Hanging out on Social Media (#mamstyle)

What’s your fave place when it comes to hanging out on social media?

Some folk dig Twitter; others love Linked In.

Or does Facebook get the thumbs up from you?

Maybe you prefer the more visual mediums of Instagram or Pinterest.

Some are silly about SnapChat, or have taken to Tumblr; while others make a fuss about Google Plus.

Although you’ll find me on all of these (except SnapChat and Tumblr, they’re more Miss 20’s thing), the reality is I don’t spend my whole life on social media (although it can feel like it sometimes as I manage Facebook pages for a few local businesses!).

My Favourite Social Media

If I had to pick just one, I would say that Facebook is my favourite.

It seems I’m not alone – look at how popular Facebook is with ALL generations, not just Generation X, when compared to other social media platforms:

The runner up in my book would be Instagram – I particularly like it for finding fashion inspiration, and enjoy sharing my own style – and more than a few cat pics! – there too.

In fact, all this to say: I’ve started using a new hashtag on my style posts: #mamstyle … short for Middle Aged Mama style.

I want to show the world that middle aged women still enjoy fashion. And what fashion from the real world looks like – real women, with real figures, and real budgets (we don’t all have a gazillion to spend on designer labels, in fact #thrifted often suits me just fine!).

If that sounds like you, please join me in proving that midlife isn’t matronly – it’s marvellous! Simply use the hashtag #mamstyle and tag me @middleagedmama on Instagram. I’d love to see your #mamstyle!

Oh, and if we’re not already, I’d love to connect with you on the other social media platforms too – here’s where you will find me:
