Do You Like This Story?

It’s fashion. But it’s your fashion.

Try this. It’s Mamamia’s Wardrobe Week and it’s a post that’s all about our readers and what you’re wearing. We debuted this post a few weeks ago and the response from commenters, contributors and people keen to have their wardrobe featured has been awesome.

What we love about this post is that it give us a chance to show real people and what they’re wearing – be it to work, to uni, out for coffee or just hanging out at home. We’re loving all the pics being sent in and we’re keen for more – so get snapping!

But in the meantime, let’s check out this week’s gallery.

Mel Martin

Melissa Martin: Mel is a full-time Mum and part-time nanny. She blogs here and is a contributor to online community Connect2Mums.

How would you describe your style? Simple, Practical, comfortable and affordable. I like to wear dresses and skirts so I tend to layer in winter. I also love to wear hats all year round.

Where do you get your inspiration? My Mum. Even though she is not going out to work each day, my mum always looks good. She wears things to suit her age and shape and I try to do the same.

Natalie Tucker

How would you describe your style? My style is ‘whatever I think that my clients may like to see on any given day’, I strive to inspire daily.
Where do you get your inspiration? I get my inspiration from interior design websites and architecture.

Carly Jacobs

Carly Jacobs: Carly is a fashion and lifestyle writer. She writes a blog at smaggle.com and tweets here. You can follow here on Facebook here and on instagram @smaggle.

How would you describe your style? My style is very monochrome. I pretty much only wear black, white, cream, grey, blush, nude and prints in natural colours. I never wear pants, I’m always wearing some kind of accessory and you’ll rarely catch me in primary brights.  I love lipstick, headscarves and bangles. I’m also addicted to shapewear because I loathe the dreaded VPL.

Where do you get your inspiration? My inspiration comes from women like Catherine Baba, Diana Vreeland and Daphne Guinness. Unexpected opulence and glamour, giant accessories and bold shapes. Although I refuse to be uncomfortable. I won’t wear heels if it’s impractical and there’s always a pile of bangles next to my laptop because they drive me mental when I’m trying to write.

Also in the gallery are our previous Wardrobe Week participants. You can find out more about Meaghan Smith, Carly Findlay and Kate O’Bree here, and information on Louise Bell, Danielle Melnyczenko and Georgina Craig here.

If you want to be a part of Wardrobe Week send an email to wardrobeweek@mamamia.com.au with some shots of your daily outfits and a description of what you’re wearing. Your wardrobe doesn’t have to be fancy – trackies and ugg boots are encouraged – just make sure all shots are taken with a uniform background.

    Thanks so much for including plus-size girls!! I have so much trouble finding clothes for my size that don’t make me look much older than I am. I love Danielle Melnyczenko’s outfits, and am now looking up all the brands to see what I can order online!! I’m excited about having found out about these brands I haven’t see before. This will be a much better option than going overseas and raiding H&M like I usually do!!

      I think the outfit with the Country Road singlet and Harem Pants was my personal favourite of Mel’s. Thrift shop find with tags, why does that never happen to me?!

    This is by far my favourite MM regular feature. Loving the girls this week!
    Melissa – your bright colours suit you so much. I especially love the orangy purple pattterned dress.
    Natalie – you have awesome hair, and those distressed jeans look amazing on you.
    And Carly – love your style since way back, and love your name too! ;) That safari skirt was a great thrift store find!

    Good work, gals!! :)

    I think I say this every week :P , but I love to see what people do with recycled fashion, and that they aren’t ashamed to admit it.

    I am looking forward to having some time over summer to take some photos with some awesome jackets I have picked up from Goodwill (the US version of Good Sammies). This is such a disposable society – better for those of us who shop on a budget though! But you would not believe how much good stuff simply gets thrown in the trash here (not even donated) because it’s not needed. My husband rescued a pair of Asics sneakers and Nike skate shoes from the dumpster at our apartments – plenty of life left!

    Anyway, I digress. Keep it up, ladies! :)

    I love these too and am always interested in the choices people make…….sometimes I create a little “experiment” and, while watching people walk past, try to look at them through the eyes of someone in say, – the 1960′s……….what seems to “poke out” (when I do that), is how much more casually people dress and how much looser (generally) their shorts and T-Shirts are……their behaviour is more casual too, their hairstyles are a real mix of genres, and of course teenagers are free to express themselves through their appearance……..women are less “stitched up” and “correct” (my mother used to wear a hat shopping) and of course hem-lengths are anyone’s choice……….My clothing hasn’t changed much from the “70′s” – basic hippy, flowing, no high-heels, long-ish hair, and people often say to me “You never age – you always look the same”…lol.
