To think I can wear what the fuck I like at 47

My (judgmental) mother thinks I ‘shouldn’t’ be wearing dungarees at my hideously old age of 47 🙄 I should also not ever wear a bikini again and should now have transitioned into tankini’s or a one piece. Animal print also apparently not appropriate.

Aibu to think WTF? I feel like I look ok for my age (not that it fucking matters anyway) and that i can wear whatever I want to wear.

I like nice clothes and shock horror I like wearing bikinis too and genuinely give zero fucks what anyone else thinks.

Is it a generational thing? You must transition to m & s stretchy wear by 45?

Look in the mirror if what's reflected back at ya, makes you smile, blow it a kiss and own it.

Best advice ever Smile

A small dash of leopard skin is stylish. 🙂
Nope. Animal prints are not remotely on trend right now and you look a bit, how do I put this delicately, naff, if you wear even a hint of leopard print this season.

I'm sure you've seen the saying. They only thing a woman shouldn't wear once she reaches x age is the weight of other people's expectations and judgement.

This is brilliant - thanks Banana
