I’ve had a few people say that sharing my age or weight is “for attention.” But the truth is, I share it for the opposite reason — in hopes that it gives someone else permission to feel confident, comfortable, and proud of where they are right now. I'm not afraid of looking my age of 53 or of looking my weight at 170 lbs. I’m not trying to look younger. I’m not trying to be smaller. I’m trying to feel strong, confident, and at home in my body in this season of life. These outfits look good on me not because of a number — not a birthday, not a scale, not a tag — but because I’ve learned how to dress this version of myself. I know what works. I know what doesn’t. And I’ve stopped apologizing for the space I take up. At this age, your body has: • carried children • held grief • known joy • endured stress • adapted, changed, and grown That deserves respect, not judgment. If you’re reading this and thinking, “I wish I looked thinner or younger: please hear this: You don’t need to be younger. You don’t need to be thinner. You don’t need to “fix” yourself. You need clothes that fit your body — not a body that fits the clothes. You need permission to stop chasing an old version of yourself and start celebrating the one standing here today. Aging isn’t something to hide. It’s something we grow into. And confidence? That’s the best thing you can wear at any size, any age, any stage. If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and feeling unseen — you’re not. You’re evolving. And you deserve to feel good every single day. 💛 LTKdayinmylife LTKootd LTKmomlife
