I am looking for some Instagram accounts or blogs (or...Facebook groups? not sure what is out there) to follow for style/outfit inspiration. I've been a stay at home mom in the suburban midwest US for several years, which means I dress in jeans, yoga pants, t-shirts I got for free from my kid's school, maternity tops I'm still wearing a couple years postpartum...you get the picture. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd like to start getting a little more intentional about what I wear, coinciding with an upcoming move to another country (the UK), new environment (medium-sized city), and hopefully a return to work in the next couple years. It seems like a great time to update my wardrobe, but I have NO clue what's out there and I'd like to check out some sources to...get inspired!
Ideally I'm looking for accounts that meet many or all of these criteria:
- "real" people (not celebrities or models)
- mid-30's or older
- female-presenting
- living in cities where you have to walk a lot
- practical, down-to-earth style (I know this is subjective, but I mean people who aren't wearing stilettos every day and taking an hour to do their makeup)
- moms who have young kids at home (not vital, but that's the situation I'm in)
- average to plus size (I wear a US size 16-18)
I'd be happy to follow people who post their outfits, accounts that take pictures of other people, hashtags that people use, general this-looks-good advice...but I am really looking for image-focused, easy to read content rather than deep-dives into The Fashion World or anything like that. I'm being vague about the actual "style" I like because, I'm not sure what I like! But hopefully this will help me figure it out.
Does this exist? If so, hook a tired yet optimistic mom up!
