I don’t do blogs but thatsnotmyage.com/ That’s Not My Age is relatively un-vapid and non-rage inducing. If you click on her Insta account you’ll see plenty of similar endeavours.

Quite honestly, as someone who likes clothes but isn’t interested in other people’s curated lifestyles, I’d rather spend my time browsing actual shops (online) and absorbing the ways they style things.

I don't follow style blogs either but I do follow a couple of stylists on Instagram. My fav is called Stylingyouwell - focus is on sustainability and how to create different looks from stuff you already have in the wardrobe. She also shares places where she shops - no fast fashion.

I follow backofthewardrobe70 and wearsmymoney , thesilverkat and asimplestyle on Instagram, and midlifechic blog is great.

I think youlookfab.com is very good - a stylist in Seattle who really gives details info on shape & style.

Anna Murphy is the fashion editor at the Times and she's brilliant. Middle aged, witty but still looking for the cutting edge. The fashion section is on Wednesdays.

Claire is fantastic
She’s currently doing lots on peri and menopause

Sorry but that Styling You Well stuff is really not my cup of tea. All that yellow!

OP: I'm similar but I'm generally just embracing buying what I love and not caring if it's 'current'.

I'd start with a coat, boots and jeans if I was you.

Just looked at her Insta. Some really good looks.
