Keeping Warm with Zara

When it comes to autumn and winter clothes shopping, the store that comes straight to my mind is Zara. Admittedly I'm not a fan of their summer range, but as soon as the weather becomes dull and the nights get colder, I'm straight into my nearest Zara to stockpile all their cosy knitted jumpers, coats and scarves straight into my basket. As someone that suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) staying warm and wrapped in the winter is my priority, it is comfort over fashion any day. Without scarves, gloves and a fussy warm coat my joints would swell much easier and leave me in excruciating pain. It was actually last winter that I first noticed the warning signs of RA, but I dismissed these symptoms thinking they were side effects of the atrocious weather we were having. Investing in a warm snuggly winter coat is important for everyone, but for someone with inflammatory arthritis it gives them even more comfort through the days when their arthritis isn't at it's best.

My recent Zara purchase is the gorgeous camel coloured fur trimmed coat that I bought from a recent trip to Manchester. This coat is not only lovely and warm, but it also has a removable fur trim making it incredibly versatile and a great investment for those looking for a coat that pull off many styles. When I'm not wearing the fur trim, I often team this jacket with one of my large Zara scarves for optimum comfort and warmth.

There are so many winter items I'm currently lusting after Zara at the moment from this beautiful red tartan checked scarf to these super cute leopard print booties. I'm also in love with this wool blazer that looks sophisticated and cool yet still has the ability to keep you warm in the Autumn and this cosy camel layered jumper with sheer underlay, perfect for a capsule wardrobe.
