10. Misfit Outfits Tea Party (Killeen)
Calling all Fashion "Missfits & Mister-Fits"!
Do you have an outfit that’s a perfect "fit" but has a "missed" opportunity to be seen? Or maybe you’re a self-proclaimed fashion misfit with a style that’s just too bold for the grocery store?
It’s time to debut your style. You’re invited to the Misfit Outfits: Tea Party—the 2026 event where "too much" is just enough.
Gathering all the high-fashion, vintage, and "where-on-earth-would-I-wear-this" pieces for one evening of high-stakes tea and low-pressure mingling. Whether your outfit is a period-piece misfit or a modern missed-fit, it belongs here.
Dress Code: That one outfit you love but have "nowhere to wear it."
What’s Brewing: Top-Tier Tea, Artisanal Blends and Savoury Bites. Sun 5PM-7PM
