I hardly ever go into Zara and the times I have, I have always walked out empty handed. I find their sizing to run large and inconsistent. I tried on a few things just for fun and was shocked to how small this dress ran! I tried the XS in the pink/peach and a small in the mint green. The XS was so tight and short (see here), I could hardly breathe. The small fits nicely but it’s form fitting. I love that it’s a tweed like material and is lined. I can’t believe it was on sale for only $29.99!  I really wanted the pink but there were no small’s left. Luckily I decided to see if it was available online and low and behold it was (size small is still available online)! I ordered so I can figure out which color I will keep. Plus the mint one isn’t in perfect condition, there are a few snags which bother me.

This is a very sexy dress so I like to add a blazer to use as cover up plus I usually run really cold (especially at night). This is an outfit I would wear on date night or out to dinner with friends. I wish it wasn’t strapless but this one doesn’t seem to fall like my other navy/pink peplum dress from Lulus.com.

Shopping on Zara.com has always been frustrating for me.  Unless you pay full price for a new arrival, chances are small sizes will be sold out.  I have always liked Zara shoes but have never seen a size 5 in any style. I was elated to find these neon yellow sandals available in my size. I quickly placed the order. I am curious to see how the fit and will keep you posted.

Speaking of Zara, I will be selling my mint blazer in XS HERE if anyone is interested. Please email me if you have questions.

Here is what I ate on Saturday night while dining alfresco with hubby. Dining outdoors is one of our favorite things to do.  We usually don’t eat out often but are making it a point to try new restaurants in Los Angeles.  I hope everyone had a great weekend 🙂

  1. Sandals were a bit unexpected to me with this dress. At best, a foxy pair of peep-toe slingback pumps was probably what I would pair this dress with. I love the dress! Also, the touches of blue (cobalt and navy blue) are lovely to compliment this dress. Immense style shown by you here. Another alluring outfit, Annie. Well done.

  3. Hey Annie! Lovely pictures. It makes me think I SHOULD invest in a professional camera and kick my iPhone to the curb. ha. Anyway if you’re selling your mint blazer does that mean you’re getting the one I recommended/reviewed? hehe Let me know… so curious now. Also, are you going to keep the pink version once you receive it in the mail? xoxo, Jess (and now you know my full name… lol… attached it to my wrong account instead of my handle.)

  12. The piece looks good, just not on you. It's too tight. It's much better with the blazer since the physical constraint of the dress is less obvious.

  13. I have this dress in pink. Every time I went in Zara, I looked at it and eventualy had to make a purchace! I teamed mine with a pair or nude/coral courts and matching clutch bag! I love it in mint too! But I really didnt have a problem with the small fit. I got an XS and it was perfect! Its my favourite outfit, i’m wearing it for a friends Party this weekend! You look amazing in this dress!

  21. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely should i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail about the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is an element that insufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I am delighted we came across this during my look for something with this.
