A 76-year-old woman has defiantly responded to those who advised her to “dress her age” by confidently flaunting a form-fitting swimsuit.
The process of aging is inescapable, and while various methods can be employed to slow down or conceal its effects, time ultimately catches up with everyone.
No one should be subjected to judgment based on age, but unfortunately, Candace Leslie Cima has encountered this negativity as she shares her life on TikTok.
Under the username @lifeinmy70s, Candace’s profile bio reads: “Ageing is Changing. Exercise, Fashion & Lifestyle at 76.”
Candace is undeniably one of the most stylish individuals in their seventies, and her 96,000 followers absolutely adore her videos showcasing her unique fashion sense.
Regrettably, a few trolls manage to infiltrate her videos, leaving unkind comments, including suggestions that Candace should “dress her age,” whatever that means.
Responding defiantly in a video clip last year, Candace quoted a comment that read: “You’re 60, you shouldn’t wear that.”
Accompanied by the caption: “Fashion is for everyone! Reinventing yourself as you age isn’t changing who you are, it just means finding things that work with who you are now,” Candace twirled in front of the camera, dressed in a white sleeveless top and pale blue trousers, before confidently walking away with the text stating: “I’m actually 75.”
People wholeheartedly embraced this clap back, with one person exclaiming: “She slayed and she knows it,” while another added: “I’m shook, you look amazing!”
Despite Candace’s fearless response, it appears that the trolls still failed to grasp the message. In response, the 76-year-old shared a video of herself donning a black figure-hugging swimsuit, effectively silencing the critics.
Striding toward the camera, it becomes incredibly difficult to argue against Candace’s undeniable beauty, and anyone who disagrees is likely just envious.
Titled “Mini Key Largo Vlog,” the TikToker labeled her video, accompanied by the caption: “I have been loving the sunshine here!”
Undoubtedly, the sunshine adores Candace as well, as she appeared to have an incredible time during her vacation, turning heads wherever she went.
One person encapsulated the sentiment of the video eloquently, writing: “You are the definition of aging gracefully. Such an inspiration!”
Frankly, I have no clue what the internet trolls are going on about, because if I look as stunning as Candace when I reach 76, I would be immensely happy.
