After salivating over the winter coats from VS (read here), I decided that it is too much of a hassle to order online and go through the international shipping. I need to feel the material, try on the fit and I don’t think I can assume that what looks good on a super model will look good on ME!
Was supposed to go for my lesson the other day, but because of a blunder I made, I ended up shopping.
I tried on 3 coats from Zara. None of them long enough to warm my thighs, but I think I am going to pamper myself with one of these.
I almost bought the 2nd one but it was the last piece and the button came loose. So while the coat is ‘under repair’ now, I have time to reconsider before I collect it next week.
Out of the 3, it is the only one that comes in XS and fit me perfectly. I also love how the collar can be folded and puffed up which may come in handy in keeping the neck warm. As for the colour, I think I am a convert. I have never wear so much BLACK and somber colours in my life before coming to Paris!
Will think about getting a long one later if this proof to be just fashionable and not functionable.
But serioulsy, do they look like PJs or bathrobes ?!
PJs or bathrobes?!!!!
nah! you in that reminds me of Grease! *wink*
I don’t think they look like bathrobes at all. I do like the 1st & 2nd ones on you the most!!
OH, and yes, I still homeschool my children!! It’s such a blessing!
the second is my fav too! but hey, you look good in all
HOT MUMMEEE you !!!
I like the one on the left. Plain, solid dark grey easier to match…but that is boring me!
All nice…but if I’m not wrong, you would tend to buy brown-based stuff. Surprise you are not getting the 3rd one instead.
Think you should look around before buying from Zara. It’s good to have something slightly longer, like hip level. We don’t usually invest in such coats too often. So, good to have the in-between of a short coat and a trench coat.
I hate you…mum in XS!!! *sob*
Rachel : Hey I don’t mind trading your long legs for my XS! how unadventurous hor, come all the way ere and shop at ZARA! haiz! BUT I M DESPERATE!!!
you make me envy to be able to wear XS
i find the 1st one very nice..one coat fit all type.
Mmm … I like the second one but you do look nice in all of them. Honest!
if i were you, i will buy all of them if i’ve the budget! hahaha, i’m that crazy!!!
if i really like something and honestly if i cna;t make up my mind, i tend to buy all!!! hahaha, crazy me!
i thk you do look great in all those 3!
I think the left and the middle ones look nice. The one of the right, because of its print, look like PJ. But you are slim, you’ll look sexy in anything!! Love those boots too!
I was thinking, “Who’s that super model ah?” Oh… Hai Fang trying out a coat. Aisay… cool!
Did you try the Small? What happened? All my XS stuff are now too small for me and I’ve graduated to Small for everything – coats, T-shirts, sweaters, everything. How come you shrank??
Anyway, I bought ANOTHER Zara jacket the other day. It’s a trendier one (I think), and black. I almost got another one which was checkered red with a huge fake fur collar – but it was not a very warm jacket and temperatures aren’t getting warmer around here in Madrid. (Did I tell u that’s where I am now?)
It’s sooo cold these few days!
