Glad you managed to get some actual dancing in too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056460 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 21:43:23 +0000 Sal 2056460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit..... red dancing shoes are super fun!!</p> <p>And "ladies a plate" brings back so many memories of childhood occasions.&nbsp; Asparagus rolls, club sandwiches, eclairs, cinnamon oysters,&nbsp; mini quiches.&nbsp; I associate pot luck with a shared meal and a plate with finger food too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056433 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 19:29:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 2056433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And we have a “pot luck dinner” as well, but that’s more an actual dinner dish rather than finger food. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056432 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 19:25:53 +0000 Jenni NZ 2056432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I should say that bring a plate is gender neutral now but wasn’t in the 60s/70s when I was a child/teenager. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056414 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 17:51:01 +0000 Katerina 2056414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

The red is such a rich shade but looks wonderful on you. Love the red shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056366 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:37:13 +0000 JamC 2056366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choice for a party. I prefer the lighter hose and red shoes with your lace skirt. You should find more reasons to wear this sweater and skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056365 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:35:42 +0000 JAileen 2056365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your skirt! As Rachy said, here it’s called pot luck. Gender neutral. We had one this weekend with our block party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056361 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:32:49 +0000 Bijou 2056361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so fun and festive - I always love a party where you get to dance.

But no one has said this to me in a very long time. How curious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-occasion-a-friend%e2%80%99s-60th-birthday-party#post-2056278 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 08:54:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 2056278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all I wasn’t sure whether to post this outfit but since occasions are being mentioned... on Saturday night it was only our second good friend to have a 60th birthday party. We are both 58 so there will be more in the next few years. There wasn’t a dress code but we were asked to “bring a plate”, “BYO alcohol” and “bring your dancing shoes”. I’m not sure if bring a plate is a peculiarly NZ tradition or more widespread, but it means bring a plate that has food on it, usually finger food, to share. At least it is not so sexist as it was in my childhood when invitations used to say “ladies a plate”. Still trying to wear all my winter clothes this winter, this was a chance to wear for the first time this winter my red top/lace skirt outfit, partly as my red vintage shoes are quite low heeled and I thought good for dancing. Neil wore his nice new dark jeans and a new casual black jacket. Pic 2 is the last time I wore the outfit, winter of last year. It’s not exactly getting much wear?<br /> Standards of dress varied hugely at the event. I was among the more dressed up, how I prefer to roll. We had fun and managed a bit of dancing </p>
