I’m 74 years old and became a model at 69 – I dress up everyday, I wear fishnets and look fabulous
DON’T let anyone downplay your dreams – even if you’re in your golden years.
That’s the lesson learned from one very fashionable – and fabulous-looking senior.
A mature model-turned-role-model shows that you can follow your dreams at any age[/caption]“I am 74 and this is how I style my separate sleeves,” explained the Fountain of Youth finding fashionista herself, Colleen Heidemann (@colleen_heidemann).
She started at 69 and now she’s here – a signed model with Next Management.
The mature model strutted up her walkway wearing a long black gown with spaghetti straps and wait for it – fishnet sleeves.
She even gave some attitude-infused poses as she showed off a full face of makeup and a tall head of blonde hair.
The senior runway star also completed her styled look with a red lip and statement earrings.
She’s definitely sexy – and she knows it.
According to the confident Colleen, her secret to staying young is her conviction to never lose her child-like enthusiasm.
Collen – who knows how to put on the charm – also makes it a point to dress up every day – and it never takes her more than 10 minutes to complete her always ravishing runway look.
That’s because the model – and role model – who believes that we should live in the moment – doesn’t like to overcomplicate things.
She simply takes a staple wardrobe piece and adds accessories.
The motivational model has also found her share of fervent fans.
“You are such an inspiration,” remarked one such follower who was left awed by the model’s look – and outlook on life.
“Absolutely brilliant and beautiful! That’s knowing style with class,” was what another watcher took away from Colleen’s runway pose.
Some followers even went so far as to profess their deepest feelings for the fabulous fashionista: “You know I love you.”
