What is missing from your summer wardrobe?

What have you yet to buy?

I wish I had a number of wide legged/floaty fabric trousers NOT made of viscose. Probably the reason why I haven't bought any is most ARE made of viscose. I know people say it is a breathable material but not on me. Makes me sweat like anything! Looking through my wardrobes I only seem to have jeans, jeggins, leggins and work trousers. Also not sure where all my vests have gone. Thinking on it I think some fake tan/accelerator ruined them and I might have chucked them.

Anything smarter! If I'm asked to a party/event in screwed.

What bothers me is most stores already have jumpers and the like in their shops. I do not want to go in and see woollens in this heat!!

I've been looking for a maxi dress with pockets for ages, the dress I loved was too expensive. U checked today and it is on sale 70% off.

Waiting for it to arrive hope it looks good on me

Wow Mercurial, that is lovely! I love green. Sadly not in my size though!

Lots! I’ve realised I don’t have clothes for this kind of heat.
My wish list:
Saltwater Tan Sandals
Light cotton trousers/White jeans
Cotton midi dress
Cotton skirt

Tops, flattering floaty bum covering tops - and sandals, decent quality non frumpy

Desthray thanks just hoping it looks OK and don't have to return.

looking for floaty wide trouser too, but i have a small bum, so finding a pair that don't bag on my bottom is hard to find, i found one pair from asda which i love, and have tried lots on in town with no luck as yet.

I happened into H&M last week and they had a great sale on. I got a stripy drawstring beach dress, a “designer collaboration” top and a floaty white “plumetis” (how do you say that in English?) shirt with drawstrings at the elbows which will go well with my refashioned wide leg linen trousers (now 30cm shorter after a session with the sewing machine).
All great for my holiday and 7 EUROS EACH!

What’s missing is a pair of low, pointy toed slingbacks but they’re more for when I’m back at work.

toned arms...

Madonnasmum · 14/07/2018 09:10

@AnaViaSalamanca

I'm after a pair of those too. Let me know if you find any...

ARumDo · 14/07/2018 09:55

I would love a pair of Saltwaters but can't find any in a size 42. Can anyone recommend something similar? Thanks

alifemoreorlessordinary · 14/07/2018 10:20

a plain navy blue/chocolate brown/cream short sleeved cardigan to wear until I can find some toned arms...

MeanTangerine · 14/07/2018 10:24

Summer work shoes, bikini, summer weight trousers...
All the shops seem to operate by only selling things which customers will need in six months' time. I was a bit busy this spring and seem to have missed the boat. Things which I a) like and b) can afford are now in vanishingly short supply Sad

Tops to wear with my new fabulous pairs of harem trousers as I just don't know what style of top goes
