I admit, the title might be a bit misleading…. “Tea Party” on the “Seashore“ But, that’s exactly what it is, folks! CL’s coordinating outfit {see EA’s outfit here} is just that: Oliver and S Tea Party Dress on top of Oliver and S Seashore Bloomers. This “matching set” came to be upon realizing we had more […]
