Leather Biker Jacket in Zara!

I went to Oxford Street to buy buy school cardis with dd, and popped into Zara on the way and there it was, looking at me. Tried it on, did the ' I think I am too old' thing with dd, who dragged me to the checkout with it, and I Love it! I have always wanted one, but could never justify it - they used to be a lot more expensive - but, am I too old to pull it off? 46?

I am older than you and still hanker after a leather jacket. Can you do a link?

Mad Bad - Am trying to find it online, but can't, - it is in the Zara basics range and only £99.00, but looks much more expensive. And thanks Mad Bad and Serin - yes we can still do it!

The Zara website is impenetrable to all except those who can hack into Pentagon computers...

GentleOtter · 04/09/2009 09:03

I would look like Meatloaf in it.

MadBadOnlyReadsTheBroadsheets · 04/09/2009 11:02

It is lovely but I too worry about Meatloaf (and norkage) issues.

Oops, sorry didn't reply earlier! Yup, that's the one, and ooh, I'm 'on trend'! It really is lovely, reallty wanted to wear it today, but don't think it would go down too well at work, and 2) it's a bit too warm here, really. Oh well, will just have to dance around in it at home later.

Yes, Nappy it did feel warm. Go for it!

I have seen it its lovely.They have a navy one I'd love and amm 44 soon and wouldn't think twice tbh.Enjoy!

lou33 · 04/09/2009 12:06

it baffles me why there are age limits self imposed on fashion

as long as what you wear suits you, and you feel good in it, then that is all that matters surely?

noddyholder · 04/09/2009 12:20

Well said lou.I have green mc hammer trousers on today with a fitted t shirt and ballet pumps!Mutton tastic

SausageRocket · 04/09/2009 12:24

oh god, mc hammer trousers should be consigned to fashion landfill. No matter whether you are 16 or 66.

I like the jacket though OP. PMSL @ 'meatloaf' references

noddyholder · 04/09/2009 12:28

Oh no these are lush tailored green silk I will be wearing when I'm 70!

noddyholder · 04/09/2009 12:31

chicisimo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/black_harem_pants.jpgI love them so comfy

SausageRocket · 04/09/2009 12:34

those look better than the terrible polycotton ones that are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too baggy in the crotch as sold by Primark et al. However, I'm still not convinced...

That said, I am hardly a style maven today in a watermelon coloured vest top and dark skinnyflare jeans. Am supposed to be cleaning today so not exactly chic

Jewelsandgems · 04/09/2009 14:10
