So its the hottest weekend of the year and I buy a winter coat

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Because I like to plan ahead. And its navy and studded - what's not to like

Zara had some lovely looking stuff in - just wish they'd clear the sales dregs away now - surely if that vile yellow dress hasn't sold in the last 8 months its not going to sell now even with 50% off?

Oooo that's gorgeous!

Does it have a zip/buttons? (practical hat on)

That is a lovely coat. It is a good time to buy it as they are all in stock at the moment. I am planning a trip to Zara next week as I have seen lots of lovely things online but not in the flesh yet.

Oh its really lovely - really nice material and a very neat fit on the shoulders. No buttons as such but you know it looks nice And I have barbour parka for practicality.

Dexter - there was a lot of stuff that looked lovely but was in a hurry so just grabbed coat and ran.

No buttons? You clearly don't live in the North West!

South West littlepanda - we is well 'ard down here

I might hit the shops on Tuesday. My dh has been off work for the last 2 weeks so not too many shopping opportunities. Also have a few shopping brownie points as he has just spent £££ on a new racing bike (I am a cycling widow at the weekends!).

Oh God Dexter so am I and now the Spanish tour has started so there goes every evening

We have just watched tonights highlights and he has booked us hospitality tickets for the final stage of the Tour of Britain!! Woopee!

I am so not telling my DH that. Every year he wants us to go and watch the tdf and every year I watch it on tv and say 'but it seems to rain all the time'

Hello to dexter and mrscambellblack my fellow widows, dh is watching the vuelta and actually going to the tour of Denmark on Friday - nutter!

Beautiful coat btw

Oh MrsSnow - DH did lamarmotte this year as a corporate hospitality thing so you know - its like he's one of them now

I love that coat too, am trying to justify it but I have a very similar shaped navy one so can't really.

I like this cobalt one, and have no blue coat so might be able to persuade myself!

OP that is a stunning coat!

I have the other one and am praying for low temps That is lovely

Oh the cobalt one is lovely too. I do think Zara do really good coats and fairly reasonable prices.

I love this one too, you can't beat a navy coat with gold buttons.

i have this

Like the coat,spotted it online a few days ago.Not usually a fan of Zara,I would like to be but never seem to find instore/online what I am looking for.Online delivery slow too imo.
May go looking again though

Fabulous coat! Such a shame I look like a corpse in navy
I remember Trinny Woodall remarking in one of the vileT+S books that Zara jackets and coats are as well cut/made as top designer ones. Only ever had one Zara coat but it was the most beautiful, flattering black skirted-trench (singlebreasted too, which isn't easy to find). Some bitch nicked it after I'd had it a fortnight and I've missed it ever since

What a bitch Madmomma! I've got a navy coat from there from last winter [anyone spot a theme] and it got so many compliments.

Noddy - I saw that one and thought of you.

Must confess I have shamelessly copied 2 friends who already have the studded coat - good job they don't live near me or that would be embarassing.

Studded is lovely but I bought ash studded boots last year and don't want to look like a sad old rocker

I love Zara. It is the only shop I can guarantee to find something to buy.

Love that noddy I have this , this and this I LOVE Zara

Oh lovely Unhappy.

I bought an ivory spring coat earlier this year and god I love it - again many compliments and people thinking it cost £££ when it was about £70.
