I’ve lost weight and need the following. I’m size 14 and 5’6 pear with heavy legs and long body.
I am also on tight margins due to house move.
I need a capsule wardrobe the to can add too. Want to look modern and in frumpy.

love sezane, cos, rixo, ganni, Barbour, blundstone, stories, arkret, bonas*

more into plain classics with some nice jewellery which I don’t have!

although shopping on budget tanned one hand will also look at more investment pieces.

what would you buy and where from:
2 weekend day time outfits casual (shopping, lunch, theatre)

1 weekend evening outfit (smart casual what ever that means- jeans and nice top or casual dress?) dinner out /weekend away
5 work outfits ( no denim/ trainers)
2 comfort outfits
coat?
boots?

will look at Vinted too .

Do you have a designer outlet with Reiss near to you? I got a beautiful jumper in the sale yesterday only £14 in taupe, I bought some wide trousers in tan £100 and a sleeveless roll neck top £34 ( I think can’t remember that one). There were some absolutely beautiful trouser suits, good prices, you could wear the jacket with dresses and dkirts and the trousers with or without the jacket.

Second Reiss outlet and add in other cheaper pieces, until uou get what you want from your wardrobe. My nearest is Cheshire Oaks and I have had some fantastic buys from Reiss, Jigsaw, Coach etc.
