When I first moved to the southeast US, I was quite surprised at how often I saw them. Now I'm happy to participate in the tradition! :)</p> <p><b>Bijou</b> - Indeed, there's something about dressing for an occasion that automatically makes it more special.

I had a white Jackie O pillbox hat with veil--that was the closest I've ever come.</p> <p>Fabulous outfit all in all! That dress reminds me of something Meryl Streep would wear in one of her earlier movies. And love the colors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-afternoon-tea#post-2392878 Wed, 06 Aug 2025 01:20:04 +0000 Lisa 2392878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz </b>- Indeed, it was a lovely afternoon for tea. :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Cookie</b> - On of my must items whenever I got to England is to have afternoon tea somewhere. It's always an enjoyable time. I'm delighted whenever I see an opportunity for afternoon tea. :)</p> <p><b>RobinF </b>- Indeed, a dress was perfect for afternoon tea. My dress capsule is filling up with a nice variety of dresses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-afternoon-tea#post-2392801 Tue, 05 Aug 2025 12:21:16 +0000 RobinF 2392801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you in another dress!

Once when I was about to start (what I thought was) my dream job I took myself to tea (through I probably had coffee) at the Four Seasons to celebrate. There is also a nice tea room in Sandwich on Cape Cod but again, no dressing up! I’m sure it would be welcomed, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-afternoon-tea#post-2392784 Tue, 05 Aug 2025 02:33:00 +0000 Suz 2392784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You Southern Belle, you!!

What a brilliant idea. Maybe one will come up at some point! :)</p> <p><b>Lise</b> - Thanks for looking!</p> <p><b>Laurie</b> - I'll admit I was surprised to have success with Amazon for a fascinator.

It's beautiful. Love it with the fascinator and heels.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I enjoy coffee a lot, and I'm also someone who loves taking tea and going to tea parties. Last tea party I had was in 2018 or 2019, with my old knitting group. I really miss going for tea. I used to live in a town that had a real, dedicated tea shop, with a full service menu. I had tea and treats there often with friends. Miss it so.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-afternoon-tea#post-2392717 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 17:52:13 +0000 unfrumped 2392717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! I love seeing this dressy version!</p> <p>I struggle with finding actual dresses. I wouldn’t have use for very many, but 2 or 2 would be fun. Will keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-afternoon-tea#post-2392711 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 17:19:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2392711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is gorgeous on you, Lisa.

I went to high tea a few weeks ago and had a good think about what to wear. I couldn't compete with the residents (very wealthy North Shore suburb), so I wore a polka dot jumpsuit and silver accessories. No hats to be seen, sadly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-afternoon-tea#post-2392684 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 15:45:30 +0000 Sisi 2392684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit!

People get dressed UP for that.</p> <p>I recently went to afternoon tea with some friends and we all wore dresses and fascinators. Just like everyone else in the tea room that afternoon.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good thing I've been on a roll with adding thrifted dresses to my dress capsule lately. :)</p> <p>I forgot to include the handbag when I took the outfit photo but I'll include it in the finds. I prefer fascinators over hats (easier to fit my head). The fascinator is from Amazon.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
