Before heading to lunch, we wanted to take a few photos. We originally planned to go somewhere not too far from the church, but then we decided to just do it by the roadside. And just as we were getting into the perfect spot, we suddenly heard a sound—our tire had gotten punctured! 😩 So, there we were, trying to figure out what to do. We had to call for mobile tire assistance, which took about an hour, but it didn’t ruin the day. We still made the most of it!
Now, what made this lunch extra special was that we found a restaurant I actually liked. If you know me, you know I’ve struggled to find restaurants in Glasgow that aren’t just pubs. I love a good, calm restaurant with tasty, filling food, and this one did not disappoint! We got a really nice spot, had an amazing meal, and by the time we got home, we were so full we didn’t even need to eat again later that evening.
Another thing that made this outing special? It was the first time we all dressed up for a proper lunch! Everyone looked so good, and I also switched things up and wore a suit instead of a dress—mainly because the cold had been getting to me all week. But don’t worry—I still wore heels! Of course, I also carried my everyday rubber boots and switched into them when my feet started freezing at the restaurant. Priorities! 😂 Overall, the restaurant was great, and the whole experience was lovely.

Now, let’s talk outfits!
What I Wore for My Post-Valentine’s Outing & Where I Got Everything:
- Plaid Blazer: Primark (I used to be obsessed with plaids, and even though the obsession has worn off, I still think they’re cute!)
- Burgundy Turtleneck Sweater: Lipsy London (US size 6)
- Papaya Jeans: Comfortable and stylish!
- Black Heeled Sandals: Boohoo (These have made several appearances on my blog—clearly a favorite!)
What do you think—are you a fan of plaid? Let me know! 💕
...when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
ReplyDeleteI mean, we handled the situation so well. Thank you
DeleteDear Melody! You are very beautiful! I am glad that I have a friend like you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely and uplifting comments. I appreciate you.
DeleteYou made a great day for yourself, even flat tire couldn't stop you from a fun day.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Thank you.
DeleteHow pretty you look! And how thoughtful you were to bring warmer footwear to the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the flat tire but these things just happen sometimes. I'm glad it didn't ruin your day.
I mean, I do not joke with my comfort. It went as planned and I thank God for everything.
DeleteUy que pena que se te pincho la llanta pero igual pudiste disfrutar tu salida. Te ves muy elegante. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my day. It was a day time to remember.
DeleteYou look very stylish in your outfit for the post Valentine's Day lunch. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment on the mending.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteMuito lindo o teu look escolhido para esse passeio edo dia dos namorados.Valeu esperar e nem o probleminha dos pneus atrapalhou! Que bom! beijos, lindo fds! chica
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLooks so pretty , Awesome pics
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteRegardless, you had a really good day! I'm glad you had a great time together. It all depends on our desires. You looked very stylish. I'm taking your outfit idea from you - I just have to find a jacket like that 😊
ReplyDeleteI really like your fifth photo 🥰
Best regards.
I cannot wait to see yours. I know you will look so good. Thank you.
DeleteA plaid top usually looks fine, but not bottoms -- unless pyjamas. 😊
ReplyDeleteHahahahha I agree with you on this one.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe flat tire is a drag, I am glad you managed to still have a good and a nice meal.
Take care, have a great weekend.
Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteI cudnie. Kochana wyglądasz kwitnąco :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYou sure made the best of the day and the food looks yummy! I am glad that there were and still are high heels with "fat" heels - I could never walk in yours - chapeau!
ReplyDeleteI know, I like my comfort, and what if it gets so sunny and I want to take a walk around before going home?
DeleteLove the post, love your outfit!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSounds like you had a fabulous day. You look so beautiful and stylish. I love the plaid and those sexy heels. Sorry about the flat tire. The food looks delicious. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI had a fabulous day.

ReplyDeleteEasy to see you had a great day! The meal seems delicious, and the photo of sitting at the restaurant shows you're in good shape :-) Congrats on such a beautiful outfit. It really suits you.
Have a nice weekend!
The meal was delicious and thank you for stopping by.
DeleteQuei piccoli contrattempi, che rendono la giornata più movimentata e aiutano a trovare luogi inediti da ricordare.
ReplyDeleteBuona domenica cara
That is right. Thank you Silvia.
DeleteMelody, it's great that the day went well and it was a nice time. You got some great pictures.
ReplyDeleteI salute you! I wish you a nice evening and a wonderful Sunday!!!
P.S.
I'm just about to go make myself a decent dinner. I like good food too. I'll have dumplings with cabbage and red beet borscht first and then cheese pie and tea with quince juice.
Thank you, Anna. Today I plan to have light biscuits and milk for dinner. I am too lazy to make anything. Wishing you a good Sunday ahead!
Delete¡¡Hola Melody!! Veo que fue una buena celebración de San Valentín, buena comida, bonita ropa y buena compañía. La única pega fue lo de la llanta del coche, nunca es todo siempre perfecto, lo mejor es afrontarlo bien, como hicisteis vosotros.
ReplyDeleteRespecto a los cuadros, yo tengo muy poquitas cosas con ellos, me canso enseguida de verlos en mi armario, pero sí me gusta verlos en otras personas. Besitos.
I know, right? Sometimes when everything is going so well, I just start feeling like something might go wrong. But in this year of 2025, we shall not be moved. We shall not be surprised; we will stay calm because God is with us, and nothing can shake us. Thank you for stopping by, Isabel.
DeleteA day full of excitement but very positive :)
ReplyDeleteThe visit to the restaurant was very successful! What goodies on the table :)
You look fantastic! everything suits you perfectly and the checkered jacket is great!
Best regards and I wish you all the best!
Thank you, Maminek
DeleteLooks like that you had a great day and as always, you look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI had a great day, Thank you, Angie.
DeleteOh no about the punctured tire, but good on you to not let it ruin your day!è
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely fantastic, Melody! xxx
Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteYou are such a gorgeous woman. Not so sure ab out the lunch! lol
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chatty.
DeleteI like your outfit - you wear it well. It’s always nice when you can find a decent place to eat that you like. I recently blew out a tire. I know that sound. The sound of $$$ I wasn’t planning on spending!
ReplyDeleteThat dollar dollar sound can be so crazy but I am glad we had a great time.
DeleteYou always look cute and put together! I like the plaid, and the heels too although I would probably fall over in them. :)
ReplyDeleteCrazy about the tire... but you persevered and still got to go out and have a nice meal. Happy for you!
Thank you, Mari. I like to put my best foot forward and let God lead. It was a good day. God be praised.
DeleteMelody, my dear friend, your dressing code for Valentine's day was excellent. But I believe that you are a very beautiful woman with light in your face and soul, every day and every time.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best, my friend.
Thank you, Giannis.
DeleteYou certainly do. Put your best foot forward. Certainly. Hope your health is excellent Aloha friend
ReplyDeleteIt's great you made the most out of the situation. Flat tires happen. It's best to make the most out of things. The photos you took are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe mostly eat at home nowadays. I think it's because I'm often at work all day, so I really want to chill at home when I finish working. Anyway, we're fortunate in that are so many amazing restaurants here, and most of them are pretty affordable- so I can always eat out when I feel like to. It's great you were able to find a lovely restaurant in Glasgow to enjoy.
I really like your outfit. The plaid blazer and jeans are a great combo. I simply adore plaid, it's one of my favourite patterns. Taking a pair of warm boots to replace the high heels was clever thinking too! I always love your outfits, you have a great sense of style. Fabulous photos, too!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words! Flat tires can be frustrating, but making the best of it definitely helps. It sounds like you have a nice balance between home-cooked meals and exploring the amazing restaurants in your area—what a great way to treat yourself when you need a break!
DeleteAnd I’m glad you liked my outfit! I love plaid too; it just has such a classic vibe. Warm boots are definitely a must for comfort! Thanks for always being so supportive of my style!
You look gorgeous, always magnificent!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteMe pareció fantástica la idea de llevar un segundo par de zapatos algo que recuerdo realizaron la hija de unos amigos y otras compañeras de clase el día de la graduación que terminaron con zapatillas.
ReplyDeleteCada vez que veo unos tacones como esos pongo mis pies en lugar seguro ya que creo aun tengo dolor de cuando me piso una chica y eso que calculo que era mas bajita que tú.
Saludos.
I’m glad you liked the idea of the second pair of shoes! It’s such a practical solution, especially on days when you’ll be on your feet a lot. I totally get what you mean about heels—they can be brutal! I’ve heard stories of people getting stepped on and it sounds painful! Sneakers are a great way to stay comfortable, especially on a long day like graduation.
DeleteYou look amazing. I've only been to Primark once as we don't have many near me, but that is a great blazer. And I love a good plaid.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm glad you like the blazer! Primark has some great finds, even if there aren’t many around. Plaid is such a classic pattern.
DeleteYou look stunning Melody and so happy :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ananka.
DeleteYou look so darned cute in that outfit. I love the shoes on you -- If I wore them, I would be a dead woman, or at least hospitalized for a hip or knee replacement! Great blazer and the flowers are lovely too. It looks like a grand lunch and nothing better than being with a friend. Happy week to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for much, Jeanie.
DeleteYour plaid blazer is very attractive and I;m sure it goes so well with many outfits! Your dinner looked amazing-and made me hungry..:)
ReplyDeleteOh, I am also hungry for the same food. Thank you, Pat.
DeleteGlad you found a good restaurant. I haven't eaten out in Glasgow for many years. Edinburgh has a lot of great restaurants.
ReplyDeleteI like the outfit too.
I will like to explore Edinburgh even more and see what it has to offer in terms of food.
DeleteYou have such a beautiful smile! You should smile more :)
ReplyDeleteKisses
Thanks a bunch! My parents tell me the same thing.
DeleteI am happy you had an enjoyable experience, Melody. You rock your outfit, as always, and I love your bouquet (could not take my eyes off it!), as I am a person who adores flowers :)
ReplyDeleteOh me too, Taita, i like flowers and i cant wait to build my dream house and have them surroud me. What a lovely experience it will be.
DeleteI love the plaid blazer! There were a lot of tartan and check prints at the recent fashion weeks. How annoying you got a puncture, glad it didn't ruin your day though.
