Summer Wardrobe help!

Hello ladies,
if you could help me suss out what things I should stock up on for a summer/ college wardrobe that would be amazing. I have very boring taste in clothes and I want to jazz it up a bit (mildly, don't scare me) so I want to get in a few new things mainly jeans (all my jeans are black, light blue or normal jean colours) that are in a brighter colour (nothing crazy, but it needs to go with a few other pieces too) some daytime and nighttime tops, maxi skirts and maxi dresses (add whatever you think).
I live in Ireland so its cold and raining a lot (hopefully it MIGHT be warm this summer though), my style is casual/ comfortable, I don't like animal print, I usually stick to plain items of clothing in the beige/grey/black and brown colours, I don't like showing my legs, I'm pear shaped (34-25-38), I have a lot of hoodies so I really don't need more of them, and suggesting shoes would also be helpful too.
Please help me out, I am completely and utterly useless at dressing myself so any items would be VERY helpful! :D Thanks!!

Try coral or mint colored jeans. Also florals are always fashionable. Opt for larger floral prints for a more modern take.

And sandals with gold details.

Top wise, try brightly colored tanks. Not like cheapy cotton tank top. But the soft flowy ones.

@Kaitlin, it would never get that warm here sadly :( we'll be lucky to 20 Celsius, I like those shoes and bag though :)
@Nala what colour/kind of top would go with those Nala? I like the sound of mint jeans, I would have never of thought of that colour!

I might be holding on to a bygone trend, but velvet skinny jeans are the bomb. You can get them in understated colors and they just make any outfit that much more sumptuous. You could pair them with gladiator sandals, a tank top and a floral scarf for summer. :)

Also, lace tops and/or tops with lace inserts are awesome for summer. Depending on how ballsy you feel you could wear one over just a bra or a contrasting tank top.

You can easily wear them with a plain white top. But you could also pair or with a printed top that has mint in it.

Even a denim shirt could work.
