What To Wear To High Tea

High tea is something I adore. Fancy sandwiches, flavoured tea and delicate sweets that I can scoop up in very unladylike handfuls. That has ME written all over it.

Plus let’s not forget about the opportunity to put on a pretty frock.

You know I’m all about the occasion to show off my wardrobe.

I figured that for me to properly exploit my clothing collection I need to change three times per day. I’d probably need a ladies maid to help out and you’ve seen mine before. I don’t think she could handle it.  She can’t even seem to get out of her bed before I do in the morning.

The top was a recent thrift find. It has a lovely ruffle detail on one shoulder. Thrifting always makes me stretch my style imagination.

The skirt is very old from Joe Fresh.  It is very well made, from their runway collection. I picked it up on super sale back when I still shopped there. The ribbon detail is what attracted me. It is very unique and can be a bit more challenging to style but I’ve never been one to shy away from a challenge. Especially when it comes to fashion.

I’m sharing a few snaps of the high tea I put on in February. If you subscribe to my newsletter you would have seen some of these photos and gotten a lowdown on the menu I created.

My floral top matched my cupcakes. Bonus!

The tea turned out so well I’m considering a similar idea for Easter.

I was playing dress up online and came up with another couple of suggestions of what to wear to high tea.

 

Are you a fan of high tea?
