If you're early 30s and midsize where do you shop?

I had DD almost 2 years ago and I've been WFH 3 years, I've fallen into a pattern of leggings/dungarees no make up. I just haven't got a clue anymore what suits me or what would suit my age (31).

I live rurally as well so I don't see many people, I feel like this does make a difference with some of the fashions because some stuff you just wouldn't wear on a muddy walk or in a village hall, do you know what I mean?

Really want to feel better about myself when I look in the mirror.

Not wealthy by any means, I get a lot of bits second hand or might shop at H&M/Next/M&S

Please tell me what you wear! I desperately want to be more fashionable

I feel this! I’m 34 but feel like I’ve completely lost my style after kids (4&2).
I really like monki jumpsuits, hush has some nice bits. Love mint velvet. I just feel like style moved on while I was pregnant and breastfeeding and now I don’t know what I’m meant to wear. I’m a size 12 now too so feel a bit big for most things.

Uniqlo is great for basics too. I have been buying myself some nice trainers as they make me feel a bit more fashionable!

I live and work rurally but don’t really let that dictate what I wear! I generally only wear dresses (including on farms for inspections) which mostly come from the M&S x Ghost collaborations, Somerset by Temperley, Oliver Bonas or Nobody’s Child.

I live rurally, 34 but no children. Like @fyn I don’t let living rurally dictate what I wear but I would say I’ve always dressed more classically than fashionably and think I know what works for my shape. I like a good fitting jeans (black and olive green for winter) and some amazing coral jeans in summer. I then match knitwear (currently proper chunky warm knots), something thinner in spring & autumn and fab blouses for spring & summer. I then have some more fun / eccentric / glam outfits for when going out with friends & other half for dinner.

I shop at Reiss, Jigsaw, Oui, Ted Baker & get my basic tops at m&s.
