Anyone who attempted to walk through the doors of Zara and/or peruse their website over the last few weeks knows that shopping during its sale isn't for the faint-hearted. It's nearly impossible to verify whether an item is in stock online or in-store, the queues are ridiculous, and the search bar online seems to completely disengage — but despite it all, 50% off the already low prices we depend on at Zara compels us to tackle the sale. That is, until a new collection of affordable and on-trend pieces arrive, and we immediately drop every sale item in our cart and start fresh.
