Bell Sleeves

So I’m not gonna lie, I kinda forgot about Zara a little bit.  When I lived in NYC, I would pop into one probably once a week because they are EVERYWHERE! After moving back to Florida, I always forget that I’m lucky to have one at the mall close to me. (They are few and far in-between here.)

Anyway, I finally stopped by the other day and I want literally EVERYTHING!

No seriously, Zara just take all my money right now.

I had to quickly reel it in and talk myself out of spending all my money. Nevertheless, I did walk out with a few pieces I love including this dress.

Let me tell you this dress is not practical for work.

For starters, it wrinkles while you’re sitting at your desk all day. Big sleeves, plus open pens, drink cups; papers and typing don’t exactly mix. In addition, it has built in shorts so if you drink a lot of coffee, water, diet dr. pepper like I do during the day, and have to pee every 5 minutes it can be a real pain.

Now that I have given you a million (ok 3) reasons not to buy this dress, I’m going to tell you to forget about all that and buy it anyway. Because it’s cute and that’s really all that matters! Seriously, how can you live without this dress? I mean look at these sleeves! And the pinstripes…I’m dying! Sometimes (or all the time if you’re me) cute and fun, beats out practical and functional.
