I love it! What a great find. Perfect for hot humid climates.

Oh, that's a keeper then!

Ok. So what *is* up with all these rain ponchos and bracelet sleeve rain jackets that are out there? Am I the only person whose arms get wet when it rains?

A keeper. You are golden. Now to find a companion umbrella.

Joy, you make me laugh, I had not thought about a co-ordinating umbrella, but now I want one!

Rachy - I honestly think some jackets are designed for their look rather than function. Not particularly sensible when it comes to raincoats.

Well I'm late but totally agree, it is beautiful.

Jenni - so glad you like it. Zara is funny, I can go in there and find absolutely nothing and other times find a few treasures. Definitely a bit hit and miss for me, so it is wonderful to get the YLF seal of approval on this one.

Chris987 - thank you!

I only have the one item from Zara, the floral orange top that I posted, calling it "unloved". I loved it when I bought it but find it difficult to wear. At that stage we had no Zara here and I bought that in Melbourne. Now we have Zara but it is a 40 minute drive away across the city. It was good to see they got an "A" on the Baptist World Aid Australia ethical fashion report, but I still feel a little uneasy due to the sheer volume of clothing they produce.... and I am trying to shop less anyway! If later I get a really specific need though, I may take a trip to look x

Jenni - I totally agree with you. I don't like the trend towards fast fashion which shops like Zara are infamous for. If I buy something there, I expect to wear it and for it to last, the same as other purchases. I only buy items from Zara that I feel are good quality and I will wear.
