Who wants to shop for me? Tea party attire
I got an invite to a bridal shower in late July that is a tea party, and says to come in our best tea party attire. I'm not entirely sure what that means...
So, find me a good outfit that would work! And I can't navigate strapless or spaghetti strap at this point since I'm still wearing nursing bras - unless a cardigan can go over whatever it is.
Re: Who wants to shop for me? Tea party attire
Boden has some cute options, like this. Or, any basic jersey dress with a bright cardigan and cute jewelry would do, I think.
MrsPhil beat me to the Boden post. I like this one too.
I also like Calvin Klein's stretch dresses for things like this:

Super comfortable and goes easily from work to bridal showers to evening events depending on hair, makeup and accessories.
Stand up for something you believe in.
This is really strange. I think it's the perfect occasion for a Barnes and Noble gift certificate, stuck inside a Disney themed teapot in lieu of wrapping paper.
Oh lord. Thankfully I was spared the Disney theme!
I like these from Zara:

I'm glad at least I'm not the only one that thought this was strange. I'm half wondering if I'm supposed to wear a disney princess outfit or something...
This is cute from Loft: http://www.loft.com/loft/product/LOFT-Apparel/LOFT-Dresses/Sleeveless-Waisted-V-Neck-Dress/264835?colorExplode=false&skuId=89811122&catid=catl000013&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=8865
If you get navy, pair it with some bright colored (yellow, pink, lime green, etc) accessories to make it more summery. White would work as well.
Certainly looks comfy
Wow. That's just special! Who over the age of 12 has a Disney themed tea-party?
OP. Would this be an appropriate occasion for a fabulous hat or fascinator? If so it would be a fabulous addition to the dresses pp posted. Have fun!
Gah. I love this one and it is not in my size. Boo! But thank you for reminding me about Boden which I will now stalk daily.
