I need a stylish wardrobe for a weekend away

Fingers crossed will be going away at the end of June with another couple. I need some ideas for stylish clothing to take with me as I fear I've forgotten how to dress a bit lately!

I'm nearly 50 and a size 14 with big boobs - my belly is my biggest issue I like to minimise. I tend to wear floral dress and boots/wedges a lot or leggings and a tunic top.

I want to look glamorous and stylish like I should be sitting outside a Parisian cafe!

Oh I need some fabulous sunglasses in a square shape.

I've been browsing online for so long I think I've lost the plot 🤣

Have you tried Boden for some simple things? Their linen trousers are lovely this year, you could wear those with one of the short sleeved Breton tops for a chic look.
Also, their jersey dresses pack really well, just throw on with some lovely good sandals.
Get a lovely crossbody leather bag.
Hobbs is also lovely for classic Bretons and quality jersey that packs well

I’m 48 and size 12/14 and I love hush dresses for summer (Penelope style is my favourite)and I’ve had their Olivia culottes for a couple of years that are brilliant dressed up or down for chic days out with a cropped sleeve light jumper or my boden Breton tops.
I often wear a leather jacket or denim jacket with these too.
Size down though as there stuff is very generous!!

I think a floral dress with a denim or leather jacket over the top would look nice. An advert for the shop 'Quiz' actually popped up on my FB today and I noticed lots of beautiful floral dresses. I love wearing ankle boots with dresses; usually tan colour boots in a slight western/cowboy style.

Faux leather leggings are always stylish too, and are good to pack as they don't crease. I have the Mint Velvet ones and wear them with all kinds of tops; in warmer weather a cute cami top goes well with them.
