Even though March 2010's debut brought welcome sunshine this morning, the temperature still read less than 5 degrees celsius (not that I've learned what that means yet... I just know it's still chilly). So I've picked my top seven must haves for this transition period with the theory that most of these pieces will effortlessly take me from windy March into the warmer months.

H&M Garden Collection For The Home?

Photograph from H&M.

I adore the hand-painted look of this dress from H&M's upcoming Garden Collection (out in March!) but my first thoughts didn't include pairing it with my new cognac Bronx cowboy boots. Instead, I wondered if hand-painted sheers in this colour scheme and pattern are attainable. I'd love to DIY this project but haven't a clue as to where to begin. Suggestions?
