Teal and gold polkadot print dress...

You can't really go wrong with a natty printed dress and this cute teal number is a firm favourite in my wardrobe. I bought it from Yumi when I was in St Ives for new year and it was a complete bargain. I don't often go for dresses with sleeves (the perils of always being warm!) or many shirt dresses but I think the shape is pretty flattering on me and the sleeves make ideal for work too! I love jewel colours and teal is definitely one of those colours that works on everyone, especially if it is covered in teeny gold polkadots!

Dress: Yumi, shoes: Marks & Spencer, tights:Tesco
  I have been trying to do more with my make-up recently and although it was impossible to see here, Revlon's ColorStay ShadowLinks eyeshadow in 'Peacock' was the perfect colour for a fun smokey eye. I can't really get into YouTube videos but if there are any make-up tutorials that I really can't miss then let me know, I guess I will have to come out of my comfort zone eventually! ;)


I had been searching for a replacement pair of nude shoes with a block heel for what seemed like years and had almost given up hope when I spotted this pair in good old M&S. They aren't anywhere near as comfy as my other pair but I'm hoping that they will wear in soon as they are a perfect heel height!


Are you a fan of Yumi?

Oh my Maria you look gorgeous! I love this dress :) I'm still not so great at making my eyeshadow stand out, I tried a smoky eye tutorial on YT and it was so funny- I looked very odd! I think it's about finding the right one for you also I think I could've picked better shades! :)

Love this dress! I have very few with sleeves as even in the middle of winter I still wear sleeveless dresses to work! x

Gorgeous dress, it looks so light and swishy. I have a couple of Yumi dresses and love their fit and style too.
