I’m a cougar in my 40s – people tell me to ‘dress my age’ but I want to live my life to the fullest
A WOMAN accused of not dressing appropriately is weary of the ‘fashion police’.
Her retort to their jibes is to carry on dressing her way and certainly no one else’s.
Social media influencer Miss Cinky (@misscinky) has over 117k followers and they are lapping up her age-defiant message.
On her platform, she announces herself proudly as: “Cougar Tok, over 40 and fun.”
Her latest post sees her wearing a tight floral, thigh-skimming, cleavage-plunging dress, and raven locks swinging down to her waist.
Emblazoned across her post is a comment that was thrown at her and that she is tackling head-on.
“Why don’t you dress your age?” it said.
If she is cowed by dated views like these, she is not showing it.
Instead, she comes up fighting, asserting her right to dress just how she wants.
“It’s my life,” she says, “and I want to live my life to the fullest.”
She is a long way from comfortable clothes so closely associated with middle age, such as baggy sweaters and loose trousers.
“I mean, but why would I want to,” she says when considering what some detractors say she should be wearing.
Her followers loved her confident, unswayable attitude.
“Sexy as always. Stay you Mona,” said one fan.
Why dress like your age said another: “You dress just fine. What do people want you to dress in granny clothes?”
Stay true to yourself was the view of this follower: “Be who you want to be. Not what others expect you to be.”
She’s lucky she can wear such clothing said this viewer: “With that body, you can wear everything.”
Finally, wise words from this fan: “Always be you. You are the only one that you have to make happy.”
