Today's OOTD...
How Green is Your Garden? (Zara Coat, sweater, & Bag)

I bought some about five years ago, they weren't that high quality, and I think they retailed for around 50 euro. It felt like a loose knit that lost its shape quickly. That could have changed now with current styles so I wouldn't discourage you if it was something you love. I have been buying Zara religiously for 15 years since I was a teen- it has always been mega popular in Europe where I grew up, and the quality has gone way, way up the last two-three years so the current knits could very well be great.

Btw around that same time I got some cashmere from Massimo Dutti that was just fabulous, it still feels awesome and luxurious, it never piled.
 
I was in the Fifth Avenue store yesterday and they still had it in stock. They were almost out of the light beige one and but the darker beige herring bone one was still available. If they had the lighter one I would have gotten it, too.

There were a lot of new things there from just a couple of weeks ago. The store was really quiet, sort of like the calm before the storm. With the upcoming sale, it's probably going to be a mod scene.

Love the cutting of the jacket and the zippered pockets!! But it is a bit heavy... I got the black one and the darker beige one. And because I'm kind of *ahem* curvy...I ordered a large but it's kind of long for my height. I'd say it hits about 3 inches above the knee. Gotta try it on with some outfits to see if I'll keep them. I tried it on over my Pajamas lol.

It probably looked good over your jammies! You could always get it hemmed if it's too long.
 
I just bought this jacket yesterday and wore it for the first time last night - loved the feel, so light (it is hot where I live and none of the wool jackets are useful) and super dressy

BUT I just noticed that all the seems are coming undone in a very ugly way. the knit style is too loose and can't hold the jacket together. I am super upset and can't wait to go there tomorrow to see what they will do about it (this is typically NOT a customer friendly market so I am curious what I will get out of them).

I was wondering how they'd hem it since it's a zippered jacket?

A good tailor would know what to do. I bought a Victoria Beckham dress that had a zipper down the back and it came right to the bottom of the hem. Don't know how they did it but they hemmed the dress and you would never have known the zipper was any different. No clue how it was done but I was told it's done all the time.
 
ive only worn this zara top once and i can already see it falling apart. first the button hole fell of in the back before i even put it on and it snags on everything!! but it's sooo pretty...hahaha...i think it will last perhaps just a few more wears!
