Have you ever really really loved a style or print that you bought it twice? Well thats what happened to me this week. Remember my totally awesome green trousers? Well, it turns out they made a dress version of these also. The dress then went on mega sale and there it was staring at me in my size,so I walked away with it for a mere few quid and i’m so pleased i did, its been the perfect companion to this warm weather we’ve been having. Comfy and cool and the colour packs a punch. All that for less than a tenner! As you can see from my previous post i went with practically the exact same colour scheme with the dress as i did the trousers.. Apparently my originality doesn’t even stop at buying the same print twice, i will also dress it up the exact same way and present it to you all again to see.
No shame here 😉
If it ain’t broke as they saying goes..
Dress: F&F Sale
(Quick fact, these look identical to the Zara sell outs but they are in fact Peacocks! The store i had written off back last year has had a major shake up and they now sell awesome shoes like these!! I shall be back Peacocks!)
Bag: Fossil c/o McArthur Glen
Cuff: Yosa
Rayban Aviators: c/oSunglasses Shop

Jenna from Visions of Vogue
thanks Jenna, i just couldn't resist getting the print twice haha!x
Yay, for buying a print twice. Especially one as fabulous as this! I LOVE your pants and this dress is equally fantastic! xo
aww thanks sweetie, i honestly just could not help myself heehee xx
This dress just looks so super cool! I don't blame you for buying the same print twice at all. It's so summery and such a gorgeous shade of green. I love the subtle print mixing going on with the shoes you wore with it too. So cute.

thanks for noticing the subtle pattern mixing Jamie… good eye!;) xxx
I love all the colors in this outfit- I never think to wear orange with green but I love both of those colors equally. I don't blame you for buying the same print twice- it's super pretty! I don't think I've bought the same print in different items but I have bottom the same items in different prints (whoa, I had to stop and think about that for a moment- made my brain a little fuzzy since it's nearly 1am, haha)
Thanks Victoria, i have to say i love orange and green, it was like they were made for each other!heehee! hope you're now fast asleep i bet its middle of the night for you right now xxx
I always forget to check out Peacocks but will definately be popping in next time I'm in town! Gorgeous!
i know me too!! needless to say i shall be popping in more often, especially for their great shoes! plus there is one literally 2 mins from my house haha!xx
Such a lovely print looks amazing with the orange and the blue background xx
You are just so fabulous! I love the print and all the accessories you chose! You inspire me to do a better job at pairing different things together. Have a great weekend!

I love love love that print! I also LOVE those sandals! Such a cute look!
Love the print of that dress and the color. I just recently bought something for the second time. It was just the perfect piece of fabric in green so when I saw it in red, I had to have it also. 🙂

I'm forever buying two pairs of the same shoe, just in different colors – – – cuz they are both cool. I love this dress on you. I bought one similar at "my" thrift shop but it is solid and tan and not printed but it IS similar. lol Thanks for this fun "passionate" blog hop and for being at my "item" one, too. (HUG)
I love the orange against the green. Just love being inspired by different color combinations. Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend!
Love it! The print and the orange bag. Your shoes are fab as well, love the design

Holy moly! Peacocks! I've found the shoes of my dream for £14 and now I'm trying to resist the matching bag! Who'd have thought? xx
Those shoes are just amazing!! I love when you get 2 pairs in a different color. I tend to do that too plus it's great if the other pairs rip or something you have a back up one ! Lovely outfit by the way!
I love it all. I really love the colour of the bag. xx
I Rachel. I usually shop at either Sainsbury's or Asda. I had no idea F&F did such gorgeous clothes. I remember your trousers, you suit strong bright colours! (Decided to shop at Tesco next time!)
So I was all about this pretty dress and then I saw your shoes and got totally distracted, love them!
Hi Rachel,
I love to get the same shoes in the different colors, as well as pants, tops, skirts… well pretty much everything! 🙂

Love this!! The pattern is great… I probably would have bought in both too!! Thanks again for being such a great co-host!
I can't believe these shoes are not Zara! Oh my! I adore the dress, the bag and the shoes – all compliment each other so much! Gorgeous look! xx

I love that dress! It's the best print!
Marie @ In Our Happy Place
I think this dress is fabulous on you! I love the print, and think it works well with the contrast sleeve. I very nearly bought a F&F dress when I already have the skirt, just because I loved the print so much, but I was with the OH and he looked at me as though I was crazy…
Looks great with the orange and those sandals x
