Floating Text Around an Image issue

I have some text I wish to wrap around an image - I understand I need to float the image to the left to force the text to wrap around it. Whatever I do doesn't seem to work?

I've set up a codepen here: https://codepen.io/emilychews/pen/GmdZOb

Code is below for quick reference.

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

.outer {
  width: 50%;
  height: 50vh;
  background: blue;
}

.inner {
  display: block;
  width: 25%;
  height: 25vh;
  background: red;
  float: left;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

p {
  color: white;
}
<div class="outer">

    in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur </p>
  <div class="inner">IMAGE</div>
</div>

You need to put your image before the text so that the text can float up along side it.

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

.outer {
  width: 50%;
  height: 50vh;
  background: blue;
}

.inner {
  display: block;
  width: 25%;
  height: 25vh;
  background: red;
  float: left;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

p {
  color: white;
}
<div class="outer">
  <div class="inner">IMAGE</div>
