Instagram's most stylish ladies

Silvia, blogger of 40style has written a great post about middle aged ladies, who are posting on Instagram about their styling ideas. She has made a list of her favorite 40 women with picture and link to their Instagram account.

Reading is a lot of fun and these ladies show that everything in fashion is still possible for women over 40. We are in a very interesting phase of our life and have found our style. However, a little bit of inspiration from likeminded always can help us with new ideas. Instagram is a fast medium, you can open an account very fast and to make comments is rather easy. This is a great advantage versus a blog and therefore I have also opened my own account 40und.
