I was on my way to a friend’s apartment for a party and I noticed this illuminated storefront full of teddy bears, the Teddy Story Cafe. It seemed out of place and random to have a teddy store opened at almost 9 o’clock at night on Adelaide Street East. I was curious and wished I had time to go in.
I later found out it was a cafe and teddy bear store in one. Being a tea drinker who is always on the search for an interesting independent shop, this made a visit a must!
I planned my outfit to match the decor and mood of the store, I think I fit in. The outfit is neutral and sweet like a porcelain doll. I’m usually more dramatic in my colours but I like how the cream and pastel work. I have many skirts in this cut; they are so comfortable and this one has pockets! See my Disneyworld outfit to see a similar skirt worn a different way. The wide peachy fishnets draw from the shirt’s colour and are an atypical fishnet pattern. The cardigan also adds some sparkle! I feel adorable in this outfit and wore it to work on a Friday (but added the fishnets after work was done). In my opinion, they give the dolly look some edge.
I have never been in a place with baskets of teddy bears before, let alone one almost my size. It was really the most random and cute place ever – would be perfect for a little girls tea party. I think the pictures are cute, not creepy. What do you think?
