It's FINALLY time to start wearing S/S15 stuff. Forget dark, dreary shades and get excited about wearing white with zingy summer-is-just-around-the-corner colours that you had forgotten existed, like orange. And cobalt. We're treating this as your detox - try wearing shades of juice instead of actually having to drink it - along with chilled out hues of pale grey and blue.
COS is the ticket for all things optimistic this season, so we headed to the home of minimalism for this week's round of Changing Room Selfies.
Try Out Peach
This stretchy mini is fun to wear - it has sporty rubbery stripes in shade of peach that makes me think of summer cocktails. Buy it now and wear it to work with a white shirt and a bright coloured sweater, then break it out for proper summer wear once we get some heat.
Skirt, £55, Sweater, £55
**A Hazy Dress **
There's something really calming about this hazy, sheer cloudy grey dress. It could be that it's ridiculously minimalist, or that the sleeves are made from a really soft fabric that you don't normally get in a smart evening outfit. It's the kind of dress that you zip up and then your whole outfit is sorted, no fuss no muss.
Dress, £115
Hip Hugging Trousers
You absolutely need to buy a pair of bright trousers for this year, and these clingy, stretchy ones feel modern and a bit retro at the same time. If the cobalt is a bit too bright for you, they come in other shades too. The sizing is a bit on the small size, so consider going a size up if you're avoiding the gym this Jan.
Kool Khaki
It's a good time to buy yourself a new white shirt - let's be honest - they don't last longer than a year. This bib front shirt has a silky bottom half, making it less bulky to wear tucked into things, like these khaki wool trousers. Khaki is a big deal for summer, it's one of those weird colours that works in both seasons. To give it a summery vibe, wear with bright coral lipstick.

Clear Sky Blues
Pale blue just feels like spring. It's uplifting, chilled, and when it comes in floaty, silky fabrics, makes you feel ready for easy breezy times. Pale blue is a bit of a personal obsession (some would say addiction) so I'm really into this cropped shirt. Pair with dark brown for an on trend seventies vibe, or more pale blue, if you're me.

The Sunshine Dress
This dress kind of made me feel like an off duty ballerina. It has a tulip skirt in the most orange orange fabric I've ever seen, so orange that it almost glows. You can't help but smile at it. Plus, it adds a bit of a tanned glow to your face, which in January can't hurt.
Dress, £69
