I have been shopping for a lavender dress for my first “tea” coming up in just a few weeks. Today I not only found a dress, but experienced two very sweet sales ladies who were extremely kind…and a lot of fun!  As I walked into the boutique, they were having a discussion about the RHS! My ears perked right up and when they ask if they could help me, I told them I was a “pink hatter” looking to purchase a dress for my first “Tea”. Ironically, this store has a whole section of Purple, Red and Lavender outfits, including hats and scarves to match! Long story short, I found a lovely lilac dress with a light weight jacket for spring.  It has a v-neckline and embroidered flowers on the collar and sleeves. Of course these sales ladies could not have me leave without adding some BLING, so…they hooked me up with a flashy necklace and earrings to boot! I simply cannot wait to wear my new outfit with my baby-pink hat (arriving any day now), and of course the “bling”!
