looking for style inspiration but from people who have my lifestyle (not wearing DVF dresses and endless gucci belts, golden goose trainers etc), aren't 40+ and wear normal things that can be worn when running after children who are small.

can any recommend people for me to follow?

Look at 40plusnotgivingupyet

skippy67 · 11/08/2018 19:20

OP isn't interested in anything anyone 40 plus has to say about fashion...
I agree with you though Pringle, she's fab!

flutteryleaves · 11/08/2018 19:31

i am skippy, course i am but 35-40 is my age group - obviously not a huge difference but i wanted to see what other real women my age wear who are more creative and interested in style.

i spend a lot of time at the park or carrying a small child with ice cream hands and going out on bikes/scooters at local nature reserve which has a lovely cafe, so billowing dresses and jumpsuits aren't on my radar.

i had a look at your suggestion pringle that lady has great everyday style. thanks

There is a midsizecollective account that focuses on 12-14 they repost from many different accounts so you may find a few you like 🙂

#dresslikeamum has started to get on my nerves for some unexplainable reason, I’ve unfollowed her! #smugface springs to mind, she’s become too much of the instaratti squad - I think that she’s lost her authenticity.

I follow
#andgetitdressed (women of ALL shapes and sizes featured)
#mothershoppers
#thefashioncraver

But picked up some new ones on this thread to check out too!

Annabelle4 · 12/08/2018 07:51

I didn't know #dresslikeamum was a person, it's just a # I click on and see what all the mums that day are wearing Smile

ToBeClear · 12/08/2018 08:18

Yes but lots of women use the hashtag too as you mention. #fridayfeet will also help you find people.

AnnaT45 · 12/08/2018 08:22

She's prob only late 20s but Hannah Gale is a nice one to follow. She does frequent round ups on her stories of things new in or gives it a theme like bras for big boobs etc. Maybe worth a look

checkedcloth · 12/08/2018 12:23

Dresslikeamum is one long non disclosed ad and lots of grabby asks for free stuff. Also dresses like a children’s TV presenter too

CurlyTwirlyTwos · 12/08/2018 16:18

Apologies - change of of the # for @ on my previous post!

Totally agree with checkedcloth on @dresslikeamum

Kaz2200 · 12/08/2018 19:06

Can I ask for any recommendation for size 14plus who are UK based on a budget.

Unobtainable · 12/08/2018 19:28

lovestyle40 is a good one. she’s a 12/14 and your age bracket. More pretty than cool though so may not be your style. What sort of thing do you like and whose style do you admire?

AncoraAmarena · 12/08/2018 20:10

@iman80s_lady is fab to watch/listen to on stories. Very likeable and down to earth.

flutteryleaves · 12/08/2018 21:47

thanks for ideas. i like:
hanlouisestyle
elizaseveryday
bretonsandbluejeans
wishiwashparisien
allthestripes

i like jeans, clean shapes, nothing too edgy, the odd fancy designer accessory and real style not a floaty, frilly dress to wear on school run to only have to change when i get back as sleeves get in way of emptying bins Grin.

Anyone else spring to mind?
thanks
