Look: Tropical Breeze

You can buy this dress on eBay for £17.99 here - apparently it's a Zara copy? I'm not sure of this is true but I've seen loads of bloggers wearing it and I really like this shape of dress. I think this will be perfect for summer and my holidays!

My boots are from River Island and have become my absolute staple shoes over the autumn/winter months!

Look: Same jeans on!

For some reason I struggle to find jeans that fit. I often suffer with baggy-around-the-knees skinny jeans as I'm sure many of us do. But embarrassingly, the biggest nuisance for me is a baggy crotch area! I've put this down to having quite slim hips, resulting in a lot of excess material around the crotch. The biggest culprits tend to be high waist jeans - but I love them! I was just about to start rummaging through the teen section for my ultimate pair of jeans but then came across a pair (albeit not high waisted) that actually fit quite nicely on me, in the form of a £15 pair that I found on sale at River Island. *queue staring at my crotch*

As stated above, my jeans are from River Island. My lace cami can be found at Internacionale for £9.99 and my shoes were bought also in the sale last Christmas from Topshop. They were delegated to the bottom of my wardrobe for quite some time, but I have a new found love for them now. Maybe it serves me right for not wearing socks - but they did give me blisters! :( Hey, maybe that's why they were delegated in the first place.

Look: Dots & Daisies!!

Another monochrome look from me. I should probably inject a little colour in to my wardrobe!! 

I got this skirt in the River Island sale for £15. The length was a bit out of my usual comfort zone but I really loved it so I took the risk. The annoying thing about this skirt is that it has two slits down the front creating a loose flap that goes between your legs as you're try to walk!!

My cami can be found at New Look - it's become such a staple piece for me! My jelly shoes were bought at Topshop along with my ring. I've never really wore jewellery but I'd definitely like to start so I bought a couple of rings the other day and hopefully my collection will continue to grow. I've always found rings really cool!

It's a tea party!

You know those people? Those who can walk into a vintage or charity shop and pull out tonnes of gorgeous items, and only pay £7 for the whole lot? Those people you're insanely jealous of because their wardrobe is twice the size of yours and probably half the price? I'm not one of those people.

My luck with charity and vintage shops is fairly non-existent. Admittedly I've gotten a fair few things off eBay for pennies, but I'm no bargain queen. So after longing for an adorable little vintage tea dress for quite some time, I am happy to see that they are very on trend this season, meaning that most high street stores will be stocking them, making them a whole lot more accessible. But probably more expensive!

So here's a round up of my favourite tea dresses this season, from the 'ooh, I could probably afford that' to the 'if only Christmas was nearer'.

So this first one is probably one of my favourites, and you can find this at River Island for £28 (or River Island @ ASOS), which I don't think is a bad price! I love that it has buttons all the way down. I don't think a tea dress is really a tea dress without a few buttons.

This next one is from Motel for £40, but students can get 25% discount at the moment which means you could snap this one up for £30! Annoyingly, the models hair is in the way of the neckline, but it's v-neck, wrap style dress.

This Nishe dress can be bought from ASOS for £50. The Nishe collection has a quite a few tea dresses with a very similar cut to this one, although this pattern was my favourite.

Moving up the price scale a little, we have this number from Urban Outfitters for £52, and you can save 20% at the moment. This one has to be my favourite because of the dark colour and delicate print making it very easy to wear. It also has those buttons all the way down which I love!

And finally, this adorable silk dress with a beautiful subtle print in a gorgeous pastel colour - which is perfect for SS13 - is from ASOS. It costs (unfortunately) £252. Oh well. I can dream.

As you can see, my idea of a tea dress is very specific; cap sleeve, buttoned front, but that's just what I like. There are many other kinds of tea dresses out there that still hold the feminine, vintage feel that are perhaps more suited to your taste.

Good luck to everyone with your SS13 wardrobe!
