We've all experienced the feeling of opening your wardrobe to see lots of clothes and yet somehow, absolutely nothing feels 'right'.

Which is why we were particularly excited when we came across this New Look dress - aka: the answer to that problem. At the moment, we're making an effort to buy sensibly and choose pieces that we know will go with items we have already, as well as ones that will last for seasons to come. And as the cold, wintry days continue to roll on, we're looking for wardrobe additions that will last us the colder days - but into spring and summer, too. Which is why, at least in part, our eye was drawn to this €23 New Look dress. The other reason? We'll admit it: we were totally hot4thespot last year, thanks to that Zara dress. The black spot jersey mini smock dress has gone straight into our digital shopping basket. At €22.99, it is a total bargain - especially because it is something we know we would get so much wear out of. And while mini dresses are mainly thought of as being more spring and summer pieces, we reckon this would look gorgeous for autumn and winter if you paired it with a big chunky cardigan and ankle boots (and tights, if it's particularly cold).
