How do you stay in style?
Hi! Does anyone have suggestions for how they stay up on fashion trends? I'm a mom in my late 30s. I don't need to be on the cutting edge, but I would like to be at least current and not wearing stuff that's become embarrassingly out of date without realizing it. Are there specific Instagrams or blogs you follow? Any suggestions on how to navigate Pinterest periodically for something like this? When I go on there I feel overwhelmed, but I can't help but feel there would be a way to use it for this purpose. (I have tried Stitch Fix..it wasn't for me).
Thanks!

I like Redbook & Good Housekeeping. Not as square as they used to be, aimed right at middle-aged ladies such as myself, they always have a section on fashion trends.
I like perusing pinterest with things I already own. See how other ladies are wearing them. Like this striped navy & white stretchy pencil skirt i had for a long time. I did a search on pinterest for "navy white striped skirt" and tons of ideas came up.
Also search "classic fashion" or "classic pieces", and you'll get some ideas to start from there.
Being stylish doesn't need to mean it's trendy.
If you are a SAHM or looking for casual clothes, check out the blog The Mom Edit. For workwear, you could check out Corporette, Corporette Moms, Cap Hill Style.
Wow, we must be twin spirits! I've wondered the same. I like Camwimberly1 (from Southern Charm) style so I follow her and then follow the stores she gets some of her cute outfits from ( but she recently announced she is pregnant so there goes that!) I also like the website Big Blonde Hair.
I'll be following this post for more ideas!
OP here: Thanks everyone! I've added all of these suggestions to my Instagram following, I'm looking forward to being inspired! It was also a good reminder to simply follow people I have style crushes on (Victoria Beckham mostly...) hopefully that will inspire me too.
