The Next 'Barely There' sandal looks good with them and is quite comfortable to wear for an evening. If your feet get cold (and I cringe at the thought of wearing tights with open toed sandals) M&S do a nude tight in 7 Denier which doesn't have a toe seam and looks amazingly tightless on - sorry, can't remember the name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-87165826457822085032016-11-21T10:15:34.183-08:002016-11-21T10:15:34.183-08:00Oh that coat sounds AMAZING!!!

It's about getting the proportions right. So as long as it hits you on the right part of the leg - and I would say don't have it too long - mid calf as the maximum length, you should be fine. It's also a question of wearing something with a bit of height on as a shoe I think.. that deffo helps!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874946171943263803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-1620225450623661482016-11-21T10:12:24.038-08:002016-11-21T10:12:24.038-08:00I have ZERO waist though so I always have to size ...I have ZERO waist though so I always have to size up.

And thank you for having the guts to share it with us, I tend to think it's just me who has shopping disasters. The top looks much shorter on you than it does on the model, in fact it looks like a completely different top. I find the sizing in Zara to be crazy, I generally avoid Zara more than I'd like to because I always end up size-confused or feeling robbed because the 'large' has, unsurprisingly, sold out. I completely agree about the negative lesson this will teach our daughters, hopefully we can instil in them the confidence to shrug off this nonsense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692484559999103149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-44256632165384847662016-11-21T01:55:40.480-08:002016-11-21T01:55:40.480-08:00love love love that style of skirt but being petit...love love love that style of skirt but being petite 5 ft3 i don't look right in them any suggestions.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518212395918460680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-8787674263655333692016-11-21T01:46:18.157-08:002016-11-21T01:46:18.157-08:00What is bonkers is that as a size 12 that pleated ...What is bonkers is that as a size 12 that pleated Zara skirt just about fit me in a medium (I needed a large which they didn't have in stock because obviously *everyone* is now a large in Zara).

And then brands change their sizing so whereas previously, Reiss, Next and M&S had always been on the large side, they've now come more in line with other retailers (as much as they can...!) and so whereas I was an 8, I'm now a 10, sometimes a 12!!

I totally agree about their sizing, I'm a definately size 12, and if you have trouble getting into their smaller sizes, it makes me not want to order from them as I'd only end up sending stuff back! Why can't there be some sizing system that was consistent from brand to brand? I know some brands deliberately keep their sizes small to exclude larger people, but at least they could be honest about it. <br />I'm usually not a maximum skirt girl, but that rainbow one could have me converted.Danish Pastryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123972992199553087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-37008485063003821252016-11-20T15:52:07.036-08:002016-11-20T15:52:07.036-08:00I have the off white M&S one and love it but w...I have the off white M&S one and love it but where is that wonderful rainbow maxi from please?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931794995313866116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-67381196150773017762016-11-20T15:36:27.572-08:002016-11-20T15:36:27.572-08:00Bless you for showing us when it doesn't quite...Bless you for showing us when it doesn't quite go right; your daughter's expression is genius (and how my son looks at me about 80% of the time).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
