OVER a certain age, women are expected to dress in a way that’s considered “appropriate” by society.
But one 55-year-old stunner proudly ignores that rule – and she’s happy to ditch her bra while she’s at it.

Fitness coach Maria Woolgar Blacutt shared a “get ready with me” video on TikTok that had fans clamoring to compliment her.
“Warning: I’m 55 and I don’t dress for my age,” she said at the beginning of the clip.
To go to lunch with friends on a warm day, Blacutt assembled a comfy outfit that showed plenty of skin.
“I love my fringe shorts,” she said, holding up the skimpy black denim. “They’re high-waisted and they lift up your booty.”
She paired them with a stylish tie-back top from the brand Dynamite.
The mid-fifties fashionista said she was drawn to a unique, sexy feature.
“It’s completely open in the back,” Blacutt warned. “It’s super, super backless.”
Twirling to show off the result, she couldn’t contain her excitement. “Oh my gosh, take a look!” she said.
Of course, the backless top needed a very specific undergarment setup, but Blacutt was prepared.
“I always wear these stickies to cover my nippies, so I won’t have to wear a bra,” she confessed, holding up a pair of pasties.
Only one part of Blacutt’s outfit gave her any trouble.

The style icon had trouble deciding what footwear was appropriate for her outfit.
First, she tried a pair of platforms with a see-through heel.
“Believe it or not, these shoes are insanely comfortable,” she told viewers.
But once she had on the full ensemble, they just didn’t look “right,” so Blacutt switched to stiletto booties instead.
“Oh yeah, so much better,” she said, seeing herself in the mirror.
Blacutt saved time by putting on a wig instead of styling her hair.
“Just make sure it’s high-quality,” she told followers who may want to use the trick at home.
Finally, she was ready to go, and gave her viewers some parting advice.

“Don’t dress according to your age,” she said. “Dress according to your heart.”
Fans fawned over the 55-year-old, and said she encouraged them to wear what made them happy.
“You look great! I don’t dress for my age either and I don’t care,” a commenter said.
“I wish I could be you,” another wrote wistfully.
“Get it girl! Thank you for the encouragement,” wrote a woman who was inspired by Blacutt’s outfit.
The commenter also dismissed any critics. “People are so judgmental. Box thinkers,” she said.
