Sounds great.  Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "Zara Finds that I thought were exceptional." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-finds-that-i-thought-were-exceptional#post-2338180 Sun, 10 Sep 2023 14:20:57 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2338180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Carol, I'm pretty curvy, and I have a high hip.   I found that the pants had a high enough waist to accommodate this, although I'd have taken the waistband in a little.  The fit felt very 70s glam, similar to the slacks you'd see Loni Anderson wearing on "WKRP in Cincinnatti", or "Charlie's Angels" but a little more forgiving in the behind.   If that makes any sense.   I tried to find fashion photos for reference, with no luck.

One of my favorite "t-shirt/mug" phrases I've seen lately is "Mermaid Hair, Don't Care." Meaning I didn't do my long hair today--take it or leave it. I love that. These are gorgeous pieces--I still struggle to understand the new fit of those silver pants--that structure seems to be everywhere.  The models look waif and I wonder how they'd fit a more curvy body. The gold mesh top looks fun, and I could see it over a burgundy slip dress.  Bijou on "Zara Finds that I thought were exceptional." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-finds-that-i-thought-were-exceptional#post-2336815 Tue, 29 Aug 2023 08:40:38 +0000 Bijou 2336815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is good news. Whilst I don’t have a Zara that is particularly easy for me to go to, it may well be worth a special shopping trip. I love the items you selected and can see how they would be perfect for your glamorous style.

I’ve had good luck at Zara this year too.

I think these styles are modern, and the quality is great. Also bought a really nice cotton textured jumper from them, which will be good for Spring. (Sorry, I can’t seem to create Finds anymore with Zara.) I’m watching their mesh and metallic offerings with interest too!

Zara has been whacking it out of the ballpark this year. A LOT of natural fibres. A lot of it sustainably and ethically produced too.  Thanks for the info, and hope that the items that haunt you end up being yours! I can see you rock them :)  I've had an excellent Zara season, personally. Every item I've bought has been stellar, worn frequently, fits really well, and has laundered very well! Absolutely more than adequate quality. Prices affordable. Actually, my Zara items generally last really well. I either do well with the brand - or I'm lucky with the brand ;) Here are my Zara purchases this year: Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "Zara Finds that I thought were exceptional." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-finds-that-i-thought-were-exceptional#post-2336613 Sun, 27 Aug 2023 21:02:18 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2336613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LJP... It feels less 'fast fashion' than in previous years, and more like pieces that will last a long time. It occurs to me that I haven't seen much Zara in thrift stores this year.

I bought so much from them and everything I kept worked out great. I also got a few items and gave them as gifts to my step-daughter. Below are the items I kept for myself. Most of which are workhorses.  I will confess I bought a few other items that I sent back for various reasons. But honestly, poor quality was not one of those reasons. In most cases the fit was off or the finish was different from what I had imagined.  I got a different silver jean and so far it is holding up really well.  Really sorry about. your boyfriend's dad and the situation there. It is such a hard transition and much harder when you live at a distance.  Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "Zara Finds that I thought were exceptional." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-finds-that-i-thought-were-exceptional#post-2336611 Sun, 27 Aug 2023 20:59:32 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2336611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cardiff Girl...   Right?  I bought a green and white tweed herringbone long blazer last fall when I was travelling and there was an unexpected temperature drop.   It has beautiful creamy white and gold buttons, and I'm looking forward to wearing it this fall. Runcarla..  it is a really nice mall!  I especially love Indigo.   Are you near Oshawa?   We're going to be coming back soon, and more frequently, under more relaxed/less urgent circumstances.   It would be great to meet up with some of the Toronto area YLFers!

It’s some giant store that is essentially anchoring a mall . These are great pieces you’ve chosen - too bad about the silver jeans though - those would have been great for performing .

Elderly relatives,l hear you. Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "Zara Finds that I thought were exceptional." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-finds-that-i-thought-were-exceptional#post-2336597 Sun, 27 Aug 2023 19:35:17 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2336597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My BF and I went to Oshawa in early August, to check on his dad, and set some eyes on what might or might not be going on there**.   It was a very busy couple of weeks, cleaning and decluttering, and setting up internet, as well as some new social routines.   I slipped away to Oshawa Centre, and stopped in at Zara.   I fell in love with some items that I thought were stellar.   I bought a few pieces, and reluctantly left others behind. I bought the Shimmer Mesh Top in both the gray and the gold.   I've been mermaidcore for five years now, and I couldn't say no to these.   I plan to wear them onstage with my rock band, and offstage with jeans and low-heeled pointed toes, similar to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/resort-2024/dsquared">Dsquared2's Resort 2024 jeans looks</a>.  I'll layer with black, nude, and colored camis and crop tops.   The tops are beautiful, with no loss so far on the rhinestones, although I'll be curious what happens after a few hand-washes.  I haven't worn them yet.  True to size, but I did size up to the medium, so that they would be easy to move around in. The silver jeans were so good, that I actually made a second trip to retry them, but did not get them. I don't think the finish will stand up to a lot of laundering, and I wash my stage clothes after every show.    They still haunt me, because they fit great, and the color was beautiful.  I've wanted metallic silver pants for a few years now.   The website says high-waisted with a loose fit, but I sized down, and it had that sort of Charlie's Angels/Loni Anderson very nice 1970s fit.  I thought these ran a little large, and was between the 2 and 4.   I currently wear a 27 in jeans, and 4-6 in shorts.  They still have them in stores and on the website, at least in the US. The Printed Tulle Bodysuit was perfect, but I thought, "there's a bunch of these, I'll come back if it haunts me".   It haunted me, but when I went back a few days later, every last one was gone.   Same with a pair of baggy cargo jeans that aren't even on the website now.   If you do come across this bodysuit, it covers a bra well, wasn't see-through, the colors are pretty.   I sized up to have a less body-con fit that was still streamlined. The Knit Bustier top was so beautiful.  I really really really wanted it to work, but as an F/G cup, even the large didn't fit.   This top is for a slim torso and smaller bust size. ********* **This is a whole other conversation for Off Topic, but I will say this: if you have an older relative who keeps reassuring you, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me", but they're pushing you away from coming inside the house, try to get in there and see what's happening, because eventually, you're going to have to handle things.
