Style a boho 5 Star holiday wardrobe - on a budget!

Going away this summer - Med, very high end - and haven't been on such a holiday since pre DC / pre peri / pre peri stomach / pre turning 50.

So excited, and trying hard not to be totally daunted about what the hell to wear.

I'm not trying desperately to impress anyone and don't want to look like I'm 25 again.

But do want to look my best, well put together, and not totally out of place.

Have good bikinis and flip flops.

I'm thinking light, flowy, boho.

Short, very round around the middle, but good arms, legs and back. Broad shoulders. Dresses need to be shorter rather than longer for balance.

Thinking relaxed little dresses for the evenings, a few relaxed coverups for day, and a couple of pairs shorts and vests for the day.

Prefer mostly natural or mixed materials to avoid a sweatfest. Not huge budget but can afford a few decent bits.

I am at a loss as to where I should be looking! High street very much not doing it for me.

Any advice on brands or websites or prices would be amazing. I can't be the only one looking for similar things?? Here's hoping!

Can often find American Vintage things on Brand Alley

Star Mela is worth a look, they were a victim of COVID but you can find some nice pieces on Vinted or eBay.
