All rugged up for dinner out with my mother & some friends at a local restaurant. I'm no food critic but would have to admit that both the fare & service were so-so... neither of which truly mattered when enjoying the wit & wisdom of close companions.
I remixed the vibrant yet snuggly shift from the day before with my trusty leather jacket & "gorilla" faux fur vest - my first-ever purchase from the newly opened Glassons store at Indooroopilly Shoppingtown - as well as a pair of knee-high boots to keep my legs as warm as possible.
For me, the problem with wintertime is the extreme temperature difference between outdoors & indoors. I knew the toasty vest would be too hot inside the bistro (though IMPERATIVE for the car ride over) so I took a beautiful floral wool wrap as an "in between option." Rather than a pop of colour, it was a glimpse of pattern that added depth & interest to my ensemble by picking up the electric blue colour in the embroidered roses.
It was also the perfect opportunity to take my new handbag from Navie's Jewellers. For a relatively small store, they have an amazing range of funky handbags in unexpected colours & unique designs. A recent haul included 3 new bags from the range - the Vera May one that is perfect for the current season & the striped Sassy Duck brand bag & tote combo for the fast approaching springtime.
