Go Retro: Tea Party!

...and we're back! I just spent a refreshing week in northern California visiting family. I rode around in my aunt's new convertible, got some things for the shop, ate A LOT, and generally had an awesome time. But now I'm at work again, and we all know what that means! (Time to blog.)

Aside from my delusion about hosting a fabulous garden party at the Palace of Versailles, I also harbor a fantasy of attending a fancy tea party. This one is more plausible, since tea sets are easier to get than full access to a historical landmark.

I already have tea cups, but if I didn't, I could get service for six for $33. Not too shabby. And the flowery look of these is exactly what I'd want, since this party would ideally happen in the English countryside somewhere.

I would not, however, have much to wear, since most of my wardrobe is dark colors and/or a cardigan.

And this dress is neither of those things. Unfortunately, it's ALSO not in my price range, but whatever. I'm imagining the whole party anyway, so I can imagine the money, too.

So what do you think? Would you go to a tea party? Does the thought of getting all fancy to go eat a scone outside sound like something that doesn't happen anymore for a reason? Comments!
