I don't know how she did it, but I've always found Crocs to be the most ugly things ever disigned... But now I kinda want the silver ones with the bow... She should definitely be their new model and spokesperson, cause if she can sell me on them she can sell anyone on them... What a truly inspiring and beautifully authentic woman this is, loveee it..... 😂❤

Stay fabulous! By being your most vibrant self you’re giving your world color and energy and dimension. Though you may not always hear it, you are brightening the day of those around you and being yourself gives more shy people the inspiration to step forward as their best selves too

This brings me the most joy. I live in a plain world with plain people so like her I also feel it's my duty to brighten things up... A lot of the time to my demise but I came here for this. She has cemented how important to is to be free. Why do we think someone dancing in the street is abnormal but someone walking with death in their face is normal??? Maybe the drunk people are the boring people.

I'm 47 and just bout my my very first pair of Crocs about a month ago! She's such an inspiration and a confirmation that I am on the right path ! now I have to go to the store cuz I didn't even know they had a such thing as high heel Crocs 😮 I promise you what an inspiration and motivation that I needed to never give and change my corky sexy way to appease others! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Celebrating my eccentric style with no apologies! ❤

I Love every minute of this and I’m less than a minute in. 💚💚💚💚

I completely 100% feel the way you do! I wear what feels good to me and wherever or whenever I want to wear it because If Not Now, When? When I worked out in the corporate world, I used to go home on my lunch break and change my outfit. My mother used to fuss at me ever since I was a little girl because I would change my clothes 3 or 4 times a day. I'm 67 and I play dress up every day. I wear top hats, bold jewelry, mixed patterns, long skirts and dresses, harnesses, handpainted clothing, flowers and I love Overalls...whatever strikes my fancy. I love your style, your attitude, and you're whole vibe. Being "older" doesn't mean being Boring, right? ♥

No lies told here!!! And as for dancing - she ain’t lied! Dancing is LIFE!!

Lady, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your style!!! ❤ I am 54 years-old, but when I grow up, I want to be just like you, stylish!!

LOVE IT... ESPECIALLY how she changed her look at an event sometimes at more than one time. PLUS she is yet another inspiring fashionable elder to me for when I am over 50 because I also plan to be every bit STILL into my style... heels and all.

this woman is my hero! so many nuggets of wisdom

I love her confidence!! Society seems to always want to dictate to women how we should look at every stage of our lives. I love how she defines her look for herself without regard to age and what's trending. At 55 years of age, I have chosen to embrace my silver tresses (and I am solidly gray, not salt and pepper). I am working on my style looks as I do find certain clothing makes me look matronly. However, I am choosing what looks good to me and on my body without regard to what society says I need to do! She is being her authentic self and I striving to do the same! Love her spirit!!❤❤

Woohoo! I’m 56 and just started dressing however I feel in the last few years. Finally feeling like MYSELF! Wish I’d learned this lesson decades ago 😊

You are a shining 🌟 At 54, I feel right at home watching this. You're speaking life into life ❤️
