Women Over 30 Breaking the Style Rules | #iwillwearwhatilike Days 16-31

Women over 30 breaking the style rules | Not Dressed As Lamb
The end of #iwillwearwhatilike on the last day of August would have been a sad day had it not been for the fact that the campaign lives on! Starting next week, I’ll be the host of the new #iwillwearwhatilike link up – you can read all the details here. Can’t wait to see what fabulous creations you all link up!

In the meantime I wanted to showcase the second half of the amazing ladies that joined in with the campaign with the themes of days 16-31 (you can see days 1-15 here). Everything from rainbow hair to leather trousers, dungarees to short dresses… they’re all there.

Massive thanks again to all the ladies for joining in with this campaign. I’m so sorry I couldn’t fit in everyone – I had to leave out so many great looks – but I’ve included as many different Instagrammers as I could. Do check out the #iwillwearwhatilike hashtag and of course click through to these great accounts and show them some love.

And I’ll see you back here on Monday for the link up, yes…?!!

I only have one item of Abercrombie & Fitch and it is also a mini skirt! Admittedly, I do only wear it on holiday #iwillwearwhatilike @notlamb

Over 40’s shouldn’t wear Furry Anything? Well not today in this heat! Linking @notlamb #iwillwearwhatilike

An #iwillwearwhatilike twofer: my favorite jacket is from American Eagle (maybe I’ve had it for 10 years, but I still wear it!) and ponytails are a woman’s best friend.

Day 24 of the @notlamb #iwillwearwhatilike challenge and we’re challenging the notion that booty shorts are strictly for the under 30s. Pah! Have booty shorts, will wear booty shorts! Especially if it is a 30 degree day as it was a couple of days ago when I wore these to soak up the sun walking in the park. Believe me I wasn’t the only over 30 year old wearing mini shorts – so there! Also going sleeveless and wearing a ponytail and big sunglasses – four rules broken at once! #fashion #instafashion #fbloggers #fashionbloggers #fashionblogger #ootd #wiwt #40plusstyleblogger #40plusstyle #mumstyle #style #personalstyle #instastyle

    Ah I love this so much! Stopping by from #brilliantblogposts I am so getting my scrunchie out I used to love wearing them! I love this empowering post for women my age. Lizzie aged 38 and a half

      And why not get your scrunchie out, Lizzie – there's nothing like being told you CAN'T do something to make us want to do it more, is there…?!! Catherine aged 43 and one sixth

    Great campaign! Why should anyone tell you what you can and can't wear! I'm 33 and I still wear my hair in a ponytail – I didn't even know there was a rule against it. So I'm a rebel that didn't know I was rebelling lol. Does that count? #brillblogposts

      The ponytail was just one I read somewhere, Debbie – the old "hmm should older women wear their hair in a ponytail" question. I think all the leopard print wearing definitely proves a lot of us are breaking rules without knowing it!! Thanks sweetie x

    Thanks for the feature again! I'm so glad #IwillwearwhatIlike lives on! It was too much fun to let go. I'm glad we can link up old posts, since it's not always easy to follow a theme on the spot. I just linked up a colorful outfit I wore last year, as I did not have any recent photos.

    • 20 September 2015 / 12:46 pm

      You can link up anything you like, Amy – old or new, in line with the theme or not… As we're breaking the "rules" I'm not intending to impose more!! x

    Aw, thank you for sharing my long hair! I loved this! xxx

    • 20 September 2015 / 12:45 pm

      My pleasure, lovely Liz!! MUAH to you x

  7. 6 September 2015 / 10:38 am

    I just came across your blog last night and as an over 40 (sewing) blogger myself….I LOVE it! I think I have always tried to wear what I want but this year in particular, I have worn crop tops and two piece bathing suits. Glad to see these ladies all wearing what they love, regardless of age!!!

    • 7 September 2015 / 1:49 pm

      Margo that's fabulous to hear, and welcome – it's nice to e-meet you! Love that you share the same who-cares attitude… Life's too short, I'm sure you'll agree x

  8. 5 September 2015 / 8:44 am

    I'm loving all of these outfits – please keep wearing this kind of stuff – you all look fab!

    • 7 September 2015 / 1:48 pm

      Aww Helen that's really sweet of you, thank you! I'll do my best :))

  9. 5 September 2015 / 8:24 am

    Thank you for sharing my derriere!! I'm going to try my very best to be with you on Monday. A three day migraine has left me more that a little bit behind – see what I did there 🙂
    If I can't manage a new shoot I'll share something, maybe a shot of the new 'explosion in a paint factory' shoes I bought the other day!!
    All the best for Monday.
    Much love
    Michelle xx

      My pleasure, Michelle – but oh no! to the headache…! I know exactly how you feel as I get 3 day headaches too. Don't forget you can link up something old, it doesn't have to be a brand new post. Hope you're feeling better soon x
