74-year-old woman refuses to dress according to her age: "I only wear what I want to wear"
Passing judgment on others is still commonplace in modern times. Of course, positive judgments and opinions are welcome, but negative ones can really hurt. One of the most judged and "talked about" aspects concerns the appearance of others: how one presents oneself on a physical level and how one dresses are some of the more common aspects that come under scrutiny by others.
This story is about an elderly woman who shrugged off a flood of criticism for the way she dresses. Read on to find out more:
This woman's name is Colleen Heidemann and she is 74 years old. Colleen has more than 300,000 followers on her social network account and what made her so popular are the images and videos that show her wearing her outfits.
"Don't let others define you for you. We elderly women are strong and unique, we are not invisible. I dress exactly as I want to and the way I feel": this is the life philosophy that Colleen promotes. And there's more!
The retired former flight attendant also started a fruitful career as a model when she turned 70! So, what do others think about Colleen and the way she presents herself?
Many have defined her looks too "bold", even when she's not modelling. But many of Colleen's followers have been inspired by this elegant woman.
"You have an ageless charm"; "I really admire you for your courage"; "You are gorgeous! Like you, I have no intention of dressing as society would like me to: I will continue to wear whatever I want, just like you do!" These are just some of the supportive comments Colleen received.
What's you opinion on this story? Do you believe there is any merit to those who say Colleen should dress appropriately for her age?
