So effortless.<br /><br />I've never purchased anything from Zara, but I have found that fast fashion stores can source quality wool for outerwear. The problem tends to be that fast fashion coats don't hold their shape way and sag and droop after a bit of wear. It looks like this coat is holding it's shape really well.Lindsay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756634487046300517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-14131518584651061162013-11-13T02:30:16.124-05:002013-11-13T02:30:16.124-05:00Ooh, the coat looks great on you.

The trench has yet to see the light except when it rains like crazy. The loafer look looks great on you!

I've been thinking of getting a pair Church loafers and hoping they are comfortable enough to warrant the price (relying partly on your previous review) so I'm curious if you ended up getting rid of them for some reason.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921799458850000661noreply@blogger.com
