I've asked for hell before and you've been great. So, I'm pushing my luck and asking again!
5'10", long body and longish legs, size 20 (which is the issue, gained 4st in last 18 months), small to moderate boobs, lumpy, split level tummy and saggy.

I am going away with 4 lovely but stylish & slim ladies in a few weeks. They won't care but I do. I want to look nice. Pre weight gain, i would have been perfectly ok. But now, I can't shop. Style me for a semi "naice" weekend away in the UK. Please. Thank you.

Yes, or tan trainers for walking? www.amazon.co.uk/ECCO-Womens-Suede-Aquet-Trainers/dp/B07HRYVL5H

I like the Toms classic loafers

I love tan shoes so yes. If you are shopping for them try on both loafers and brogues.

I am 5’10 and can be a similar shape to you (half way through weight loss) I wore skinny jeans and boyfriend fit shirts a lot, if cold I wore closed with long sleeve thermal under if warm I wore open with v neck t shirts. I like denim/chambray shirts with black skinny jeans but had quite a few combos.

Leggings, knee length jersey dresses boots, cardigan. If you are going walking, obviously outdoorsy clothes. I have leggings with an inner panel to hold it in (primark, come large so 16-18 is fine)

If you are going to Lake District won't you need a waterproof jacket? Where are you staying?

Springiscomingsoon · 03/03/2019 21:17

A lovely thick scarf in a colour that suits - looks glam and keeps you wa Smile

Agree with Apples.

It’s probably going to be freezing so you will need a waterproof coat and boots.

And save nice clothes for the evening.

Wow! You ladies are amazing! I love all the suggestions.
