Next weekend I'm meeting a couple of friends and going for lunch and a mooch round harrords.

I want to look effortlessly stylish, but am worried what to wear as my usual skinny jeans, vest, blazer just won't be suitable in this heat!

I'd rather not spend too much, but would love suggestions of what could work - I'm 5ft4, size 14, bit of an arse, good boobs, but not so good arms.

A nice summer light dress with wedge sandals ? A nice maxi skirt? A nice knee length A-line skirt with wedges and a tee and some nice jewellery?

Wide leg trousers, sandals and a plain tee?

Skinny jeans and a loose floaty top- a la Mint Velvet. Perhaps with some nice jewellery?

What about linen knee shorts, flat sandals and a vest top? Depends upon your age and your body shape.

Ooh, lots of lovely suggestions!

I'm 33 and quite curvy, was an hourglass pre dc, now more of a pear!

My friends both always look so effortless, and I always very over the top; I do blame that on my boobs though - I'm a 34g, I find they make every outfit look too much iyswim?

I'm a 32gg at the moment (breastfeeding, at least you're used to yours!) and this top with a bias cut navy linen skirt looks summery but not very booby and not too casual.

This would be my kind of thing for effortlessly stylish and comfy:

Cotton denim dress
White wedges/sandals

Just lose the blazer from your standard outfit & you'll look great ;)

Brilliant, thank you for all the links, a few things there I like, so might have to order them and see what they're like on.

evelyn that would work, except thanks to my arms I look like a wrestler in just a vest!
