I’m not a fan of tea. Gasp. I know. Personally, I’m not a fan of any warm beverage (yep, that counts out coffee too – shocker). However, I adore the concept of having tea. Just ask Matt. Last year in Ireland, I conned him into going to tea when we stayed at Ashford castle and it did not disappoint. The scones alone were worth all the teasing I got for the rest of the trip for making him drink the whole pot of tea. When we shot this post at the Langham here in Chicago, I saw that they did a tea too!  So if you need something to wear, this lace blue dress gives me all the feels!

I love the length of this midi dress with the added little ruffle at the bottom. I’ve actually worn this brand (NBD, that’s the name) a lot because I feel like the cuts are female friendly. Meaning, they don’t make you look like a walking box. This light blue lace is the perfect color for summer too. With a strappy little top, this dress is sure to keep you cool should it be a hotter than average day. There are a few different lengths and cuts of this dress available too if midi isn’t your thing. I linked to them below!

While some of us may never find ourselves at tea, this dress is also great for cocktail attire weddings, bridal showers, and date night. To be honest, I’ve only been to tea about 3 times in my life but I feel like that’s because I don’t actually like the central element: tea. Also, it’s almost the end of this month long series so give me a break on thinking up occasions to wear dresses! Just trust me when I say every occasion is a reason to wear a dress.

Do you like tea? Do you like going to afternoon tea? Those are two different things and the answer doesn’t need to be yes to both IMO!

As a reminder, you can see all of the dresses from this A Dress A Day series here! Or there’s a list below!
