I really am in a rut. And never seem to have the right clothes for the right occasion! Anyone got any ideas of any style blogs to find some inspiration? I need outfits for days that I'm with the toddler. Work outfits ( have two pairs of amazing uniqlo trousers) so things that go with that! A casual day dress and boot combo. Am 30 and a size 12. This shouldn't be so difficult!

I like extrapetite.com

I've had a look. Looks good. I just seem to have lost any sense of what I actually like anymore. Bit depressing really!

Anyone else? I've just been browsing online for over an hour and nothing!

Try YouTube. I always watch when people do hauls they always say like oh I'd wear with this or team with this etc

I search my fave shops then haul

E.g. Zara haul 2017

Sometimes it's funny sometimes they are really good outfits. It's nice to see what stuff look like in real life aswell instead of on the website.

Gahmylife - have you just come out of maternity leave / having a baby? I felt the same. Apologies if that's not the case but wanted to let you know you're not alone in this feeling!

My little one is 14 months, but I had a dreadful pregnancy, so spent nine months this wearing gym kit! I just feel like I never have the right clothes, so buy some, but then they are not right either!

Do you have pinterest? That's where i get a lot of inspo from. Instagram is also good, a lot of 'mum' fashion/style accounts.

Start with Valeria Lipovestsky. 27 mom of 2, lives in Canada is a model. Does highstreet hauls on YT

Gah when my son was about that age, I once went into work wearing my pyjama top and didn't even notice until lunch time. My mojo came back and I'm sure yours will too.

I can't help much with bloggers as I sacked the lot of them. I got tired of all the undisclosed PR and also bored with seeing the same stuff all the time. I now just watch people instead. Wherever I am, whether it's in the supermarket, the coffee shop or at work, I look out for people wearing stuff I like - not necessarily a whole outfit but e.g. just a different way of doing hair or (more recently) how to wear cropped trousers without freezing your ankles off.

I don't live anywhere fashionable either but I've picked up all kinds of ideas and tips from all kinds of people.

I like Emma Hill's blog. She wears quite simple, minimal smart-casual clothes. Mainly high street with some designer (but she usually recommends similar high street versions). She doesn't take herself too seriously, which I like. I follow her on instagram too and she provides links to the clothes she is wearing.
