I went to the Zara sales and bought some things from the NEW collection … ;)
The thing is sales are pretty chosen and the new collection has very cool pieces!
I also bought a few things from the sales: a playsuit and two normal leggings, in gray and black.
Below are the pictures of the pieces and also my look for today. The bedroom looks a bit different because we moved to another house, now we’re in Lisbon again, yes :)!
ZARA NEW COLLECTION
Sweaters
These two sweaters are basic and a great buy because they’re beautiful, very warm and comfortable. They’re not too long so they don’t make you look shorter and look great with flats shoes.
Shirt + skinnys
I loved these skinnys because they have a lot of elasticity and look good without taking away comfort. They also have two rips at the knees that are right at the knee – at least for me. Some pants have the rip below the knee area and it doesn’t work at all ;)
The shirt is loose and comfortable in a fabric that looks good and has a neutral color that goes well with everything.
And here’s my look with some pieces:
The boots are from Catarina Martins.

Playsuit
This is not a basic, of course, but we also need to have to have some different pieces. For me this playsuit was love at first sight ;) Later I’ll do a look with it.
In the comments below tell me: Do you like these pieces? Do you need some of these basics?
Kisses,

I like the sweater and jean look but how can it be given a more feminine look?
Thanks Kristina :) You can add a necklace or wear pumps or ballet flats instead of ankle boots! Here’s a post that can help: https:/www.lenapenteado.com/2013/01/how-to-dress-feminine-feminine-style/ xoxoxo
Hi Lena,
I like your look! Lovely! Nice finds in the Zara sale. I bought some pieces from their sale too. Funny how Zara has different items for Americans than for Europeans–your sweaters and playsuit don’t appear on the U.S. site. I hope your move went well and that you’re enjoying your new house in Lisbon. All best :-))

Thanks so much Josie :) I’m going to check out the US site then, to find some different suggestions ;) I’m loving the new house, it’s much closer to my kids school ;) Lots of love, Lena
