Fitting Room Dilemma Solved!

I managed to gain a furry feline accessory in the creation of these outfit photos, who I must say was really sweet, but liked being stroked upside down!
If the outfit seems familiar it's because you lovely readers picked it in my Florence + Fred Fitting Room Dilemma to mark the launch of Clothing at Tesco's fun Fitting Room app. The look has changed slightly in that the previous black blazer sold out in my size but I then got to choose this fabulous green number instead.
I'm really pleased with how the clothes turned out, so thank you to both you and Clothing at Tesco. The Fitting Room definitely gave a fantastic indicator of how things would look on and as a quite tall person means I don't have to worry about how teeny skirts may suddenly appear in real life. The fun of the Fitting Room is that you can easily try lots of different styles. Indeed this dress isn't what I'd have normally picked up and taken to a physical changing room, yet I'm really happy to have discovered a new style. It's elegant and versatile but also a joy to twirl in.
I decided to play with the layering by removing the belt from the dress and placing it over the jacket and I love the cheerful colour pop against the green. I also added in my own tights, star clip and headband. The cardigan also differs a little from my usual style in the print and I'm looking forward to mixing this snuggly item up with other things I own and doing some pattern mixing. The quality of these pieces is really nice for the value- just look at the little embossed detail on the cardigan buttons!
Now I'm going to share the fun by tagging the lovely Sarah of essbeevee who I adore the style of! I'm really looking forward to see what outfits she creates in the Fitting Room and voting for my favourite.
What do you think of the look in real life?

I love it! I cannot believe this outfit is F&F! I think the green jacket works a lot better than the black one shown in your previous post. This outfit really suits you :) xo

I think this outfit is so fun!! I'm particularly loving that houndstooth sweater - it looks great paired with all of the bright colors! Makes the print so much more "funky and playful" than "serious stuffy office attire".

I love the contrast of colours, so vibrant yet womanly/girly at the same time. Great outfit :)
