Urgent capsule summer holiday wardrobe - size 22

5 replies

Howdidthishappen22 · 16/07/2017 09:41

Hi. I have changed my name for this one Grin

I have had some health issues this year and menopause has hit me hard at the same time. My weight has crept up and I have gone from wearing size 18 last summer to suddenly realising that none of my summer clothes fit and I am more of a size 22 Shock

I go to Devon next week. Rented a house with washing machine - so can manage with minimal clothing.

I desperately need a capsule wardrobe but don't want to spend a fortune (as I need to shift this weight).

We will be hanging around on the beach, strolling around National Trust places, hanging around the beach, hanging around the pub and going for some walks (that's walks not hikes!).

Can anybody suggest me a place to quickly buy a few items. I have decent hoodies and I have waterproof jacket.

My style is simple. I live in black wide legged linen trousers and occasional printed fabric loose trousers (not leggings but that sort of shape). Tops - simple - nothing frilly or fussy.

I envisage myself in some chinos or casual pants (not shorts) and some tops - but not tight fitted.

I just want to get stuff online so I can order different sizes and send back. Can anybody please suggest good places to start - and preferably find me a complete outfit (or two) Wink

Thank you.

Look at marisota or curvissa. I've lots from there quick delivery and Boden sale stuff as all Boden sells well on eBay when you've lost the weight.

Yours- huge site and an awful lot is complete tat but there's some really nice basics if you spend time looking.

I’ve been living in these fab vest tops from Asda. Two for £6 and different colours!
