Non tragic style blog featuring a stay at home mum - surely one of you S&B goddesses have set one up?

I love WIT's blog and Wendy's Look Book (she of fame). But neither of these girls have kids and as fab as their daily outfits are, they're mostly OTT for the school run. Is there a blog out there where a mum posts a photo of herself looking uber-stylish every day and gives us links to where she got the stuff so I no longer need to spend my days agonising over making up outfits? Any of the fashion blogs on the MN blogger network or ones I've found by googling are quite frankly, tragic

Liking the blog dingdong - I now have coat envy Envy.

Aw, thanks Lola...it really is gorgeous. In face I love it more than I want to admit Blush
I think you can get the Red colour on some websites for less than £100 but it's still a big spend for this time of year.
And scarlet DH is not won over by your suggestion Grin.

Going to ask a friend to 'pose' for me tomorrow...will see her at Mum and Tots. She's an ex-model, mum of 4 and still manages to look immaculate, yet totally appropriate, and without spending too much. Hope she says yes to an anon post - won't show her face, just her outfit. Fingers crossed

Fashion Detective is a mum who works from home, so not strictly a stay at home mum. Some stuff is cool, other stuff not my bag at all but you've got to mix it up a bit.

Don't worry dingdong - I am up to speed on the web options for the Merrell jacket, having googled it swiftly after seeing your on the blog! This is why fashion blogs are so dangerous - I really don't need a new winter coat and I can't really afford one, yet I was seriously considering it for about 10 minutes!!

I have a style blog that shows an outfit of the day. Every morning- I show a before and after picture of my outfit to show what changes to make to add some style to your outfit. It isn't cutting edge fashion at all- and all the clothes are from my closet (and purchased at high street shops), so it's easy to duplicate any looks you like.

I stick to fashion only and never talk about life, books, recipes, decorating or any of my other interests.

Marking place.

I love WIT too, though I find her spelling and grammar hugely frustrating. And - I know she is itallian; but surely you would ask someone to check before going live given that you work in the media and te blog is your calling card...? Anyway. All the big issues...

I love sprinkle of glitter mostly beauty though.

Hi Everydaymom - looking forward to dropping by your blog. I too have one where I post pictures of what I am wearing every day. I also feature other ladies to give a different perspective as well as particularly good pieces that I find in stores when working as a stylist. Please feel free to drop by if you would like to.

Kate I'd be interested to see how you style yourself as the weight comes off (as someone who is finally losing the baby weight too)
So I don't think everyone would be put off by it so please blog away Thanks

I really like does my bum look 40 in this My fave one at the mo. She has exactly the sort of style I like but she is very slim and tall (not to mention gorgeous!) so the clothes will not suit everyone. She has a funny writing style as well.

Just did a search for SAHM style blogs and followed a link to your original question and was thinking ‘oh actually that school gate style blog I used to follow wasn’t tragic’ and then read on and realised it was you 😂 It’s 2019 now and you’re still probably the least tragic out there-that’s a compliment by the way! Bet you don’t look at Mumsnet now though, I had to sign up again to post this 🙈
