I bought this Zara embroidered jacket as an impulse buy in Dubai last week in the hopes of pulling off an impromptu photo shoot at the hotel we stayed at. I broke my promise not to do any blog work during our weekend stay, but I blame Park Hyatt’s Santorini-style architecture, and white and blue tile work. It automatically had me thinking ‘hippie chic’. The shoot didn’t happen though because I was mourning the loss of Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and utterly cranky to have woken up at 5:00 am to watch the lackluster ‘fight of the century’.
What I hadn’t realized is that this very jacket has quickly become the cult purchase thanks to Man Repeller calling it the ‘best shirt Zara has made ever in the history of shirts’. Next thing I know, The Blonde Salad is wearing it too this weekend in Barcelona.
What is the moral of this story? No, it’s not about watching an early morning fight on a hangover but sometimes, just sometimes ladies… our impulse purchase can turn out to be our best fashion purchase of our lifetime.
