...and it is a complete bust! I am not even asking for keep / return because I already know that this is a return.

I had a suspicion it may happen because Zara runs small and I m on the edge of their biggest size. However Angie gave a YLF order to get more dark blue items in to my wardrobe and I decided to give it a try.
1. Navy cropped chunky sweater. This is size L and I am afraid it is too tight and high in the arms. Also I am not sure I really like such cropped sweaters on me after all: I liked the idea but in reality it feels like something I overgrew... Maybe if it was more oversized it would be better...I like the color but it is a no go.
2. White cropped chunky sweater The same problem with the size but I liked this one even less. I feel HUGE in it and it is a very interesting fact because I don't feel huge in my chunky Gap sweater which is much bigger. This one is also going back.
3. Silk and cotton sweater in ink blue I think this is the one Angie got. I really like the quality and this would be a great layer for toppers but again - too small. The color is not really ink blue but dark purplish blue but still nice.
4. Plaid shirt Plaid shirts are no really my thing (even though I like plaid trousers, skirts, coats and jackets) but when I saw this cobalt and black one I though that if I ever can wear a plaid shirt this must be it - so I ordered. The good thing is that it came in size XL which is a perfect size on me with some ease but not too oversized and even the length was good.. The bad thing is that I did not feel as fab in it as I thought I would. I like the colors but not the rest. Pocket placement is really weird as well, they are positioned UNDER the chest and pretty big - end on my waist! But the main thing is that I did not feel fab in it at all. I tried to pair it with red and yellow skirt and theoretically it should have been great but in practice it just did not feel fab. I think the main reason is the fabrication. If it was a crisp cotton like BB shirts in this pattern and colors I would love it but this soft flannel feel like cotton just does not work for my style. I can make it work as a casual wear but I have enough shirts for that now. So back it goes!

OK, so this is my complain about Zara: why they do not make most of their clothing past size L? They do have size XL but in a very limited number of models and their L fits like regular M I think...I can wear it but it is not the fit I like. I feel so frustrated that I found some retailers like Zara and Club Monaco who ship in Canada and have free or reasonable returns - and whose clothing is not sized for me most of the times! This is just not fair!

Angie, I tried to follow your order but shopping gods are not with me now.
