It may still be winter, but we've already got our sights set on the warmer weather.

And not to mention the fabulous wardrobe that comes with it. After all, there's nothing wrong with a bit of advance planning, is there? As the January sales start coming to an end, there are plenty of new season pieces arriving in our favourite shops. And while we don't want to spend our entire paycheque, there are a couple of items that we just have to have. Like this gorgeous pleated midi skirt from Marks & Spencers, which ticks so many boxes for us. Not only is it a gorgeous colour, it is one of those pieces that we know we would get a lot of wear out of. And, honestly, it looks a lot more expensive than its €55 price tag. We absolutely love the way they have styled it on site - how perfect would it be for those early spring days? "Bring a playful spring note to your seasonal look with this vibrant printed pleated skirt," the retailer said of the piece, which features a midi-length design with an elasticated waist for a comfortable fit. If you're looking for more buys that will see you through the weeks ahead, let us introduce you to the €54 M&S dress that is perfect for the changing weather.
