How GORGEOUS is this.

After a cold snap that felt like it was going to go for forever, the temperatures have been heating up considerably over the last two weeks or so. And while we're excited to see the return of warm, sun-soaked days, we're equally as excited for the wardrobe that it brings. Now that it's nearing the time of year to put away our chunky knit jumpers, we're keeping an eye out for those perfect pieces that will give our wardrobe a colourful update. And while we don't want to spend our entire paycheque, there are a couple of items that we just have to have. Like, say, this gorgeous New Look skirt. At €25, the green ditsy floral midi-skirt looks so much more expensive than it actually is - and is one of those pieces we know we'll be reaching for again and again once the weather properly warms up. The high street retailer recommends pairing it with "a slogan tee and heeled sandals for super-cute style." Looking for more pieces that will give your wardrobe a splash of colour ahead of the new season? This €40 New Look dress is not only gorgeous, but the perfect option for when you're sick to death of wearing tights. Or at least when the weather is warmer, but not technically hot just yet. Perfect for pairing with a pair of Chelsea boots and featuring beautiful neck and sleeve details, this dress is so dolly and also perfect for teaming with a cropped chunky knit. You can shop it on New Look here.

And this €30 gem from New Look is one that we're going to be keeping an eye out for once the weather does properly warm up.

The orange ditsy floral-print, button-front midi dress features a tie back and a double-pocket design - and we're totally in love.

While the retailer recommends pairing it with courts to 'lift the look', we can just picture this with a black leather jacket and a pair of ankle boots for a date night - or even a denim jacket and trainers if you're heading out for brunch.
