MID-RIFF CHIC

Three days after the below image hit the web, I was contacted by H&M who wanted the photos for the instore and their website. Two days later M&S requested as well.

All women have self-doubt, especially in mid-life. Can we bare our arms, are we allowed to show a less than perfect stomach and is above the knee still taboo?

Who made these rules for women? If being menopausal & struggling with midlife confidence wasn’t enough. Hurtful comparisons and terms like ‘Bingo Wings” become personal and hurtful.

Surely at a certain age Women should feel free from the pressure of expectations, there’s no limit on how high we can fly. Sometimes our own self doubt holds us back.
