Worth the Wait

You know the saying, "Good thing come to those who wait"?  It's true, but sometimes it's just so hard to follow. As a rule I try to wait to purchase things on sale, unless I feel like it's something I absolutely can't live without. (I know, I know... clothing and accessories are not a matter a life or death, but you know what I mean!) However, it's always frustrating when you play the waiting game too long and then miss out on something you later regret.

For months I had a wish list of things that I wanted at Zara from their Spring collection. I really like Zara because you can buy some pretty high-end looking items, many which are made in Spain, and the retail prices are reasonable. Trying to be good, I figured I didn't need anything off my wishlist right away and if I waited a few months everything would go on sale. During Zara's first sale cut I  refrained from getting anything. During their second cut, pretty much everything I wanted was sold out online. C'est la vie!

Lucky for me I got a second chance on a recent trip to Zara last weekend. They had everything I wanted on my wish list in my size, including this blue and white floral top that I've been lusting after. When I was in the dressing room trying it on I thought I should buy some white pants to go with the top. I ventured next door to J. Crew and found a pair on sale for $14! My ensemble was officially complete. I guess good things really do come to those who wait!
