If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that whenever I’m anywhere near a Zara location, I’m going to walk into it and try on at least a dozen items. I’ve been this way forever—ever since Zara opened a store at my local mall in the Chicago suburbs—and will probably always be this way. Call it a guilty pleasure. So, when I walked by the Bryant Park store last night after work, I naturally had to pop inside and see what was new. And it’s a good thing I did, because in all my years of shopping at Zara, only on a handful of occasions have my try ons been this successful.
Within minutes of stepping inside the store’s revolving doors, I had at least three items in my hand, all of which happened to be dresses. One loop around the main floor later, four more had been added to the pile. By the time I made it downstairs to the dressing rooms, I had accumulated more summer dresses than the amount of items allowed to come in at one time. Suddenly, it’d been two hours and I’d tried on at least 15 dresses, six of which rendered me speechless. Scroll down to see which Zara dresses received a 5-star review during my latest in-store visit.
