This Thursday, April 21st an amazing event is happening at the Museum of Nature. A fashionable tea party to raise money for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Recently I did a post on Twenty York Street to get the word out so if you haven't already, check it out. I'm really excited to be going to report on the Royal ParTea for Twenty York Street. But of course I have NO CLUE what to wear. Typical, huh?! My solution was to send out tweets, and tweet Jeanne Beker herself, who responded:
or a demure little dress....
and a hat could be the perfect touch!"
How awesome is Jeanne Beker to tweet back?! Now that I have adequately raided my closet and google "demure dress", I'm still at a lost on what to wear. Most of the dresses I own are quite short, which doesn't fit the modest description I read for "demure". So instead of staring at a pile of clothes, I'm going to throw it my dilemma out there to anyone who is out there reading this.
Dress #1: White lace, mini dress from a forgettable discount store
Dress #2: Brown, wrap around dress from Dynamite
Dress #3: Purple patterned puff-mini dress from Urban Behavior
Dress #4: Navy blue with military style buttons, mini dress, gift from Marilou
Dress #5: Cream turtle neck dress from Zara
Dress #6: Pink ruffled mini dress from H & M
Dress #7: Blue with cream lace maxi dress and wool shrug from Forever 21
I apologize for the yellow lighting and phone quality pictures. It was a super long day with my final exams, appointments, dates with old friends and the all important 5 p.m. power nap. Let me know if you have any favourites or suggestions on what to wear... I'm totally up for a shopping trip before Thursday and any excuse is a good one.
