The €26 Zara dress you’ll buy now and wear for the rest of the year

Well, this is going straight in the shopping basket.

We are raving about Zara lately but considering how good the spring summer style is at the moment we just can't help it. There's the white embroidered top straight from our Instagram dreams and now we've found what has to be the perfect dress really. The Pleated Dress is €25.95 and it can be found in the New In section of the popular retailer's website. It's relatively simple but so versatile and can be dressed up or down, depending on what mood you're in or where you have to go on a given day. There's also the fact that the cinched-in waist and asymmetric hem make it look a lot more expensive than it actually is. We also adore the colour and red makes such a statement that the rest of your outfit will need little work. It's also very affordable for under €26 and when you think of all the times you'll wear it, you'll see that this is one buy that actually does make sense. We're thinking sock boots and a blazer for now and when the weather (eventually) gets warmer, it will be perfect with sandals for long summer evenings. Just another item to add to that ever-growing Zara basket so...
