Swanky Lunch

We had a lovely buffet lunch today compliments of the company.  It was at Griffins which is in one of the better hotels here in Lotusland.  

I didn't want to look like a slob, so decided to wear a nice jacket.  It's a Tevrow+Chase which is a Canadian line but I got it from Winners - the local equivalent of TJ Maxx. 

I even wore shoes with heels.

The fun element today, hidden from view was my Disneyland T-shirt.

And I added a lolbrooch (little-old-lady brooch).  This was the other 2 for 2 item I got the other day with my former colleague.

I have always liked lolbrooches ever since I was small when my little brother found one on the ground and gave it to me.  Little did he know how that simple gesture would trigger a lolbrooch obsession.

Big Stripes and a Boar

I bought this big stripey vest thing on a whim and am not sure if I like it or not.

The colours are nice, but the top is a little skimpy (not sure if that is the right word).  I feel like it should have wider shoulders - or maybe I just don't have the right body shape for this garment.  Mongs @ My Thrifty Closet has a good post on body shape this week, and it might be I have something to learn.

I had the urge to wear this chunky necklace even though it didn't really go:

A former co-worker came down for lunch the other day and then talked me into going in with her on a Buy 2 Get 2 sale as she could only find 2 items she liked.  The chunky necklace was one of the items and I wanted to try it out.

And I held the top of the vest together with a pin:

Here is a picture for better detail:

This is actually a pewter Scottish Clan MacLaren pin. Their rallying cry is "Boars Rock".  Nothing to do with me though, the only Scottish in my family is MacIntosh, methinks.
