Coffee Cup Dress

I wore this outfit to a belated Christmas dinner last week (the red and green colour combination felt appropriately festive for the occasion). This Orla Kiely dress is a particular favourite of mine at the moment - I love the silhouette, the teal green colour and most of all the coffee cup print (perfect for a caffeine addict like me). Do you have a current favourite item in your wardrobe? x


♥ Orla Kiely coffee cup print dress (on sale from People Tree)
♥ Vintage Ferragamo bow pumps
Mimco flower headband
♥ Pearl necklace (worn as bracelet) from the markets

How splendid! I too, do love the silhouette it gives you.

It goes lovely with the red headband, using diff colours is wonderful to spice up your wardrobe!!

I have my new blue New Look wedges, they're a bright bright blue and I cannot wait to wear them! That or my A-Wear dress it's got a cowl neck and goes just above my knee so it's my go-to-dress when I feel bloated or don't care about being all glammed up!

Love this dress the style and the color are lovely on you. I'm a big fan of the teal + red color combo too.
I've got a pair of red skinny jeans I've been wearing all over the place lately. At first I felt like I was standing out in them, but now I just think they are awesome.

I absolutely love the print and colour of your dress. It's so pretty. I just picked up a lace top in the sales in a very similar shade which has very quickly become my favourite piece of clothing. I'm desperate for spring to arrive so that I have to stop hiding it away under my jumper!
