Fashion

[Lipstickdiva]

I don't mind "fast fashion" for some items.  If something is more trendy, I don't want to spend a lot of money on the items because they aren't something I'm going to have in my closet for a long time.  However, there are times I am surprised at the quality of these fast fashion houses.  The items have held up much longer than I expected them to.

But let's be honest.  Anyone that is a fast fashion company isn't good for the environment.  That is common sense.

I have two wool, lined blazers from Zara. They are from ten years ago...not boxy but fitted styles. I went up a size. They rival my Theory blazers in quality and fit. 

Zara has some real bargains but I only shop in-store as their sizing is all over the place.

I have a knock off Burberry trench from Zara. It rivals the fine tailoring and looks really great five years later...

Love Zara!😀😍😍😍🥰

i have not shopped at Zara.  i'm not big on online ordering either as i like to try on garments first.  Wayy back when H&M first arrived here in the US, their fashions were nice quality.  The dress pants had a generous seam allowance for alterations, they had nice wool sweaters and blazers.  Along the way they, like so many other brands,  went downhill.  Macy's INC, same thing.   I still have a few H&M and INC pieces, from before they did new collections every 2 months.  

I love fashion.  i don't have money to burn and fashion pics with fancy scarvage to post daily as some here do   i do like quality in my clothing purchases and i don't collect so much stuff to "run to consignment" to dump off things worn once or twice.

I just got my red jacket and I feel like a princess! Ha Ha

Just for feed back on sizing, I'm an 8 pant and 10 top. I ordered the medium and it fits. If you have long arms the sleeve length might be an issue. I would say it would not fit well over a bulky sweater as the back it not generous.The construction looks good ie seaming.  For under $100 its a good find.
