I don't usually lust after new clothes these days. I tell myself that I have plenty and don't need more, with the exception of underwear, leggings etc that wear out. But checking out Zara website for a second pair of their comfy leggings I strayed into the jackets and coats. Oh dear. My inner hippy is awakened. They have a number of lovely ethnic styled unstructured jackets (chinese, s american looks). Am now telling myself that I have to have something new, really, because I have 2 weddings to go to in July, and really, these items are classics and will see me into an eccentric and colourful old age.

Go for it Jess it isn't always about need, sometimes it is nice to have something new just because we want it. That's ok smile

JessM get back on that site and treat yourself they do have the most delightful styles to choose from don't they,before Zara became popular over here I used to shop in their stores in Spain when we lived there even the clothes for little ones and for men are far far ahead with their styling and the the home store is second to none.So tell us which one (or two) you have decided on. envy

Of course you need them Jess grin
And you are contributing to the wider European economy by buying them!
And no doubt you'll be helping someone else by donating your old clothes to the charity shop or whatever you do with them!
I'm sure Ivanhoe would agree it's our civic duty to spend our pensions on nice things wink

Yes that is true. The Spanish economy really needs companies like Zara to be doing well!
