The weather in Ireland, at the best of times, is unpredictable.

Which means that you've got to be prepared for basically every season, particularly as spring - and those freezing-in-the-morning, balmy-in-the-afternoon days - is on the way. Oh, and sensible footwear is an absolutely must. Which is just one of the reasons that these €42 Marks & Spencers boots have caught our eye.   The boots come in two different colours - mink and black. "Bring a touch of utility chic to your look with the sturdy shape and stitch detailing of our short ankle boots," the retailer said of the boots. The piece features lace up fastening with heel pull tab detail. The boots, which are  made with vegan-friendly materials, have Insolia technology - which supports the correct placement of your foot inside your boot for a more comfortable wear. Another spring wardrobe addition that has caught our eye is this polka dot midi a-line skirt from M&S. Not only does it look a lot more expensive than its €55 price tag, but it would go with pretty much everything from your wardrobe. You could pair it with a white cami, a bold red lip and heels for date night. You could pair it with a slogan tee, a denim jacket and your favourite trainers for a more day-to-day look - or even with the boots we mentioned before. Either way, there's a lot of possibilities as to how to style the piece.
