Holiday shopping

[Gal]

Popped out today to have a mooch for stuff for holidays (or just because)....got these

First up - I've not bought anything like this (below) before but I loved the colours

and a plain white vest top.

I tried on this

but it wasn't quite 'me'

Oh I like all of that Gal
You'll definitely have to go again though lol, most of that will be far too warm for Ibiza, and you need some colours too

[Kaz]

Gorgeous, all of those Gal That first blouse is really pretty

The long sleeves might be a bit hot for Ibiza though, even for evening. Love the jumpsuit, I wore my black one with a little cardi over the top, really liked the way it looked. Even D said I looked lovely and that's something

[Gal]

LOL I'm looking for colours, but I have realised much of my wardrobe is monochrome I don't 'do' colours much.

[Kaz]

Oh go on, look smashing with a tan

[Diflower]

That's fine though Gal, you base it all around black & white, which go with everything, and add a few bright bits
A couple of sleeveless loose tops in bright colours, with shorts/crops and loose trousers in black or white for evenings and you're about done.
Not grey for bright heat, it looks awful x

[Diflower]

Isn't it lovely that sometimes we sit around and have a chat almost as if we really were doing that xx

[Kaz]

Yes, it is

I agree about popping in a few bits of colour, nearly all of my summer 'bottoms' are white with a couple of black ones, the colour is all with the tops

[Diflower]

And cheapo big-bead necklaces and bracelets, can change the whole look if they're a good bright colour
Be ready for the sun to leach the colour right out of a lot of them though

Love that peplum top although it might be too warm, but yes, you do need colour in the sunshine. I have a basic pair of M&S knee length denim shorts and a good few cheap and cheerful coloured teeshirts to go with them - the shorts are a staple and I pick up a few teeshirts every year, the cheap ones usually only last one season. Navy is really useful in summer, not as dark looking as black but equally as versatile. I'm not brave enough to try a jumpsuit!!
