this jacket is up on the US site...


I bought this and it arrived today(express shipping).
It's gorgeous IRL! I wasn't expecting the metallic threads throughout. It's a very dark navy/white with silver threads.
I ordered a small and a medium and the only difference in fit is in the arms which I thought was strange. I have biceps from lifting weights, so the medium fits me great.
So far, I've been a size medium in jackets. The one button black blazer size 6 (38) fit me great as well!
The medium fitted floral dress fit my chest, but was baggy in all the wrong places so I shipped it back.

I boxed it up to ship back. It's pretty, but not my style. I really like the one button blazers better. This was too boxy for my taste..
When boxing it up I noticed it's not navy, it's black.

I'm glad to hear the jacket looks great IRL! I bought this jacket yesterday, but obviously it hasn't arrived yet. I ordered the xs which I hope I won't regret. I probably should have just ordered both xs and s because I am often between sizes. It sounds like this jacket fits TTS according to you.

Also I was wondering if there is any closure on the jacket. It looks like there are no buttons, zippers or hooks so it is just open?

Anyone know how their shoes run?
I typically wear a 36-36.5 in designer shoes. Would a 6.5 fit? Or should I go down to a 6?

I would say go for a 36 at Zara. I'm a 36 or pretty much a solid 6 anywhere (sometimes I can squeeze into a 5 1/2 but not in designer). Both Zara stores I've worked in rarely got size 36, so when I saw a great pair of heels in a 36 I snapped them up. Unfortunately, I have heel slippage without *double* heel grips. I have muscular calves, so in boots I CAN wear a 37, but the foot is crazy roomy without socks. What I'm trying to say through my babbling is, I feel for the most part ZARA shoes run big. HTH!
 
Please excuse the double post (and super awkward mirror shot! I was trying to see how it would look belted lol)...finally gave in and bought the dip-dyes dress. There's a less expensive, similar version for $30 less that I could have dyed myself, but this feels so incredible on. It also has an All Saints vibe to it, like a disheveled princess washed ashore ;)

thank you poptarts!!! :hugs: it is dior waterlily - which just came out this season. they also made it scented, like rosewater.. which is funky when you put it on.. i was looking around wondering where the perfume came from. LOL.

LOL I would've done the same thing. Thanks so much phiphi :hugs::hugs: I am off to buy more beauty goods thanks to your fab photos. :graucho::graucho:
 
What do you ladies think of this skirt?

OT, but I'm REALLY glad I bought the cargo jacket w/leather sleeves while I did online. It's sold out now.

I love it! I'm a little biased here because I own this skirt in the black and coral. ;)
I really like how Zara styled it on their site with the skull shirt which is why I also own that shirt too! I've worn both skirts with fitted tops and also with looser tees for a more casual look and I have no complaints. The netting is sexy sexy.

Here are some shots of mine from earlier in this thread when I first bought them. I don't even wear them in this (dressier) way because they look so good when worn casually with a tee and flat sandals.

It fits TTS. I bought the S and my waist/hips measurements are 25/35.

Thank you! They are sold out online so I'll try to track down a 6 in store.
