What to Wear to High Tea at the Ritz

Update: Check out a fully styled outfit in this post, and see what I wore here!

As I've mentioned a few times I'm heading to London in July with seven other girls, we're mainly going there to do crazy Harry Potter fan stuff but we'll also be taking a full day London tour, some shopping, going to Paris for a day and we're also going to High Tea at the Ritz! I STILL haven't decided what to wear, I could wear something I have but I'm using this as an excuse to buy a really fun, pretty dress! I'm thinking of going with a floral or bright colored dress, but I'm not sure yet.

Here are some ideas, the only bad thing that is the price so I'll be searching for similar dresses. But who knows, I may be bad and splurge on one of them (one of the cheaper ones of course). Or I may wear one of the Target designer re-released dresses (I ordered a bunch last weekend and I'm waiting for them to arrive to see which ones I want to keep, haha)!  Click on the image of the dress to purchase or see the designer.  Which one would you get?! I think the first is my favorite, or the green one *drools*

    How fun! Make sure to stick your pinky finger out when you sip some tea (haha)I really like the second dress a lot as well as the green dress :)

    Eternally yours,

    They're all so beautiful! I think I kinda like the blush pleated one at the end. It's lovely! But that green one next to it is fantastic. I think you can't lose with any of those!

    High Tea at The Ritz! What an amazing and exciting experience, I am so jealous! London is so wonderful and the street style is out of this world. I agree with you, my favorite is the first one. The print is gorgeous and I love the hemline.

    Where did you find the Target designer re-released dresses? Vermont doesn't have a Target and I've been dying to try on all the new clothes.

    Have a great trip!

    If it's high tea at the Ritz, I would play it traditional and go with the high-neck black and white floral. It is both stylish and chic! If I were you, I'd get a pair of gloves as well. Maybe a hat, if you really want to get into the spirit of things, lol. You're gonna love London!

    High tea at the Ritz will be so lovely! All your choices will be appropriate, my favorite item there is a mushroom sandwich that should be seasonal when you are visiting. Have a fabulous time :)

    I don't want to sound like a tyrant, but YOU MUST BUY THE BY MALENE BIRGER RUFFLED SILK DRESS! Bhahah it's gorgeous. If I can't have it, it would actually make me feel at ease to know you have it and that you'll be wearing it in London ;)
