Why You Need A Tea Dress In Your Wardrobe This Summer

Dress | Shoes | Bag (all New Look)

If you don't already have a tea dress in your wardrobe for summer then you need to get one! The wrap-over design makes them universally flattering on every figure because they nip in at the waist at just the right place, and the frilly V-neckline makes them look so cute and feminine. I'm not even the girliest of dressers - I love denim shorts and slogan T-shirts in the summer - but I already have about six tea dresses in my wardrobe, I can't get enough of them!

My latest acquisition is this gorgeous beige, yellow and blue tea dress from New Look. I love the mixed floral print and it's an absolute bargain too; it was originally £19.99 but I've just seen it's gone into the sale for £14. I teamed up with New Look on this post to create a wedding guest outfit, so I added these taupe suede heels which are from the New Look wedding collection. They're such a classic colour so they'll go with pretty much any outfit, plus I think the V-shaped opening at the front really helps to elongate your legs.

Also how cute is this clutch bag?! It's covered in little delicate flowers made of sequins. As you can imagine my inner magpie was very happy when I spotted this on the website, and it looks even better in real life. The sequins catch the light so beautifully and there's also a chain inside if you prefer to go hands-free and wear it on your shoulder.

Wedding season is officially upon us, and it can be tricky to dress for but I think you can't go wrong with cute floral dresses, as long as they're not white of course!

What's your go-to summer outfit?
