I brought two of those boyfried cardigens from Tenerife last July, there still in fab condition!
I brought a cream mac from Lanzarote in Jan 09 - still in fantastic quality yet worn loads.
I may need to take another look round Zara when I need some more basics. Perhaps I have just been trying the wrong things on

You should definitely give the UK version another try. Their size M fits me and I'm not really small - I'm usually a size 12/14 in tops. I find their jeans are a bit on the small size though. But yeah, they have some lovely classic pieces that don't really date so can be worn for a long time.

I went to Zara in Barcelona a few years ago... I got a khaki leopard print hoodie (sounds hideous but it is gorgeous) and it's still going strong.

That's alright, my sarky sense of humour as well!!! I have discount and I still wait for the sales too as like I said earlier in the thread I would rather do stuff than have stuff. This means I get stuff for next to nothing a few times a year. I'm a right tight b****!!!

Ahhhh I bet you get first pick of all the good sale stuff. Lucky though I reckon that if I worked in retail I would be even worse than I am now - surrounded by temptation all day :eek:

Na you learn to resist! I do root through sale stuff though and no lovey I'm up North X

I'm not saying! It's great and I love it. Getting all dressed up every day is my idea of heaven!

Haha, no worries. If it's one of those though, the chances are that we've probably crossed paths. Small world!

But yeah, I imagine it's pretty good. I know some shops give you a clothing allowance for uniform... I'd love to work in somewhere like Topshop/H&M for that reason alone!

EEk! Need to state now that I work for Coast and used to work for Warehouse. Came on to see how well you're all getting on and now I'm suddenly collecting my P45. :eek: Thanks ladies :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh Souk, I'm so sorry. I am always wrong anyway. I just open my mouth with no expertise or evidence to back it up.
