THE days when aging meant elasticated pants, sensible shoes, and voluminous cardigans are over, says one 63-year-old woman.
As far as she is concerned, these are her golden years, and she will wear the short shorts to prove it.
Robin (@robnnest) is emphatic when she says she will not let age define her.
Her cool elegance and understated allure are a far cry from stilted images of women in their sixth decade.
This lady isn’t hiding her age, instead, she is “embracing my 60s.”
Robin views aging in a life-affirming way in her post: “Positive aging,” she said. “Redefining 63.”
She wants to shake up the accepted – but dated view – of women in her age group.
“My battle cry is, ‘don’t let age define you.’ [Let] you define how you age.”
You’re either out or in when it comes to this social movement.
“There’s an entirely different generation changing the narrative on aging these days and I’m in,” she said.
Short skirts, bikinis, tight jeans and long hair are all part of her look, and that’s just the way she likes it.
She has every intention of staying this way well into her seventh decade.
“I hope to stay happy and healthy into my 70s,” she said with customary defiance.
“Don’t let your age change you, change the way you age.”
There was much to celebrate, she figured in another post: “Cheers to the golden years.”
Commenters were universally admiring of this 63-year-old.
“Wow I don’t believe it you look like you’re 40,” said one person.
Another said she just got better: “Omg, like fine wine, you have done it so well.”
While another summed up his view simply: “Absolutely beautiful.”
