Hi.
I am 37 y/o frumpy mum of 3 finally getting my shit together!
I have lost weight, stopped drinking, started getting my eyebrows and nails done and im looking halfway decent for the first time in years.
I need help with the clothes though and I don't know where to start for inspo.
I am 5'10 size 16, and shrinking I look younger than I am I think. I'm roundish shaped, carry the weight on my belly and thighs and have no idea how to dress.
I see lots of fashion reels etc but none really fit me. They are either too young, short, much larger ladies etc. I love watching them but id love to find one shaped like me that I can copy.
Any recommendations?

Thank you! 😊

Hey! There's a lovely lady called Emily, stylemehappy on insta that's very relatable and is a personal stylist. She also has a Facebook group where others share pics etc. Just thought I'd recommend 🤩

I follow doesmybumlook40. Kat Farmer.
She's fab, funny and very real. She's 5ft 10 (as am I) wears a lot of H&M, M&S, Cos.

jessieminto · 23/01/2023 18:53

I only follow one. I'm not much in to fashion but this lady is a bit younger than me, similar figure and her clothes are very much my work style.

dress loving mama

She's on holiday at the moment though, not her usual posts and I am so insanely jealous.

hellololabells2019 · 23/01/2023 19:00

Wearsmymoney! She has a great blog every week. I'm the same age as you with numerous kids and find her style advice relatable. Also like Kat Farmer.

Redhop · 23/01/2023 20:15

Thank you! I'm following all of those now, will have a scroll through and start saving for a new wardrobe 😁

I really like Erica Davies.

FANTINE2 · 23/01/2023 20:45

Kat Farmer definitely no longer wears H&M and the like. It’s all designer now. Last seen with a Birkin!!
These days she will flog anything👎

WineIsMyCarb · 23/01/2023 20:48

I'm similar to you OP and I follow a few accounts linked to the hastag #midsized
and similar. Also the m&s accounts

Jumbojem · 23/01/2023 20:55

Emily Innes, style me happy, she's size 18 and I think tall (but can't actually remember!). Lots of bright colours, she's lovely and genuinely wants to help, not hundreds of ads.
Yes yes, Erica Davies, another of the rare genuine ones on Insta. Her style is not really my taste though, a lot of voluminous midi dresses which are entirely impractical for someone who lives in a village and rarely sets foot in a city. She does do weekly roundups though.
Used to follow kat Farmer but she's the epitome of the Insta account which is shamelessly trying to flog anything she's paid to, does ads for all sorts and you just know she doesn't wear anything high street day to day. Everything is accessorised with one of her many designer bags/sunglasses and photographed in her large Surrey home, so hugely unrelatable.

She's always in H&M knitwear and did an M&S changing room thing this weekend.
(I notice the H&M knitwear so much because Kat's jumpers look great but every time I look in H&M it all looks like a jumble sale)

Her M&S changing room thing is because she has a paid partnership with them. You would never see her in any of those clothes nowadays. She's all about the ££££ both in terms of flogging and spending on her many obscenely expensive handbags,

AncoraAmarena · 24/01/2023 12:48

Sorry, forgot to answer the OP - have a look at Caroline (fabfatand40plus); she's sice 18/20 and about 5 ft 10 in I think. Or as another poster said, search keywords as a hashtag.

LesLavandes · 24/01/2023 15:24

Trinny is great

LesLavandes · 24/01/2023 15:26

Doesmybumlook40 has become really annoying. I agree with whoever said she'll promote anything for money

MsJuniper · 24/01/2023 18:51

I like mama loves leopard, stealmystyle40, 40notfrumpy and ladyofthemanor77. Very different styles but seem nice people.

I love "wearsmymoney" on Instagram she has a weekly.blog aswell, which has tons of ideas. Even tho she recomends the more expensive end of the High Street you can easily find similar in h&m m&s etc but still go for the same looks that she puts together ❤️

Tralahlah · 29/01/2023 23:09

Wearsmymoney and Jenny Sue Garcia are my faves. Very down to earth and always well put together. I abandoned Sarah Corbett Winder because she is just too Bodeney and all that head bobbling when she strutts about was getting on my nerves.

Holidayhomehell · 30/01/2023 00:12

fabfatand40plus is great

Bankofrave · 30/01/2023 20:03

Fran from thefashionlift has amazing style and does some brilliant high street changing room try ons
i always think she looks amazing. Mid 40s very slim but not unachievable clothing
