    There sizing is similar to Zara? I have to buy large in their jackets.


    I would say so. My knit thing is a size M and pretty tight under the drapey bit. I am 5 7 and size 8/10 (sorry boys :D). Zara I would wear a M I reckon.

    They do sales often, so worth keeping an eye on the website.

    I spend my whole working life speaking "corporate".

    It's just shorthand.

    There are actually real people behind all the cliches and jargon.

    If you aren't going for a customer facing job PN it is absolutely acceptable to say you are useless at interviews and then dazzle them with your ability to actually do the job.

    Any interviewer for a largish company just wants someone who can do the job and wont give them any grief

    Oddly, I do eat a lot compared to most but burn it off I guess.

    I eat the same qty as OH but no junk (he likes a bit of sweet junk on the sly) and I rarely eat sugar (except that dark brown stuff in coffee) or much processed food (except the odd bag of crisps).

    I have never had to 'watch' what I eat, I just stay the same size all the time (or lose a few lb if overworked/stressed)........I had a few issues when I was a teen and had my appestat tuned to perfection so I can't overeat (when full) but neither undereat (or I get all faint and tetchy).
    However, I think it's more down to genes as all my family are very lean.

    It should do......you could drop them a question via e-mail. Black is always my preference...but then it would be :o

    E? That's a lot of :)......I am B or C I think.
