Who fancies building me a capsule wardrobe?

I am beyond desperate for an entirely new wardrobe. I've been slowly losing weight for the last few months and now suddenly find myself with no clothes that fit me (I'm now about 1/2 stone lighter than before I was pregnant).My daughter is one year old and I have just stopped daytime breast feeds and I am so looking froward to wearing a proper bra and tops which dont need to be lifted or stretched. I intend to carry on losing weight - slowly!- so need a capsule type wardrobe that will take me through to mid summer when hopefully I will have lost a stone and be at my target weight.

Sorry, I am waffling....

I've up to £650 to spend and prefer to shop online. I am 5ft 2, curvy and with a post baby belly still along with an amble bottom. Size 14/16 depending on shop.

I need everything - short and long sleeved tshirts, dresses, cardigans, trousers (very short legs!), skirts.

In the days when I used to shop (probably two years ago!!!) I used to buy from Mint Velvet, All Saints, Boden, Jigsaw, Ted Baker.

Any thoughts on what I can pull together?

I can't tell you the specific items to buy but check out the 'vivienne files' for amazing info on pulling together a capsule. It's all about the core of four :)
