Hey everyone! Tea time is my fav time of the day, me my cup of tea and my thoughts or my laptop or my iPhone! haha!! You get it, right!! The aroma and the crisp taste are a treat to my senses and tea is probably the only thing that excites me every single time. I am always up for having a cup no matter what time of the day but i specially wouldn't leave any opportunity to go for high tea/ afternoon tea. Love the whole idea of dressing up a bit for something i really relish.
Dress code for high tea is a lot relaxed now but these are the few items that are mostly not allowed
- Sneakers
- Jeans
- flip flops or casual flats
- caps
- shorts
- also an unsaid etiquette is being dressed up but not too glamorous
what you can definitely wear
1. dresses and skirts in midi or maxi length are great
2. above the knee lengths are good too just make sure the top is not very revealing or vice versa
3. trousers and pants are perfect
4. closed shoes are great but heels are always good.
And this is how i love to dress up for afternoon tea/ high tea when i am feeling all the girlie vibes! In a beautiful sundress with a nice braid and stunning shoes. The dress is from DOWNEAST, its unfortunately not available but they have a great selection of similar dresses perfect for casual days or semi formal events. They have fresh stock coming every week so you can always find something good. What i love about Downeast is that the clothes are comfortable, easy to wear and modest but fashion driven. Basically totally me!!
Grey and blush are great colors to wear together and i also love the pop of pink, a pop but a soft one!!!
Thank you for stopping by! See you in my next one!
Love
Chichi
Oh my goodness! You look beautiful! That light pink is so pretty with your skin tone!

Such a great post, Chichi! Tea isn't as big in The States, at least in New York, so I had no idea how one should dress when going for afternoon tea, thanks for sharing! I love your dress and hair, so pretty! I hope you have a great week!

I have always wanted to go to High Tea but we don't really do it here in New York or in most the states. However, if I happen to find an invitation to High Tea one day at least thanks to you I know what to wear.

I LOVE this outfit! I wish high tea were more common here so I could replicate this for it. I'm sure I could wear this to some kind of derby though. Keep it up your style is amazing!

These tips are amazing Chichi, I didn't know that one couldn't wear flip flops or sneakers for afternoon tea. I believe this occasion calls for elegance from the outfits that you have advised us to wear. You look so chic and classy, totally dashing!
