A grey hair and some wrinkles here and there might make some people panic. A lot of us don’t take kindly to the idea of getting older. Being young and full of vigor is way too nice, isn’t it?
But what can you do about getting older? It’s going to happen whether you like it or not.
Meet Candace Leslie Cima. She’s 76 and is just as stylish as any younger woman.
Candace is many things. She’s a mother, grandmother, a model, a businesswoman, and an artist. At the age she is, she’s seen and experienced a lot.
One thing she never understood was the stigma of aging.
Everywhere you might look nowadays, there always seems to be some product ad telling you that wrinkles and grey hairs are gross.
But Candace never saw them that way. In her own words:
“I have always had a fascination with aging even when I was in my 20s and 30s never understanding how something so natural could have a negative connotation.”
And she can more than prove it with her look.
There’s no denying the wrinkles on her face and the pores on her skin. Candace embraces them and looks gorgeous doing so.
On her Instagram account, you can see her modeling all kinds of clothes and looking stunning in all of them.
Candace is a godsend to people in her age bracket who want to buy clothes. They aren’t well-represented by models.
Now that they can see how a woman her age rocks them, it’ll make a huge difference when they go shopping.
Even sundresses, which we associate with grandmas, have a whole new look when Candace wears them with confidence.
As she put it herself “Aging is changing.” Gone are the days when hitting 40, 50, or even 60 to 70 was something worth stressing over.
Your mind also plays a big part in it.
“Dress your age” can mean something very different to a lot of people and Candace demonstrated as much.
“We are not our mothers or our grandmothers. We now have the chance to be productive, intelligent, compassionate, stylish woman throughout our later years.”
She’s dead-on.
Her confidence and her philosophy has gotten her much more than just likes and followers.
She’s also received complimentary gifts from designers and brands.
In one post, she tried on a “liquid leather” top from Clara Sunwoo. The brand sent it to her with no obligation to post a review. That’s not a deal you just get unless you have the charisma she has!
Something you might have also noticed is her choice of music for many of her videos.
They’re all classic radio songs from the 1940’s and 50’s. She grew up hearing her parents listen to those songs, and she’s not afraid to admit that she remembers them!
Has she convinced you yet that aging is changing? Still feel bad about your grey hairs and wrinkles? Maybe visit her social media and you’ll look at it differently.
