SOS - on holiday with nothing to wear!!!

NomChanged · 28/08/2017 12:54

Please help- I messed up packing for holidays! I focused all my attention on ensuring that the DC had everything they needed and now I find myself in a swanky resort in Portugal without much other than a few tshirts and shorts combos. I'm looking at all the other guests with beautiful tops, floaty dresses and beach cover ups. All stuff I could easily have bought back home if I'd been more organised! Does anyone know if any of the online stores do next day delivery to Portugal.

Where in Portugal are you? Can you head off shopping for a couple of hours?

Thabks Cider - unfortunately not - I'm in a very remote place. The irony is that it's lack of proximity to towns and cities was a selling point! Ill have a look online this evening once the DCs have gone to bed

Could you ask in the hotel if they have a stash of lost/Unclaimed property? I realise that could be major cringe but you never know.

This probably isn't a lot of help but once when we were on a walking holiday my parents were asked to a classical music concert by friends who were also staying nearby. Obviously DM had only packed shorts etc so she wore the tablecloth as a kind of toga.

Can't you look at Portuguese online stores? I'm sure Zara and Mango sell in Portugal.

Also Massimo Dutti are there too. They have their autumn ranges in at the moment though, there are sale rails of summer stuff. H&M are in pt too. TBH though, I think I'd just style it out in the stuff I brought (combined with decent hair and subtle MU for evenings). Leave the tryhards to their own game Wink.

Well if you look good I wouldn't worry to much about it. I wear floaty tops and dresses to cover up a multitude of sins and am always slightly envious of those who can just wear a simple short and t-shirt combo.
As for a Beach cover up, you clearly don't need one if you haven't bought one so again slightly envious here you clearly have a great bod.

enjoy your hols, relax you look amazing I'm sure
