Dear Mumsnetters, please help me get dressed for my summer holiday

I am going on holiday in exactly five weeks. I really looked forward to it, tried to loss as much weight as possible. I lost less weight than expected and feel horrible about myself. I am just under 13 st but horribly apple-shaped. According to shopyourshape.com I am an inverted triangle:

As an Inverted Triangle body type, you have a proportionally larger upper body. You have broad shoulders, and ample bust and a wide back. Your hips are slim and your bottom may have a tendency towards the flat side. Your waist is subtle and you have a tendency to gain weight in your belly and upper body. Your beautiful, shapely legs are your best asset.

It actually does describe my body perfectly. I have lots of clothes in my wardrobe but I tend to wear skater dresses with tights, that's it really. I only wear and own one pair of jeans. It is difficult to buy trousers for me, because I need a larger size around the upper body but then it's too big for my legs.

I am going to Miami and Las Vegas with my friends, who are incredibly beautiful and slim. I really want to make an afford and look 'good'. Should I dare to try something different? What would you suggest? I have around +-500GBP to spend. As I am still losing weight I don't want to spend too much money on clothes at the moment, but I want some style ideas.

Mumsnetters, can you help please?

Hard to say on the shades, Blogging, without seeing them on! I'd say aviators generally suit most people but IMHO a pair of big tortoiseshell ones suit everyone :)

I know it might not be too helpful but try not to drive yourself mad worrying about what to take and how you'll look compared to your friends. In my experience, the sexiest and most stylish people are the ones who are most comfortable with their own shape and appearance :)
