I never would have thought to pair burnt orange with mint green, but Salma Hayek proves it's a winning combination

A HEADSHOT OF SALMA HAYEK WEARING AN ORANGE DRESS AND SUNGLASSES.

I’ve just been invited to a friend’s 40^th birthday party. It's in her back garden, but the invite said ‘dress to impress’, and the combination of daytime plans in a relaxed setting but a dress code that calls for something fancy has sent me into a bit of a spin over the last few days.

I've been looking for smart casual outfit ideas that look and feel special to wear but won't feel OTT while standing in a garden and eating cake and sausage rolls with my pals. It's a tricky brief!
