Hi guys! Looking for some recommendations on stores (preferably more on the sustainable side rather than fast fashion) to shop for cute clothes (fun blouses, dresses, etc). I’m a nanny so my day to day clothes are leggings and T-shirts most of the time. I’m looking to up my style a little bit so I don’t feel like an ogre on a daily basis lol
I’m soon turning 30 and over the past year I feel like I’ve matured so much and I’m living a great phase within myself, but I feel like my style doesn’t really show that. I’m still very much caught on wearing jeans and basic cropped shirts and sometimes I even cringe at myself because that feels very juvenile and not like myself. I have lost some weight too so the clothes I have feel very baggy and every time I wear my “going out clothes” I feel sloppy and kinda raggedy. So I’m also looking for some tips on how to dress appropriately for my body shape. What are some tools that would be helpful?
Please help a girl out trying to figure out her style to kick off the 30s with better self steam and style. Thanks!!

I shop a lot on secondhand retailers online (mostly eBay) but I also have a body type that clothes usually fit well even without trying them on. I will shop for fabric and color usually (like “pink silk blouse size 6” and see what comes up) or brand (“Free People dress size 6”). Brands I’ve been specifically looking out for recently include Banana Republic, Anthropologie, Free People, Quince, Marcella NYC and Modern Citizen, but that’s based on my personal style.
Are you looking to upgrade your everyday work style or get more cute/”going out” options? I worked in daycare before and if I were to work with kids again, I’d probably wear a lot of jumpsuits/coveralls/overalls because that’s a good synthesis of my personal style and the needs of moving around and getting messy.
