Well obviously my leopard wedges have been a massive hit!

Also bought this which is very nice tucked into slightly faded jeans or my houlihans that barely leave my body.

noddyholder · 14/04/2011 19:18

cybbo · 14/04/2011 19:18

Yes I like that blouse

I bought a big red scarf from there at Christmas that fits round my big fat neck

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/04/2011 19:33

Oh I am so fat but have just moved house which has been a tad stressful and unfortunately I just eat and eat to combat the stress!

Am loving red at the moment

moragbellingham · 14/04/2011 19:37

I'm a "L" in Zara and have also discovered that my feet are fat and I have to size up!!
(I'm an Anthropologie size 8 - and yes, I did obviously buy that)

Mrs CB - Ah, I did wonder who you wereWink.

Five pairs of cumbersome shoes I did order into store last week (of varying sizes) and all went back.
I find some absolute gems in Zara but more than enough are corkers. The ones I do find though, last for years as they are usually not remotely in fashionne.

Was in there today.I love their stuff but sadly it does not love me! only looks good on tall,thin people imo. Was tempted by some blue chinos that seemed to have an elasticated waistband but didnt try them on as also had kids with me(damn school hols!). But I do love their shoes and handbags.

ClancyCrew · 15/04/2011 09:06

O saw the blue chinos

OP posts:
ClancyCrew · 15/04/2011 09:07

I think you have to utterk ignore the kerazy sizing. Just buy to fit

OP posts:
DuplicitousBitch · 15/04/2011 09:08

yes i would prefer to wear zara enorme than m&s 10

noddyholder · 15/04/2011 09:33

I have the pinky coral chinos and they are so summery and flattering and I am only a small size in those but L in other stuff.Agree you have to just go for fit even if XL. I couldn't do up an XL denim jacket in there but on the same day bought a dress in small

florenceuk · 15/04/2011 09:47

I seem to have bought loads this season. Two Bretons in organic cotton - they have washed fine. Bought pair of chinos in tan but they stretched so size down. Red velveteen/moleskin coat, which kids tutted about but feels very on trend with blue jeans. One red silk/jersey tee (not to wear with coat) and a pair of ankle skimming black stretchy trousers. I think that's it!
