Coral + Mint

Why Hello, Hello there!




I recently received this lovely, super fun and adorable dress from Oasap.comcan you tell I like it? The dresses colours are absolutely fabulous and this dress is unlike anything I’ve ever owned which is probably why I am so enamoured with it! I tend to shy away from dresses that colour block orange into them, because sometimes I feel like orange can look a tad tacky – a tad “A&W” – but this dress proves me wrong! The orange with the green sounds like I would look like a carrot but it actually looks really fresh, cute and sweet! Plus the material is very light weight, making it the perfect summer go-to dress.






 


I decided to pair my new dress with my fairly new hot-coral Guess heels because I loved how the orange, coral and green all play together – it doesn’t feel like the colours are competing or there is too much brightness in the outfit, instead the vivid coral shoes make the outfit look even more put together than a pair of nude heels would!


My accessories are very minimal but I feel like it still packs a punch! The lilac bag, my lucky find at Winners, adds a bit of visual interest with the studded edge while not adding another bright colour to the outfit. I think any more brights could’ve made this outfit look slightly confused! I like that though it’s a cute addition it doesn’t make the outfit look too bright or cluttered.

  16. This is my favourite outfit post of yours, you look lovely and the dress is stunning but simple at the same time.. it looks like the kind of thing you'd be comfortable dressing up or down, and like it would look great either way. Very good outfit Miss Bree! x

  21. That is absolutely NOT a carrot look at all! You would say it just mentioning the colors hehe.. but it looks uber cute & chic! THE perfect combo with your new heels, love it! The lilac bag looks gorgeous with the other colors.. I would never think of picking those colors together, but it looks absolutely stunning! I love 'weird' color combo's.. be creative & just try it out.. that's what goes through my mind each morning standing in front of my closet deciding what to wear hehe...

    XOXO,

    PS: do you have a sewing machine? do you know how to sew (and like it of course hehe)? I can email you a pattern for the exact same dress (well the skirt part on the bottom), it's SO easy to make!! 2 pieces of fabric, an elastic band & voila!!

    1. hahaha yeah I am SO glad it really doesn't have a carrot-vibe to it! I am really loving it, I've been wearing it constantly - it's the perfect day to night dress I think!
      I actually do not have a sewing machine... YET! I plan on getting into sewing actually, I think I would really enjoy it! xx

  31. I need a nice big bag like that! But I'm still not loving the high waisted trend - I prefer hip huggers and low rise, I can't wait for them to come back! High waisted is just so unforgiving when you've had a big meal or are a little bloated. And in general, it's just not comfy for me - I grew up on pants that don't come anywhere near my belly button!

    1. I've always loved highwaisted skirts actually, I've found them to be more flattering on my body shape! I never really suited hip huggers but I know a lot of people who'd agree with you! I grew up on the HH too but I always rebelled against them and went with slightly higher rises! xx

  75. Thanks for your sweet comment, you are too cute! If we wore our tangerine and mint outfits next to each other we would look like we were being styled for the same lookbook or something haha. I too don't usually go for orange, I feel like it makes my blonde pale-ness look even more washed out, but I actually had a lot of fun with the color this time! Your dress is too cute, I would be wearing it way too much all summer!
    hope you're having a beautiful day!
