I’m 40ish and fat-ish and going to Ibiza... what to wear??

[NewBallsPlease00]

I’m going to Ibiza for a hen do soon, and have no chance of exercise etc before so this is me...
I’m 40ish and a paunchy 12, post kid tits and flabby legs, I want to look fab but realise what the mannequin is looking like so WTF do I wear so I look fabulous but not mutton?!
I wanted to go for shorts (sequin or leather) with simple tops but look awful, looked at dark sequin dresses in interesting shapes (Zara) and again I’m mutton
I’m usually a cos or whistles girl
I need 3 nights worth of outfits... budget flexible, luggage restricted to easy jet carry on
Help...

In redeeming features good arms and hourglass, decent hair.

Don't wear sequin or leather shorts. Sequins are scratchy and leather is so sweaty. Not what you want on a sunny holiday.

Don't dress out of character for how you normally dress because you'll just feel weird the entire time.

Get a bunch of nice flattering wrap dresses in nice light fabrics, a couple of nice tops, comfy but flattering shorts if you've got naice legs.

FWIW, I was on a hen in a similar area earlier in the year and took

x2 harem pants
x2 strappy/interesting going out tops
x2 bikinis
x1 flip flops
x1 small wedge shoes for going out that go with everything
x2 dresses

This was plenty. (Obv include pants/bras!)

Nice long shorts in Matalan

Black denim high wiasted shorts
White lacy tops Zara have a million
Basic t shirt- whistles
Button through Sun dress
Couple of vest tops
Great sandals
Wooden wedge shoes
Plain tube midi dress with great accessories
Midi skirt with pockets with little top tucked in

Maxi dresses, kimonos & crop leggings ☺️

Thanks all sorry should have said this is for out out at night/ day is sorted!

Out out.....

Plain black tube dress with good underwear
Plain black flare leg jumpsuit- strapless would be good
High waisted black denim shorts with a silk cami

Jazz them all up with some big tassel earrings in a bright colour and some great sandals. Bright yellow or silver clog wedges would be my choice

Hi! I'm size 10, hourglass and boobs that have seen better days (thanks DD). Also a huge COS fan too so can relate to your size and clothing preferences. It's hard because typical/stereotypical ibiza dressing is a bit different to my normal style.

I think Mango has lots in that could work for you:

With gold jewellery piled on?

Ahh thanks that’s some good inspo and I’ve actually just remembered I have a black slip dress I might be able to make work, and possible a black playsuit like the one in the photo (old compulsive shopping habits were useful after all?!)
Loving the idea of a high waist short and silk cami thanks!
