What should I buy in Zara? Their models are NOT the same shape as me!

Help! I've never shopped in Zara but got a £40 voucher as a present - yay!

However I am a bit concerned none of their stuff will fit me! I am tall and slim-ish (still a size 10, just!) but I have DD boobs and none of their models have any boobs at all! Also I have a very very long body but normal length legs. So all their waisted dresses or short dresses will look stupid on me. I am pale though, which their models also seem to be. But I am not quite as grumpy-looking.

Was hoping to get something pretty that I wouldn't normally justify getting myself. Any suggestions? I am NOT GOOD at shopping.

Tall and slimish is actually quite good in Zara although I agree on waisted dresses, they never fit me either.

Jeans are good there - good quality and fit well. Or if you want to avoid the hassle of general clothes stuff, they have nice shoes and accessories. You could splash out on jewellery or a big soft scarf - something you might not normally spend £40 on.

They have some lovely 'rock chick' leather jackets, which might appeal. Enjoy!

I always find Zara clothes fit me quite well! Maybe I just have a weird body shape but yeah I like their jeans and bags. Their jackets are beautiful too.

I'm also quite tall and a size 10 btw!

OK, there's also the fact that I don't think I'm quite cool enough for Zara!
