Had a lovely child free hour today and went shopping, a rare event to go alone. Almost walked past Zara but a lovely jacket caught my eye and somehow almost an hour later came out with 6 new things!!
On iPad so cannot link until later but I got:
Cream blazer with bobbly bits on
Cream silk shirt
navy lace dress with black underlay
Stripy jumper
Long sleeved linen T shirts 2
And a pair of shoes.

Will post links later if anyone interested but I was really shocked at how much I liked a lot of stuff in there, I went in July and wasn,t so keen.
hoping it won,t all fall apart after first wear and that my dh is understanding when he discovers my spree!

Well done!
I find that Zara is often like that, one time I cant find anything, the next I'd buy the whole shop!

LesleyPumpshaft · 13/09/2012 17:44

I'm jealous, my nearest Zara is miles away and a faff to get to. Envy

Ordering off the website is not the same.

justasecond · 13/09/2012 18:40

I love Zara atm too. I went yesterday and could easily have bought several things. Would love to see your links.

dexter73 · 13/09/2012 18:42

That is exactly why I try not to go into Zara too often! Can't be doing with ordering online as their sizing is so random.

TiggerWearsATriteSmile · 13/09/2012 18:59

I too bought a blazer,
Cream silk shirt,
2 linen tees,
A knitted jumper,
Another casual jacket,
Jeans,
A striped tee,
A crochet/knitted type top.

I'm going back for more jeans, love the fit!

I too bought nothing in there all summer. I could've bought more the other day but DD was with me and getting understandably bored.

Ooh, and a cardigan.

lurkingaround · 13/09/2012 19:00

Oh yes, link please!!

Had a quick runaround at lunchtime today, thought they had lots of lovely things. Didn't get to try on anything. Ordering off their website is a complete lottery, their sizes are so random. Tho the last thing I bought from the website was great

lurkingaround · 13/09/2012 19:01

Like going into a sweetshop, going into Zara. Just need the pocket money to match.

TiggerWearsATriteSmile · 13/09/2012 19:05

I just had a quick look at the site there, can't find a thing I bought!

(did see some more things I'd like though.....)

germyrabbit · 13/09/2012 19:07

i am addicted to their jeans and have about 12 pairs, just got the black ones with the gold bit down the side, very michael jackson Grin

WAD · 13/09/2012 20:22

Smile sounds like a good day. I always manage to come out of Zara with at least 3 more things than I intended buying.

regnamechange · 13/09/2012 20:23

Love Zara!! Envy

regnamechange · 13/09/2012 20:24

I also like the sound of your list!Grin

ruby22 · 13/09/2012 20:59

ok here goes:
cream blazer with bobbly bits, very flattering. Also liked this but not as nice and this but didn't sit well on my pear hips.

a cream silk shirt, too many to find online but it's there somewhere.
lovely navy dress the bumpiness of the lace smooths out all bumpy bits underneath. Plus I love the black under the navy. Same dress in black was nice but this was better.

these in cream and beige

a stripy jumper not found online

shoes not so sure now have got them home.

Also more items now on my wish list having just browsed the website, back in a bit!

Oooh

ruby22 · 13/09/2012 21:25

I know. I don't get out on my own much do I?! Grin
and that's the thing, as well as being under the influence of PMT it would help to know if I've made any glaring mistakes before parading around in this stuff!

Oh great haul!!

And I LOVE the shoes. I would love them for myself, if it were not for my short legs. Love them.

How long is the lace dress?

justasecond · 13/09/2012 21:56

Ruby22 you have great taste. I really like all those things and I think you made the right choice re the jacket.
I really like these
wrap coat not the sort of coat I would usually go for but for some reason I am really drawn to it.
bit cos-esq.
v nice too

miomio · 13/09/2012 21:57

Just watch the linen tshirts - i bought the short sleeved versions in the summer and they havent washed at all well. One has doubled in width and shortened in length - worn 2 or 3 times and unwearable now. Am tempted to take ir in for refund but too embarassed!

trixymalixy · 13/09/2012 22:10

I've just ordered those shoes. I'm not great at heels though, so they might go back.

ruby22 · 14/09/2012 13:44

lurkingarond the dress is much longer than me than on the model, am 5'4 and is just above/on the knee if that helps.

trixy the shoes are lovely but the back of the heel is really high and they just kept catching as I walked.

Miomio I know I hate returning items to Zara, they are just so snitty!

I love Zara - rarely go in, but never seem to leave without a few things.
My trip to go food shopping in Bolton ended up with this and this in blue
I love your white blazer!

ruby22 · 14/09/2012 20:34

this is number 1 on my wishlist for autumn, really love the colour.
