Having never been to a tea before, I wasn't sure what to wear. The invitation did call for formal attire, but since the event starts in the late afternoon, I was pretty sure I didn't need evening wear. After a lot of thought, I chose this outfit from Nordstrom's:
The eyelash knit jacket looks soft and warm, and the "Caviar Shimmer" color promises to provide a bit of shine. I hope it sparkles when I stand next to the fireplace with my cup of tea!
I don't believe Mr. Toast would be at all offended if you'd like to pop in on him unannounced. Although the tea itself runs from 4:00-7:00 MST, there's a Pre-Tea event beginning at 3:00 pm, and the festivities continue for several hours at the after party. It sounds like he's having quite a crowd.
I should see you there, I will be in black with a red wrap and red shoes :0) xx flying in by Concorde to Aspen should be there by 3.00pm but like cinderella I need to be home by midnight.. xx

ReplyDeleteMy dear Kathy, don't you look lovely? Yes, you are most certainly going to sparkle--you already do! :)
ReplyDeleteI am adding you to my Promoters' write-up side bar list. How fun. Do be sure to announce when you get here, whether the Tea itself or the Pre-Tea guest arrival. You are welcome to use one of the lodges i've reserved shouldn't you wish to change later, but no need, your outfit is most perfect!
The attire you chose is stunning! Looking forward to meeting you.
ReplyDeleteOooh...gorgeous, Kathy! I love it! Let's chat over calorie free virtual goodies at the tea! ha!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit. See you at the party. Looking forward to the sweet treats!
ReplyDeleteWho knew tea parties could be so much fun! Wonderful seeing you there!
ReplyDeleteHello Kathy,
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to meet you today at the Christmas tea. You looked very sophisticated in your elegant black ensemble.
Glad you like my mittens. They keep me very warm indeed.

Lovely outfit!! I guess I missed that part of the invitation which said formal attire. Oh well, I guess I'll be the odd one out. Will be a good conversation starter anyway!!!
ReplyDeleteKathy, thanks for stopping by my blog. It was a wonderful tea party and great to meet you.
ReplyDeleteFormal attire? *must stop skimming* Loved the suit but I'd fall over in the shoes.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to stopping by everyone's blog for a casual visit. However, it will take a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteBaino-in the real world if I wore shoes like that I wouldn't be able to walk more than a couple of yards!
That is the perfect outfit for a tea. You have wonderful taste. I may need to visit Mr. Toast just to peek at what a formal tea looks like. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Kathy, thank you so much for your comments and making a lovely guest. It was such fun and you looked/look smashing!
ReplyDelete...mmm...thank you for a lovely evening. I DO hope you're planning on doing it again next year?
