Who can I follow for style ideas on Pinterest?

SaladIsMyFriend · 23/02/2013 20:44

To cut a long story short - I have lost a load of weight, don't have a clue how to dress now I am slimmer (at 42) then I have been since I was a teenager, and am loving Pinterest since someone here on S&B suggested it for style ideas.

Have pinned a few style pics for inspiration, mostly ones I have found of Olivia Palermo at the moment Blush but am hoping some of you very stylish ladies have ideas who I can follow on Pinterest, or where I can steal ideas from?

Thanks in advance Thanks

You're welcome to follow me here's one of my boards - you can find lots more boards by checking where things have been pinned from.

Another good way is to pick an item in your wardrobe and searching it to see how it's being worn e.g. Boyfriend jeans, blazer etc

Yep, here's a random pin feel free to follow as you like.

Hi OP, this is my board. I love Olivia Palermo's style, so we might have similar taste.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/02/2013 13:32

Mine I'm 43 and size 12, plus a shortarse. I just pin things I like and some of it is a bit bonkers and other stuff is fairly boring.

Some of the mners from MNvogue threAds have lovely boards. The poster who has a blog, and likes apc comes to mind...sadly I cannot rememebr her mnname at present Blush

Thank you so much all - I will have a look at your boards and see where they lead me tonight when DD is in bed! I only started pinning a few things to my fledgling style board a couple of days ago and some have been repinned already, I don't know how anyone even knows I am there!

And yes I do have a rather inappropriately age-gapped crush on Olivia Palermo, but she dresses so well (and how I long for her hair too)!

Thank you so much all, you may find me following you soon Wink

Thanks

OK was too excited so didn't wait til tonight and have a quick look already, have found a few bits on your boards and am now following a couple of you, thank you again so much.

Now I need to go out and get myself a stripey dress - sweater for winter, t-shirt for summer!

Sorry to crash thread but I love this jumper dress combo on one of the boards, how do I find out where the clothes are from?

shopafrolic · 24/02/2013 21:07

Hi Speedo if someone has pinned the image from the store website then you an click through by clicking on the image. Unfortunately, that pic wasn't pinned from a retail site so nothing to do but hunt around on google I think?!

I'm in my 40s pinterest.com/Drywhiteplease/ although a lot of the pins I follow aren't

Bluelightsandsirens · 24/02/2013 21:29

I feel like I've entered a different world, what is Pinterest?

Can I just join or do I need an invite, I'm not a tweeter or on FB so not great but I do live clothes and buying bargains for work wear.

I receive compliments about clothes I've purchased from George matched with Coast Smile

SaladIsMyFriend · 24/02/2013 21:52

I am not on FB or a tweeter either, but Pinterest is pretty addictive - like an online scrapbook where you can "pin" ideas. I started mine when trying to get ideas for decorating our house, then someone on S&B suggested it for style inspiration as well.

I am here if you want to snoop around - you can just sign yourself up and start pinning, it's free. Not my real name btw!

Nope - I'm not on FB or Twitter either. You don't need an invitation and it's fairly idiot-proof.

Bluelightsandsirens · 24/02/2013 22:07

Thank you, all the boards look great but salad I really like your style I'm going to start my own board... Smile

Sorry I can't help with your question though.

SaladIsMyFriend · 24/02/2013 22:12

It is idiot-proof indeed as I can use it Wink

My style board was titchy and crap, it has grown thanks to this thread Thanks

Now I just needs loads of money to buy all these new clothes!
