there's no turning back

Zara has an on-line Canadian shop.

At first, I resisted. I placed items into my shopping bag, but never went through the checkout, content with just browsing. But, with each visit, I added the same items into my bag, over and over again, like some lovesick addict. Finally, I took the plunge and bought this top. After much deliberation, I decided to get both colours and return the one that I didn't like or wouldn't get the most wear. Big mistake. Now that I have both colours in my possession, I don't want to let either of them go.

Very informative sticker. I also really liked the packaging. The tops fit the box exactly, so there was no extra "filler"; no extra scrunched up tissue paper, styrofoam peanuts or bunched up packaging paper in the bottom, or in the corners. It was very compact which I really appreciate.

Reptile, snake-skin print embossed on leather-like material on the front and the rest is made out of this thick cotton material. The cut is perfect; it's like a long t-shirt and I love the gold collar. White is so awesome for the summer and you can't go wrong with classic black.
I checked the Zara site and they don't have these tops on-line anymore, but definitely see if you can find them in stores. But, be warned: Zara's on-line shop is bad news for my wallet. And for your's too!

Sidenote: I ended up returning the white because it seems to collect more fluff than the black and I'm happy with my choice.
