I used to love bum 40...

But her clothes just don't do it for me anymore :( I thought it was a phase, but it's now ages since I thought "wow! I love that look"... It's all a bit too casual and a tad err messy :( she just seems to have gone off the boil for me...

Has her style changed? or it's it something wrong with me? Should I check into Boden/Per Una???

Dry I like her writing style- witty and self deprecating in an engaging way- she makes me laugh too.
It isn't easy for any blogger to engage us and overall she does a good job
Was probably a bit harsh in my previous post and just wanted to vent some frustration, just felt unduly irritated as she has a great figure and the poses (ironic or otherwise) detract from it //smile

TBH, I have fashion blog exhaustion right now and I'm feeling a bit "have seen it all". I still look into Atlantic-Pacific because it's a bit of a fantasy blog for me (as Amber mentioned, given bazillions of clothes so that she can always find the perfect item to combine with other and the best accessories - meanwhile, I have to choose between my five pairs of jeans and seven t-shirts ).

I might go back the path of finding a really, really good personal shopper as I used to do in my country of birth. She knew what I liked and more importantly, what suited me so in half an hour I could do a lot of damage to my credit card!

What's a style blog for ordinary working parents ? Ideally one for dumpy short and curvy people?
Is there such a thing?

Love DMB 40 and her insta stories are almost a daily fix ! Her style is quite similar to mine, I like how she puts things together so I continued to follow her !
Agree it s difficult for a real person to have insanely different outfits everyday so I LOVE the fact she wears her stuff in lots of different ways and colours and seems normal and real and when I m putting on a top I have for 5 years wondering if it s old hat I like to think j can wear it well as a classic piece, I think she does too.

How do you se someone's instant stories? I'm not on imstagram but can see most people's main imstagram accounts but not Insta stories - how do I see them?

[mrsmildred]

You have to use Instagram via the mobile app to see stories.

Interesting to read this thread back, four years ago pp were berating bum40 for posting the same clothes over and over and how it was hard for a blogger to be different with only their own wardrobe.

Nowadays, its her full time job, there's hardly an outfit worn twice, and every single one is sponsored or has been provided by one of her affiliates. How many floral print dresses and skirts does one women need!

But yes, her stories are funny.

Oh I read the first few posts and thought for a minute Noddyholder was back

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Noddy is on Twitter, Flo. Still talking clothes!

[Floisme]

I love DMBL40. A lot of her stuff is way out of my price range, and there are posts I skip completely (designer bags, occasion dresses and so on), but I like her "voice" and have bought quite a few bits after seeing her wearing or recommending them.

I like DMB40 too and also have bought a few of her more affordable clothes despite our figures and heights being polar opposite.

I love DMBL40 she although her clothes aren't my style I like her manic comic nature , she is brilliant
