There are many lists of favorite over-40 women on Instagram and they regularly focus on their outfits and personal style. Since Instagram added Stories, it's a peek into the everyday and mindset of individuals and one of my favorite aspects of the app. I love getting to know the person behind the outfits or the pretty photos in their feed. Instagram Stories expire after 24 hours, this feature lets people be more relaxed, less polished, more real. I find Instagram Stories more inspiring, seeing women killing it with their jobs, figuring out how to balance work and life, sharing their thought process behind their wardrobe, their workouts, their meals, and even their piles of laundry. The Instagram feed is for the curated, the Stories are for what it took to get to that chic curation. These over-40 women on Instagram continue to inspire and entertain me with their Instagram Stories:
My Favorite Over 40 Women on Instagram
While I have been a fan of Carelia's amazing style for years, her Instagram Stories are what made me want to move to North Carolina and be her BFF. Carelia's motto for life is #DRESSFUN but her Stories show she also believes one should #LIVEFUN. She shares her workouts, her cooking (great for those who are gluten free but want creative and flavorful dishes), dates with her adorable husband, and deep dives into her closet and how she keeps it small yet so colorful and creative. Carelia really dives into the why for her wardrobe, why she chooses to buy certain brands, certain colors or silhouettes; why she removes certain items; why she added certain items to her to-buy list. It's a great way to learn how to curate one's own wardrobe.

Dina isn't an influencer, so I felt a bit weird sharing her here. Many moons ago she was a blogger but moved to the business side to help companies look good and has worked with some of the chicest brands out there. She has a great eye, and her Stories are full of shots from her life in NYC and her trips to places like Istanbul and Tulum. If you like cats, cooking, politics, skincare, and fabulous shoes, you'll likely love Dina as much as I do.
She's gorgeous, she's fashionable, she's a model and a world traveler. Grece's Stories are almost as beautiful as her feed, but I love how you see her life from her perspective. From shots from photo shoots to her life in Montreal, Grece gives you an inside view into her daily life. I must say her workouts are my favorite, as a previous personal trainer she has great form and in her Stories you can see the technique and she often shares how many reps, the weight she's using, and more. Grece and her equally stylish daughter Cheyenne travel together often and Cheyenne is often the person behind the camera, capturing Grece at events and in the gym. Grece proves age is but a number and you can be fit, fashionable, and fabulous at any age.
