Dear Millennials: Don’t Even Think About Telling Me What to Do!
I’ve hit my 40s, and I’m surrounded by teenagers. Honestly, I’m getting a bit tired of hearing young folks on the internet telling me how to live my life.
Recently, I stumbled upon yet another one of those clickbait slideshows titled “Things Women Should Avoid After 30.” One of the rules? Ditch the big hoop earrings.
My response? A cheeky salute to the screen. Seriously, who do you think you are telling me I’m too old for hoops? I’ve adored hoop earrings my entire life, and I just bought a fabulous pair of shoulder-dusting silver ones. My inner free spirit embraces the gypsy vibe—hoops, bangles, and all!
And yet, some young woman who thinks she’s got it all figured out is trying to dictate my wardrobe choices? No way!
The truth is, it’s my age that has empowered me to stop caring about what society deems acceptable for me. I got my first tattoo at 40, and this year I dyed my hair a stunning teal. You know what? It looks amazing. My favorite footwear? A trusty pair of Doc Martens. I dare any zoomer, probably younger than my oldest pair of skivvies, to tell me I can’t rock them anymore.
You know what women really shouldn’t do after hitting 30? They shouldn’t police each other over fashion choices. They shouldn’t accept the nonsense society throws their way. They shouldn’t stifle their true selves to conform to outdated norms. They shouldn’t listen to anyone claiming, “You can’t do that.” And they definitely shouldn’t let some stranger with less life experience push them into a corner.
How are we meant to inspire our daughters to pursue their dreams if we buckle under the pressure of online toddlers dictating our fashion? Nope. I reject any so-called standard of how a woman over 30 should dress, act, or express herself. I’ve never been one to succumb to peer pressure, not in my 20s, and even less so now.
Now listen, darling, here’s the deal: You’ve got to live through my experiences before you tell me what to do. Survive to my age, then you can set your own rules. Meanwhile, I’ll wear whatever I please, from skirts to my old Converse sneakers.
And for the record, guess who loves my teal hair the most? Young women under 30. They’re not buying into this nonsense either.
