They seem to work with almost every outfit! Great choice on those.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love both outfits. Of course you can imagine I'm all over the pattern mix in #1 (and it definitely speaks to your sporty side!) and the elegance of #2 is equally fab. Glad you had such fun celebrations to join!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-50th-birthday-lunches#post-2413804 Sun, 24 May 2026 23:31:57 +0000 Jaime 2413804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two excellent outfits - and I really like the detail shots to help appreciate the first one.

Yesterday I had a trip to Auckland, a visit to IKEA, then to visit an Aunt, then to lunch at a rooftop seafood restaurant for my sister’s birthday, then drinks and then a comedy show and then home! My outfit had to last the 12 hours. It’s a shame I took the photo as I arrived home at 930pm. But it was comfortable, warm and appropriate for all those events! And I wore a brooch of my Mum’s. I felt this outfit mixed my sporty and bold and unfussy descriptors with the pattern mixing.<br /> My sisters both wore wide leg jeans and blouses and looked great.</p> <p>Today I had a local 50th birthday lunch with Prosecco and finger food. I wanted to wear my black long blazer and new skirt and so pulled out my old black top. I rewore the Scotch Thistle brooch as this top fights with a necklace with the high neck and tie. Lots of people used this as a chance to dress up so there were lots of lovely outfits. This time I took the photo prior to the event! This outfit was unfussy, elegant and maybe bold with the long jacket. But not sporty.</p> <p>The exercise to food ratio has not been too balanced but it was lovely to be a lady that lunches for two days in a row.</p> <p>Thanks for looking. </p>
