Yesterday was my birthday so A and I headed up to London for a bit of culture at the British Museum and a bit of, well, stuffing our faces at afternoon tea. I actually got dolled up for the first time in a while and was probably the most coordinated I have ever been in my life:
Even my handbag matches! An extremely rare occurrence - I am a knitter and a reader and I have a long commute. My handbag choices are usually based on how many projects/books/lipsticks I can squeeze into it.
Afternoon tea was the business. Oh yes.
We had it at The Montague Hotel and it was fabulous. Also a lovely surprise to find that they had very thoughtfully decorated the tearoom to match my outfit:
A and I have eyes bigger than our stomachs, and after having extra sandwiches and extra scones (!) we could only manage to share a couple of the little pastries before calling it a day and heading (or really more like rolling) home.
Before collapsing on the sofa in a sugar and tea induced coma, however, I did manage to get a photo of my new dress!

Given that I have just finished another sewing project today I think it's safe to say that I have well and truly caught the sewing bug. But that will have to wait for another post! And I promise there will be some knitting posts coming in the future as well.

Your outfit looks lovely! The colour combination is perfect for spring, and I love the green cardi and the scarf with that dress :)
