When I first saw this Zara piece in Singapore it was more than 400S$ (200€ roughly), arrghhh... I couldn't stop thinking about it since it made my arms look slimmer than they were :P it fitted great in the mirror (it still feels tight on, but it LOOKS good)

I also adore the way the fabric falls. When it's opened it looks like the right pic above. When closed the neck part can look like a wrapped scarf, but different each time. I simply love it.
So I lost all hopes of finding the coat in Austria (one store in Graz never received it) and the two in the heart of Vienna also didn't had it. One day I went shopping with a friend who needed a coat. We happened to go into a different Zara I usually don't frequent. While browsing I saw it Ö_Ö but only in M... anyway I tried it out and liked it, but S was better in my memories. So my friend went back to the rack to look for a Small sized one while I was trying to balance all the coats and hangers and my bag... there she came with the only S left Ö_Ö there were 3 Ms, two were missing the button... but the S was perfect, it only needs a bit ironing. I looked at the price tag and the coat was 119 instead of 199€! Of course it had to come with me...
Now I only need to lose some weight... the S fits my frame, but my fat arms got a bit fatter since Singapore. And my weight is out of the healthy range anyway, slightly... I have time until March-April though due to the unbearably cold weather now, nothing colder than a down jacket is gonna accompany me out there!
