This weekend, my age finally exceeds my height. And to celebrate that unenviable accomplishment, I am going to a tea room with the girls on the eve of my birthday.
I am not a big tea drinker. I only resort to tea if I have a cold, but going to a tea is something so feminine that it is irresistible to this femulator.
As I wrote here two years ago after attending my first (and only) tea, "It was a very feminine adventure. All of the customers and all of the staff were female and the room was beautifully appointed in a most feminine manner."
You don't wear jeans and a T-shirt to a tea. I have plenty of tea-worthy outfits, but the weather is a big consideration. The weather girl says it will be "mostly sunny" with a "high" temperature of 38°F and that makes me shiver when I think about some of the outfits I'd consider wearing to a tea!

Congrats on the coming birthday! I'll be 63 in Sept, so ^5's. I've been reading your blog for some time now, and decided it was time to be a follower. As a "GG" I can say with all sincerity that there are any number of us "born" women who wish they looked as well when dressed . What saddens me is the dressing down of our gender...when did ripped jeans and graphic tees, though fine in appropriate settings, become the mode of the day? Ah well, I may be a bit old-fashioned. I still remember matching hats, bags, shoes and gloves for Easter! LOL...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathy. I remember matching hats, bags, shoes and gloves at EVERY Sunday Mass.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. While sometimes I feel older it seems that I always trail you by a year.
Going to a nice "Tea" dressed as a lady is high on my list. My wife has been to one or two and I have picked her up at one that doubled as a shower and the atmosphere was heavily laden with all things feminine.
Earlier this week I went to a coffee house for a poetry reading event. I joined another T person who was dressed in high and tight girl jeans, 3" sued booties over hose, a velour top with nice jewelry.
I wore an animal print dress, 3" suede heels, beige pantyhose and a black blazer. The coffeehouse poetry session drew a somewhat bohemian crowd wearing mostly jeans and sweaters so I was the nicest dressed person. I sat in front and felt at home and at ease listening to the poets read their works.
I think a tea house would present a better chance to dress up for the event.

ReplyDeleteThanks again for all you do.
You are very welcome, Billie.
DeleteHappy Belated BD, Stana. Tea sounds so nice, I actually like tea, but dressed up with a whole bunch of ladies, thats a fun afternoon. Hard to overdress for that so knock them out and we want pictures!
ReplyDeleteI think I dressed appropriately (for a change). LOL
