I didn't have time to try on, but marked a couple of tops for when I have more time. </p> <p>Next emerging trend - paisley... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-161039 Mon, 24 May 2010 18:30:42 +0000 Maya 161039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend made me a skirt out of an orange, meaty-waled corduroy pillowcase once. You heard me right. A corduroy pillowcase. I can imagine the kind of pillow marks THAT left on your cheeks. </p> <p>I never did wear it, though I felt bad for all the trouble she went throguh. You've got to draw the line somewhere though. I just told her it didn't fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160998 Mon, 24 May 2010 17:11:11 +0000 April 160998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, I hope you'll tell us more about those curtain shorts on this thread: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-childhood-like-in-terms-of-clothingstylefashion" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ylefashion</a> over on the Everything Else tab... </p> <p>Sounds like your mother and mine would get along famously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160944 Mon, 24 May 2010 15:32:28 +0000 yublocka 160944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This brings back memories of me and my 2 brothers wearing matching shorts made of out of curtains.....bright orange 70s curtains no less.

I love mixing black, blue, and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160553 Sun, 23 May 2010 11:11:00 +0000 Dawn 160553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I headed to Zara yesterday morning for a quick browse, and could have burned a major hole in my wallet. The way my local Zara is set up is that all new stock is put out in the front half of the store, basics such as jersey dresses, cardigans and sweaters are in the middle of the store by the tills and older stock and their stock for teenagers is in the back half of the store. </p> <p>The new stock features loads of black, navy and cream. There actually is a fabulous cream and black patterned halterneck dress and an aline skirt in the same pattern. Loads of A-line skirts, a couple of sack dresses, loads of pencil skirts in different neutrals. Even amongst the ditsy floral group, I managed to find two woven blouses in kelly green and sky blue, both colours which really suit me. They also have had a strong focus on all shades of blue recently. Overall, I was very impressed with the stock they had yesterday as it also included other trends than ditsy florals. Hopefully, some of this will arrive over to the US shops soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160548 Sun, 23 May 2010 10:53:06 +0000 April 160548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Miss Julie too. I hope by the time she gets her laptop issues sorted out, she hasn't decided she can live without us!</p> <p>I have occasion to be on the block where our only Zara is located about once per month, and will continue to check out what's going on in there. I hope my next visit is more inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160524 Sun, 23 May 2010 04:31:38 +0000 Maya 160524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't write off Zara completely. They are usually very fab, but they ARE trend-focused, and right now the trends are unfortunately muted colors and ditsy florals.</p> <p>I could see Julie making a killing there, actually. I miss her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160514 Sun, 23 May 2010 04:09:05 +0000 crazyone 160514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've heard so much about Zara on here that I went to one about a month ago, and had the exact same impression as April. Totally disappointed. Washed out colors and florals and not very fab quality given the high prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160078 Sat, 22 May 2010 10:41:17 +0000 April 160078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dawn, I'll be very interested in hearing what you find at your local Zara and eagerly await your report. I made my first Zara purchase earlier this year <a href="http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Challenge%20from%20Legacy%20of%20Pearl/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_0635.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0635.jpg</a> and was so excited to have found a new place to shop -- then deeply disappointed when I stopped in last week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160072 Sat, 22 May 2010 09:43:56 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 160072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele - I think that you would love it and funny you should mention the Sound of Music - I have a skirt that channels the curtain material... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160070 Sat, 22 May 2010 09:03:59 +0000 Dawn 160070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've actually been loving Zara lately. There are some gems there other than the muted, pastel, floral stuff- see Rute's white and navy cardigan for example. I've also bought a couple of dresses and skirts there recently. I'll be popping into my local Zara again today and I'll report back later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160065 Sat, 22 May 2010 08:27:34 +0000 Ele 160065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been into a Zara in a month or so, but from the sounds of it, I might like it! I love muted colours and "upholstery" florals- anything that looks like it might have come off an old couch somewhere is a-ok by me! (I think it has to do with my lifelong love of The Sound of Music. You know, curtain dresses.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160052 Sat, 22 May 2010 06:28:12 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 160052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>London is similar - lots of florals and patterns, I like florals, but none of the styles are particularly appealing to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160018 Sat, 22 May 2010 04:32:40 +0000 annagybe 160018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Zara, and make an effort every time Vancouver, BC I make an effort. Guess I'm glad I haven't made the trip in a month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-160012 Sat, 22 May 2010 04:28:27 +0000 Tanya 160012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I stopped by the local Zara last weekend, and was totally under the same impression. I actually like muted, dusty colors; but could not find a single item I loved, and usually feel like I could buy half of that store! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159917 Sat, 22 May 2010 02:23:29 +0000 Angie 159917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara looks awful at the moment. Lots of beige and unattractive prints. No dresses and too much linen. </p> <p>It looked fab while I was in Europe though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159821 Fri, 21 May 2010 23:27:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 159821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We don't have a Zara anywhere around here, either. I went and looked at their website, and I actually like it. But, I like ditzy florals and muted colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159813 Fri, 21 May 2010 23:15:51 +0000 Itari 159813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is Zara now:<br /> <a href="http://www.stylistka.pl/zara-kolekcja-wiosna-2010/zdjecie/24822/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stylistka.pl/zara-k.....cie/24822/</a></p> <p>I don't like it too. Especially because I look washed out in dusty colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159796 Fri, 21 May 2010 22:48:01 +0000 April 159796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, trust me -- elegant you would hate their current floral story. </p> <p>I tried to find some examples on their website but it's all Flash-powered so it's like a big video and I can't link to anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159783 Fri, 21 May 2010 22:15:25 +0000 taylor 159783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We don't have a Zara anywhere near me so I have never been...Ugh April... it really sounds awful and unattractive.!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159737 Fri, 21 May 2010 21:00:55 +0000 April 159737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good advice, DL! I like it.</p> <p>Janet, I suspect we had the same grandmother... ;)</p> <p>Maya, it's been a while since I've been to Zara, so I had no idea. I truly thought the things I saw were just plain awful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159727 Fri, 21 May 2010 20:46:25 +0000 DressLover 159727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Floral is huge right now. Now I love floral, but I tend to like very abstract florals not "bed and breakfast comforter" florals which I am seeing a lot of. I also see a lot of that damask print which can get very busy on a piece like a dress.</p> <p>My opinion is if the trend is floral, wear the floral you like to wear even if it isn't heavily represented at stores. And if you hate floral, wear a solid color that you see flowers in. Wear the trend, don't let it wear you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159714 Fri, 21 May 2010 20:33:56 +0000 janetinvirginia 159714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't seen that store around here. I think floral is supposed to be a current trend.</p> <p>Some of the prints out there remind me of what my grandmother used to wear. It probably is a better deal to get it at the thrift shop! </p> <p>Grandma always wore a flowered dress, knee-high stockings, and white or beige sandals. She may not have been all that fashionable, but she was a great card player! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159667 Fri, 21 May 2010 20:00:48 +0000 Maya 159667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what Zara has been looking like for months now. Every time I go in. I am not impressed at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-right-now-i-dont-get-it#post-159651 Fri, 21 May 2010 19:44:02 +0000 April 159651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone been in a Zara lately?</p> <p>I had occasion to be near the only Zara in my state this week so I stopped in and was mystified by the clothing I saw. The florals were either ditsy and garish, or large and wallpaper-ish in faded dusty colors. </p> <p>To me, it felt like exactly like what can be had for a song in any thrift shop. </p> <p>Angie et al., will I adjust to this and soon understand its fabness, or is it just an unfortunate trend? </p>
