked at the price tag, and I almost fainted. It was $20.00! Now, I thought to myself this is my lucky day!! This skirt matches perfectly with my top. I headed to the fitting room and it fit perfectly! I felt like I hit the jackpot. Let me share a tip with you ladies... when shopping for sale/clearance items PLEASE try on the items even if you don't feel like it. Most sale/clearance items cannot be returned. I paid for my 2 items which totaled $40.00 and went home to put this look together!! Yes, I try on all my fits prior to wearing them with every piece and detail (including accessories) when I have a vision, especially for a vacay. 

I searched for the perfect shoe in my closet to pair with this fit. I grabbed my Aldo black patent leather ankle boots. These boots are from Aldo, but I purchased them from DSW in Fall 2018. DSW has all the bomb brands OKAAAAAAY. I paid $59.99 for them. These black 40 denier stockings are from Primark, one of my favorite stores! It came in a pack of 5 for only $4.00. The stockings are thick and great quality. You can literally find anything at Primark for dirt cheap. This entire look costs me $114.00.

The inspiration for this look was from Pinterest. I LOVE PINTEREST for just about any and every thing (from DIY projects to recipes). I didn't see this exact look on Pinterest, but I saw many different looks with ankle boots, stockings, and berets when I searched "Paris Style." I decided my look would consist of stockings and a beret for sure. Uniquely, I came up with the rest of this look myself. Please comment below and let me know what you think besties!!
