Pretty and chic! I really love outfit 1. The shoes are just brilliant!!

Parsley, thank you for the advice on the marbled skirt. You saved me the trouble. If you needed a L, which is what I usually wear in bottoms at Zara, I suspect I would be sized out. No XL available. How weird is it that a size 8 is an XL. Ah, just the universe telling me I don't need another skirt!

Hi Parsley --

I completely agree with Firecracker's comment about these looks showing two different types of elegance (slash energy). Two winners from my perspective as well!

So gorgeous in both! I wouldn't change a thing. Fab lippy too.

Parsley, I love both of these looks! The longer bomber is really interesting and looks great on your long and lean body. And I wish I had spoken to you weeks ago when I tried that Zara skirt! I was so intimidated by the fit of the medium that I gave up. I love it on you.

Thanks so much for your nice comments!
Janet- Gosh, I don't know, but I would have thought we'd probably wear the same size, just maybe distributed a little differently. I would think the L would work for you.
Viva- It's not too late to try- they've still got them!
Zara's sizing can be strange sometimes, can't it?

Absolutely stunning Parsley. I have been anti bomber but you have 'turned' me. Now I want one lol. What I note here with both of your jackets is that they appear to be longer than many bomber style jackets that hit on the waist. This longer length is really flattering and both outfits have such a long slender line.

Adore both looks on you! Each one is special in a different way. And that Elizabeth and James top is so, so pretty. What a springlike look. I must say I am tempted by the Zara skirt also. Hmmmm...Not sure about sizing, though.
