How do you transition from boring school mum to trendy 35 year old? Links greatly appreciated, preferably something suitable for DD boobs so v necks always work.

I have found pepperberry.co.uk great for clothes that go over the bust.

I guess what I'm asking is what do trendy 35 year old women wear? And yes trackies do sometimes make an appearance as do 3/4 length black pants sigh.

Beautiful soft chiffon style blouses and a great pair of (full length) black pants are a must. Find the styles that suit you and go crazy with the accessories.

This just-turned-36-year-old mum wears dresses by Leona Edmiston, they're always very flattering. I also like Veronika Maine, Seed Woman and Sussan.

I dress for comfort so i wear a lot of leggings and skinny jeans with long tops which I find slimming. I usually team them with flats or moccasin style slip on shoes.
