It looks so cozy. But...you mention that it is itchy on your scar when you tried it. I think that will get worse throughout a day of wear rather than better. Grain of salt of course because I am very sensitive to wool, mohair etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331272 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 01:44:42 +0000 Tanya 1331272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia!&nbsp; I know that about Zara, but I am going to risk it.&nbsp; I am really trying not to buy anything this month.&nbsp; I have already failed by getting a handbag that was exactly what I wanted for a ridiculously low price; so am trying to redeem myself and firmly decided not go get anything else no matter how cool it is :)&nbsp; I guess I will see in September if/what was meant to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331260 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 01:35:34 +0000 Jaime 1331260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The problem is Zara's stock changes all the time. By September these things may be gone. Or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331259 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 01:31:46 +0000 Tanya 1331259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your feedback, much appreciated!&nbsp; I have edited the original post with the finds.</p> <p>The bomber:&nbsp; I like it but I don't love it.&nbsp; The sleeves are too long, and this size, S, is the smallest one it comes in, so no sizing down.&nbsp; I think I like the idea of a fall bomber more than anything else, so I will pass for sure.</p> <p>The blush coat:&nbsp; the coat itself is beautiful and I loved it on Viva.&nbsp; Here I tried it&nbsp; in S and did not like it on me at all.&nbsp; It also comes in XS, but it was not available in the store.&nbsp; The S is a definite no, but I will might like XS after all.</p> <p>The grey sweater: this is my favorite piece I tried today, and I love it!&nbsp; It is thick, and fairly soft.&nbsp; I know the itchiness of knits is pretty individual.&nbsp; on me, it is not itchy, other than on my neck where my scar, being much more sensitive,&nbsp; is bothered.&nbsp; However, the sleeve length is giving me a pause.&nbsp; The sweater only comes in one size, M.&nbsp; On the model the sleeves look a tad short.&nbsp; The sweater is a bit pricey for Zara so I am going to keep thinking about it, that is the sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331200 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:50:38 +0000 Suz 1331200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really love #3. Gorgeous! I wonder if it could replace my itchy Gap grey chunky knit. Is it soft?? Gorgeous on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the houndstooth jacket, too, but I hate overlong sleeves even when they are part of a "look" so that will be a problem for me, personally. The coat is gorgeous too but the fit seems a bit off. It might just be the photo angle, though. Viva also tried it today.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331197 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:48:32 +0000 Amy 1331197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is cute and seems to fit well. I'd size down on #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331194 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:48:08 +0000 Angie 1331194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is the winner here. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331160 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:25:15 +0000 nancywalters 1331160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 and 3.&nbsp; 2 reminds me of a doctor's smock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331156 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:22:37 +0000 Diana 1331156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, so unsurprisingly I like the long sleeves on #1 and think the sleeves on #3 are too short. I love #1 overall. The blush coat is giving me a wee bit of a bathrobe vibe with the shape and texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331145 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:12:09 +0000 Alana in Canada 1331145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the knit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331138 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:08:04 +0000 Aida 1331138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the extra long sleeves for the bomber in #1 is part of "the look". Totally adore it! The blush coat gives me pause but I can't put my finger on why. And the big round sleeve structure of the chunky sweater looks super fun, how is the knit? Is it itchy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331137 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:07:57 +0000 Janet 1331137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg I love the houndstooth bomber and will be checking that out when Austerity August is over. The sleeves do look a little long, but can you scrunch? It's not zipped, so it's hard to tell if a size down would work. </p> <p>I like the coat - again it seems a little long in the arms, but that's the style too. Is that the same one Viva tried on?</p> <p>And I love that sweater for you! it looks so cozy. Strange question considering I just talked about the other sleeves being long, but are these sleeves a little short on you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331136 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:07:07 +0000 Tanya 1331136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Columbine! I am not in the store anymore and this is the smallest possible size, so I am afraid I would be stuck with such sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331130 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:02:42 +0000 columbine(erin) 1331130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering if the sleeves are a bit long in the first picture. Otherwise it doesn't seem too big but maybe it's worth checking another size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-stuff-at-zara---part-1#post-1331119 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 23:55:41 +0000 Tanya 1331119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found myself next to a Zara and decided to do some research on their Fall collection. I am not buying anything at this moment, just trying to see what is worth putting on Fall shopping list. I will keep my opinions to myself so that I do not bias you. Also feel free to comment if you think I might need a different size. </p> <p>Here for consideration are three items:<br /> 1. Little grey houndstooth bomber jacket<br /> 2. Very pale blush boucle coat<br /> 3. Super chunky grey turtleneck </p>
