What's missing from my capsule wardrobe?

[DontMentionChorizo]

Hi

Style mavens, I am putting together a capsule wardrobe and would appreciate your help.

This is the brief: I am in Spain and will be here until end of Dec, then relocating to hot country in Jan.

I don't want to spend loads on winter stuff, and I think the bits I already have will see me through. This is my outerwear:

• Fitted black coat
• Black cape from ZARA
• Beige mac from GAP
• Dark grey puffa jacket
• Dark purple wool peacoat
• Knee high black boots from ZARA (flat, sort of riding boot).
• Knee high chocolate brown boots (high heeled from Topshop.
• 1 pair of Converse high tops in dark grey.
• 1 pair of flat, ankle boots (black)

THIS IS WHAT I PLAN TO BUY:

• 1 pair of white skinny jeans (I know some people hate them but I looove them)
• 1 pair of dark blue skinny jeans
• 1 fitted white shirt
• 1 breton top
• 1 above the knee denim skirt
• 1 sleeveless, above the knee, floaty dress for day.
• 1 LBD for evenings
• 2 pairs of thick, black good quality leggins.
• 2 colourful scarves
• 2 chunky cocktail rings
• 1 huge black handbag, 1 grey handbag
• 1 pair of big sunglasses.

I have other bits and bobs and some summer stuff as well as more shoes, so i think that's OK.

So far so good, my problem is tops, I just never seem to buy good tops. At the moment I am surviving on 3 V- necks in dark green, bright pink and one black. I always end up buying tops that are too big for me , don't wash well, or fit terribly. I don't want to buy more black, and they can't be too hot (maybe something I can layer?) as they will be no use after december. So please give me some tips on tops to get.

A bit more info about myself: age 37, 5 foot 1, just under 8 st, no DCs (yet)long brown hair cut in layers, good skin, dark caramel complexion. Stuff I don't like: tunics, treggins, jeggins and their ilk,sparkly tops, chunky knitwear, flowery print, anything brown...

I know my choices are not very adventurous, so please feel free to suggest other stuff, also bear in mind I can't shop online and can only buy from: Zara, Mango H&M, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull and Bear,(think that's it).

TIA and apologies for long post.

Shameless bump!

Do you have a Lefties near you? They've got some nice boat neck, three quarter length sleeve fitted t-shirts in lots of different colours for a fiver each. They seem to wash ok and you could throw a long line cardigan over them too when it's colder, which would look good with the skinny jeans. Mango have some nice non chunky cardis.

Hola Trianera ( you in Seville, by any chance?)

Don't know where Lefties is near me, but will have a look. Those T's sound good. I do like Mango, they have some nice accessories too.

Thanks for the suggestions.

a capsule

I am indeed .

here's a list of where there are Lefties, although there are definitely some missing as two of the ones in Seville aren't there.

I wish I was disciplined enough for a capsule wardrobe - mine is bursting!

Thanks Trianera, that's very kind of you.

I am not exactly disciplined. We have to move countries and can't afford to buy stuff I won't be using (limited room and little money).

Thanks again.
