Going to Italy for a week in August.

I've got:
one playsuit
a pair of denim shorts
a black sundress
a red sundress
a denim midi skirt
a 'dressy' dress
t-shirts
a couple of boho-ish cotton blouses to wear with shorts or the denim skirt
What else do I need? Struggling to find any nice cotton dresses. Assume I'll need either another pair of shorts or another playsuit maybe?

Thanks. :)

That's a nice dress, but am not a fan of navy and it's a bit too smart/expensive for me. Don't think I need any more dresses now, unless I find another bargain!

Struggling to find any more shorts I like though.

they have lots of nice shorts.

i find shorts difficult to wear and prefer a dress. but did get some cheapy primark pyjama shorts that'll do poolside.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/07/2018 17:49

They look nice I went in Mango the other day and didn't see them - will look again.

Oh I was excited to add my dress input...just in case you want another one Grin I recently got a couple of lovely cotton, strappy, midi sun dresses (proper old fashioned ones with a waist n everything) from the Modbox bit in TK maxx.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/07/2018 18:04

Good call, Pickle. Will have a look!

Socksdroppedonthestairs · 26/07/2018 22:47

I know you said no more dresses, but I got this recently and love it. Deckchair dress

Polkapjs · 26/07/2018 22:48

Mumsnet Garda party! We are going there on 15th

borntobequiet · 26/07/2018 22:53

That’s plenty. But one always needs extra pants.

calzone · 26/07/2018 23:41

I bought the black M&S dress.

It’s lovely and will look fabulous with my floppy hat.

KaliforniaDreamz · 27/07/2018 12:45

i am still tempted by tht black cotton OB one

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/07/2018 13:12

I like that striped dress, Socks.

KaliforniaDreamz · 27/07/2018 13:16

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/07/2018 13:18

The harem pants sound nice - have never tried harems.

OP posts:
KaliforniaDreamz · 27/07/2018 13:53

They're very comfortable. I am driven by comfort really. but i do get told i look nice so i am not Waynetta quite yet.

i think lolol

i boght those Hush ones that Doesmybum recommended and they're a lovely pair of harems but they are way over priced and i have actually found better ones on ASOS.
