Things are moving forward with your wardrobe thanks to the Uber Wishlist. Now, it’s time to fill in the gaps that don’t come up in the first wave. With the sunny weather outside, it’s evident that it’s time for a new swimsuit (or two) and based on our conversation, we’ve got some solid options.
You’ve been pining for an emerald green bikini. There are a few ways to get there starting with Summersalt’s bikini top. I love this brand for you. Sustainable pieces that are expressive without being loud and there’s a super sale right now!
This is a very cool take on a rash guard. This top is meant to be worn over your swimsuit when your bikini isn’t functional for your activity. It’s flattering and adjustable so it will be useful for years to come.
Finishing up your look, it’s time to grab the ideal bottom. Mixing and matching for the win, there are pros for each choice. The mid rise option elongates your torso. While the high rise choice minimizes your stomach. In truth, I wish the high leg high rise bottom wasn’t cut so high, but it’s the best choice in this color and size, so I’m including it in case it speaks to you. And yes, we can tailor swimwear:)
Another option for an emerald green bikini comes from Bare Necessities. The sizing for tops is great. The bottoms don’t have an inclusive size range. BUT, if you are into this top, it can easily be paired with a contrast bottom from Summersalt or Swimsuits for All. (You’ll see the top further down.)
Bra sizes (and swimsuit top sizes) are more like ratios. The volume of a cup size (or how much breast tissue it can hold) varies with the band size. If the bra doesn’t feel exactly right, you can try the sister size. How To Calculate Your Sister Size: Go up a band size (if your band is too tight), but go down a cup size. The same rule applies in the reverse if your band is too loose: go down a band size, but go up a cup size. We promise It only sounds more complicated than it is, so we created a handy sister size calculator for you to reference.
Find your current bra size, and your sister sizes are the ones listed in the same row (going across). So, for example, you’re a 38E, so your sister sizes are 40D, 42C and 44B. Each row is a family of sister sizes.
Now that you have all this info, here’s the top from Bare Necessities.
BIRDSONG Emerald Tie Front Bikini Top. Available in multiple colors. Bare Necessities. Was: $95. Now: $57. Supportive, underwire cups with removable foam inserts. Anchored support thanks to built-in side boning. Back adjustable straps easily convert to criss-cross. Slide hook back closure has 3 adjustment options. Sustainable.
Your authentic personal style leans preppie and this classic cover up in royal blue is sure to make you look and feel your best. Plus, it’s breathable and will layer easily over any of the suits on this list. And, it’s flattering for your shape.
It’s true. We focused on bikinis in our conversation, but this swimsuit is insanely flattering for your figure and channels the pin up girl style that speaks to you.
Try it with this super sexy, soft and functional silk robe from Kim + Ono. It’s on sale, which is rare.
This dress is the ideal elevated loungewear. I’m excited to get you into something from Universal Standard (Seattle and NYC-based brand) that was on the forefront of size inclusivity without sacrificing quality. This flattering, comfortable piece is just right for lounging at home, running to the store or even heading to the office, depending on your pairing. And it’s PETITE.
Summersalt does it again with this cozy loungewear that you won’t want to take off in a color you adore.

The Softest French Terry Lounge Shorts. Available in multiple colors. Summersalt. $55. Now: $38 with code SALE30. Final Sale | Exchanges or Site Credit Only. Sustainable.
Stocking up on t-shirts is always a good idea and this flattering choice from Universal Standard has been a favorite for years. The sleeve length is ideal and the open neckline is especially flattering for your figure.
Athleta has inclusive sizing and well made pieces at a reasonable pricepoint. This effortless pair of joggers is just right for relaxing at home or dress them up and wear it out into the world. Navy will be a welcome edition to your collection and will mix and match easily with your new and existing pieces.
Lingerie is always a good idea. It’s not something you typically wear, so I vote we keep the costs down as you experiment with your preferences. I’m loving this incredibly flattering combo that is also on super sale right now. You’re likely familiar with City Chic, the brand is available at Nordstrom.
Same outfit but this time in red…. how will you choose?
A sexy and comfortable robe changes the entire lingerie experience. It gives you more flexibility and offers the opportunity for a reveal. Anya Lust is a fun brand with extended sizes that is a fun option for you now and in the future.
How cool is this? It’s a sweatshirt tee in a cut that is flattering for your figure. The sleeve length will minimize your stomach and this cozy option is just right as the seasons change.
Merino Wool/ Cashmere has been a win for you and this beautiful cardigan is sure to become a favorite. Yes! It’s elegant loungewear and yes! It’s also just right out in the world. Try it as the final component of an elegant outfit at work on a dreary day.
While you are at home, a soft pair of pants feels amazing. Even better? A pair that looks great, too. Try this all white/grey outfit for a sophisticated approach to loungewear or break up the pieces for more looks.
It sounds like the red loafers didn’t work, so here are a couple of fun options.
While we’re here, let’s talk shoes. I adore the Office of Angela Scott for you and it sounds like you were a fan, too. However, the shoes on your Uber Wishlist were too narrow. I’ve been all over the internet looking for something compelling. In the end, I vote we check in with the folks at Nordstrom or your local cobbler. I really like Broadway Shoe Repair in Capitol Hill. You can even send them photos and ask if they can fix something. Broadwayshoerepair@outlook.com.
While the shoes were too narrow, if we go wider, they will likely be too wide in the heel. So, how about we check with the cobbler about stretching the shoes you have? Let’s discuss on Monday. We also still have the Boden shoes to review. Don’t worry. I’m committed to making sure you’ve got the best shoe options for you:)
Impish Lee is provides fully custom lingerie. This is just one idea, but if you and your husband are into it, you can design something together. Might be fun….
The full length option from Kim + Ono. These are so beautiful in real life and you have the option of the washable silk robe or the traditional fabric.
It’s time for a new strapless bra and I like Third Love for you. The return policy is incredible, giving you plenty of time to try everything out and this cut is super flattering and supportive.
Functional and flattering underwear in a wide array of colors.
Whether you opt to wear this as a swimsuit cover up or a summer dress, it will look stunning on you. The cut is ideal, the look is timeless, confident, feminine and polished.
I want to make sure that Frances Valentine is on your radar. Kate Spade started this label after selling Kate Spade. This necklace is SO good for you and helps continue to elevate your collection with unusual pieces.
You are a fan of color blocking and this Frances Valentine sweater is great quality and on sale, which is amazing. It’s true, it’s a crew neck. But, I think it’s still a solid choice. Layer a long necklace over top to seel the deal.
I want to make sure you have some floral options. This one is flattering for your shape and a true show stopper. It shows confidence without sacrificing comfort and is incredibly useful for a wide variety of situations, especially vacation.
Natori makes beautiful sleepwear and this pajama set will be striking on you.
Last but absolutely not least, you requested a pajama set with cotton boxers. This fun print from J Crew Factory Outlet is just right for bed and you may discover you are still wearing it at 2 in the afternoon. Sleepwear? Loungewear? You make the call.
And there you have it! We’ll connect on Monday about the shoes and an overall status check. I can’t wait to see where everything is landing. Happy shopping!
