what would be your summer capsule wardrobe if you've only got £150
I need some inspiration, as almost all my clothes either no longer fit or they are worn out so i need to go get some new stuff...but don't really have the money to go buy loads!

i reckon, you can't go wrong with some good gladiator sandals, they'll do for day and evening, some white jeans (although picnics+white jeans = grass stains!), topshop do some really nice low cut vests with like a frilly edging which are gorgeous too. erm, and some heart shaped sunglasses!!
eeeee holiday can't wait
I've been told that the new fashion for bigger busted ladies is to wear square cut neck lines, they ahve red and black tops in peacocks for £4 each. Can't do white...no even undies...i am white-aphobic so might have to be another colour, but has anyone seen any well cut but cheap linen trousers
a capsule wardrobe would be apair of jeans or linen trousers a pair of shorts, some of those lightweight combat type trousers that you can adjust into shorts.
Id also get a couple of cami/vest tops and a couple of nicer tops.
I never go out anywhere that would require dressing up though so save money that way
i reckon i could easily get all that with £150
i have some in a gorgeous burnt orange, sound horrid but with a plain black top and nice beads, they look so summery and classy, a bit different from the brash white and yellow that most people seem to wear in summer!
Not sure about fashion advice (fashion is not my strong point, lol!!) but I'm 5foot2 and I have some cropped trousery things for in the gym but I had to take about 6 inches off the bottoms so they are the right length on my little legs, I took them to my mum's house and she helped me do it on her sewing machine.
Good luck with your shopping x
Maybe wedges at a push. Cropped trousers are casual
I'd agree with wedges, but not really heels. I have smart work trouser crops and always wear heels with them, but I wouldn't with casual ones.
depends....
i have some very nice khaki cropped pants that i wear with heels on a nigh out, or flip flops in the day
its one of those where it's a case of accessorising to take something from day wear into night
all depends on the style of the crops really
I cannot find any good dresses, i've been to primark, peacocks, H&M, dorethy perkins, and i can't find anything that i like, that suits me or that fits well....
any ideas as where i should try next?
:yes: I have a cheap pair of white linen-y shorts/crops from matalan in the sale last year for something silly like a 5a and wore them to death on holiday with a nice pair of wedges and a smart top. I also wear them here with slip ons and a plain(ish) vest top.
:yes: definatly.
I have one sort of vest shaped top that I love love love on it's own in the summer
but
I wear it over a long sleeved (or short sleeved) white t-shirt in the winter and it looks ace too.
