16 Things I Always Buy for Work From Zara

by Gabrielle Savoie

When you work in a particularly sartorially inclined office, it's easy to lure yourself into spending thousands of dollars on expensive shoes, cashmere sweaters, and designer bags that may or may not get you noticed by the upper echelons of the corporate ladder. But with a good eye and a little flair, you can make anything look polished, professional, and—most importantly—stylish, and you don't have to spend a ton.
