Pleated Zara Set: Toss or Keep?

I bought this pleated set to wear to a wedding and ended up going with something else. This still sits in my closet with the tags on — I feel horrible when that happens.

Dana says: "I say toss. I love the colour on you and I think you should buy something else in yellow. I always feel like investment purchases are sometimes even harder to get rid of, but if something is from a store like Zara and you didn't exactly splurge, I think it's OK to get rid of."

Hannah says: "I think this is a good lesson in experimenting, but it's also about knowing your body's proportions. I've done this countless times where I see something I love at Zara for $30 and it sits in my closet the same way with the tags on because at the end of the day I can't transform my body to work for that trend or the cut is just wrong. When you're working with trend pieces, ask yourself what it is that's really working for you. If it's the silhouette, maybe gravitate towards a different peplum style."

Laura says: "I see through your tricks, and I feel like the hem is so cute when you're lifting your arms up, but it doesn't actually fit you that way. In which case I say toss. The body is just too long for you."
