Spill The Tea OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Spill The Tea OOTD! This little look was worn to attend a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at the library with my niece squad and we had the best time. The girls loved making all of the tea party food like finger sandwiches, fruit salad, fruit punch, and frosted cookies and created a spread fit for a celebration in Wonderland! As the extra aunt, I had to show out in fancy dress to attend the party and it was received very well. These pictures, however? Were not received very well by me as I went through the million shots that Johnny took! Best blog husband ever! Lol, check it out:

The belle of the ball

Looking good feeling GREAT!

Now you see me now you don’t

Strike a pose there’s nothing to it – VOGUE

A literal bee in my bonnet lol it thought the flower headband was real!

Who, me?

Stomping off to the partay

As a very heavily tattooed woman, I am very used to people staring and asking questions. And, of course, the absolute certainty to get a comment at the gas station as soon as hot weather hits and I break out shorts and a tank. It happens every year like clock work! This past week when I went to pick up my car from the shop, I ended up having the most delightful conversation with the woman who was in line behind me. She asked if she could take a closer look at my ink which I always appreciate and then we began gabbing about anime when she saw my Demon Slayer tats. As she perused my leg tattoos, I couldn’t help thinking of another instance of a tattoo looky loo that went in a completely different direction that lives rent free in my memory…

Several years back, my bestie and I visited a winery for one of our birthdays and were enjoying drinks on the deck overlooking the vineyard. Seemingly out of nowhere, a lady who had several glasses of the good stuff crept behind me, dropped down to leg level, and started scanning all of my work. My BFF and I had no idea she was there because we were facing the vineyard and this woman was operating on stealth level. You could imagine my surprise when I sensed her presence, turned around, and caught her gawking lol. It was a horror movie level scare!! The moral of this story? Always ask before getting up close and personal with a tattooed person. Chances are high they won’t mind at all and you won’t end up scaring them half to death. Big ups to my repair shop companion for knowing the etiquette! 😀

Tea parties, tattoo peek a boo, and a broken down car – oh my! What will happen next in Lil Red’s crazy world? Keep it posted here to find out!

Have you gotten a new body mod recently? What did you get? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Spill The Tea OOTD

Spill The Tea OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! This past weekend I attended an adorable Mad Hatter’s tea party with my nieces at the library. It was such a lovely program where the kiddos got to make finger sandwiches, fruit salad, fruit punch, and decorate cookies with the assistance of their grown up helpers. We had a blast! As the extra aunt, I just had to get dressed up for the occasion as my squad has come to expect. They love my themed outfits as much as I love creating them! Here is what I wore to Spill The Tea at the party:

Who? What? Wear?

Cami Top: mittoshop, French Rooster

Pleather Skirt: BB Dakota, TJMaxx

Platform Heels: Marc Fisher, TJMaxx

Headband: Claire’s

When I think of a tea party, my mind instantly goes to floral patterns and my OOTD created itself from there. This look came to me in a vision and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to. I LERVE when that happens! 😀 I started building this fit from the middle because my pleather BB Dakota skirt was a must. This skirt is girly sweet Lil Red’s way as the black base and pleather added a healthy dose of edge. It saddens me deeply that some of the pleather has begun to peel but that is made up for with this skirt’s twirl-ability! As you can see on my TikTok, this skirt moves like a dream and I had to refrain myself from twirling with every step. So fun!

I chose to turn my skirt into a pseudo dress by pairing it with a black cami from French Rooster. This gauzy number was the basic essential I needed to blend seamlessly with the skirt and that touch of lace really turns it into something special. When both pieces were on, I felt like the belle of the tea party and I wasn’t even there yet! Next up was shoes and accessories before I headed out to Wonderland…

I went for one of my favorite pairs of ballet slipper pink platforms by Marc Fisher and although it wasn’t a perfect match to the pink in the skirt, it was close enough. These platforms gave me a a boost in height and elevated this look into a special occasion OOTD because it most certainly was. Any time with my girl squad is! For accessories I added a cuff from Aerie as well as a bejeweled snake cuff by Betsey Johnson that you can’t really see in the pictures lol. That’s no matter because the piece de resistance was the cute as can be flower headband from Claire’s to tie the garden party theme into a pretty bow. My nieces were obsessed with it and it really blew their minds when it lit up from the fairy lights scattered throughout the flowers. With that, it was time to Spill The Tea (metaphorically speaking) at the tea party!

This OOTD was a total hit with my girl squad so it was a GREAT SUCCESS in my book. Stick around for the Blooper Reel coming soon!
