I’m over 40 – people tell me I’m ‘way too old’ to wear crop tops but I’m going to rock them
A WOMAN over 40 has been told that she looks ‘way too old’ in a blouse but she says that’s not going to stop her from wearing what she wants.
The content creator said that she’ll continue to rock crop tops.

Robin (@bougeeandbroke) shared the video with over 18,000 TikTok followers.
A troll insulted the fashion influencer for the white blouse she wore: “You’re way too old to wear shirts that short ugh,” they said.
The brunette took her time responding: “Listen 20-something-year-old, when you turn 50, you can go to Chico’s or Talbots or Lane Bryant’s or whatever, and you can wear tunic top with your capri pants,” she said.
“You’ll fit right in, but me? I’m going to rock the crop top any time I want with no thought as to what you think about it.”
She gave a little spin in her outfit, waving adios to the hater: “Bye!” she said.
“To each her own!! Stay in your own lane,” she said, adding the hashtag #fashionover40.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts.
Some thought the crop top was perfectly acceptable: “The fact that people think a crop top is more appropriate for an underage teen than a grown woman,” said one commenter.
Others related hard: “OMGEEE. I’m Gonna be 55 in August, and I wear whatever I want. Feel exactly the same!” said one.
Many thought she looked more than good enough to be able to rock the garment.
“They will be lucky if they look like you when they’re in their 50s lol,” said one commenter.
“50 is not what it used to be. Let’s rock them tops ladies!”
“I’ll be 50 next month. If I still had your flat stomach I would rock crop tops too!!!” said another.

A man has shared his go-to chemical-free way to get rid of weeds[/caption]
“Here’s some tips that your landscapers don’t want you to know to get rid of weeds,” Collin (@bluemelonco) began in a TikTok video.
“First boil some water. Then, take your boiling pot of water and just pour it directly on the weeds,” he explained.
He demonstrated by letting the piping hot water flow onto the weeds.
He added that the tip is chemical-free and pet friendly.
“Instantly kills weeds without chemicals down to the roots and seeds. Plants hate hot water. The extreme temperature is too much for weeds,” Collin explained in the caption.
He added in the comments section of the clip that the boiling water method would make weeds stay away for about a month.
Someone in the comments chimed in with a tip of their own for more efficiency.
“Just the roots. And go low while pouring. Less heat loss,” they wrote.
Another person expressed their preference for natural methods.
“Love nontoxic!!” they exclaimed.
And someone else shared their opposing preference for chemical killers.
“I use chem, it’s better at killing everything,” they said.
To which Collin cautioned: “Yeah but it can cause other stuff to not grow.”

I’m 52 and thought I was too old for zits – but squeezing it led to the discovery I had cancer
A woman who thought she just had a pimple on her nose has been diagnosed with skin cancer.
Michelle Davis, 52, spotted the red bump in April 2022 and thought it was just a spot until it became “really sore,” she said.
Michelle Davis, 52, thought a bump that appeared on the tip of her nose was nothing more than a stubborn pimple[/caption]
But after she went to a doctor to have it addressed, Davis was told the bump was skin cancer and that she would have to undergo surgery[/caption]
The pimple would flare up and down, she said, but Davis went to see a doctor after she squeezed it and it wouldn’t stop bleeding.
The doctor immediately thought it was cancer.
Following a biopsy, Davis was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma – a common form of skin cancer.
She underwent surgery to cut the cancer out and had the skin of her nose stretched to cover the remaining hole.
Now, Davis is recovering from the surgery and won’t need further treatment.
The account manager, from Orewa, New Zealand, said: “I thought ‘what am I doing getting a pimple at 52’.
“It will go away – I kept telling myself.
“It would flare up and go back down.
“I remember squeezing it and nothing coming out.
“Then it bled and bled and bled – for like a week.
“I was in shock when I found out. I had never heard of basal cell carcinoma.”
Davis first spotted the “pimple” a year ago and would spent time covering it up with concealer.
“It was really hard,” she said.
“Like a volcano under the skin.
“I went walking with my girlfriend and it went purple and she pointed it out.
“I said ‘it’s just a pimple.’
“I was in denial.”
Davis said the spot became “really sore” by January and she tried to squeeze it.
She said: “Nothing happened.
“Then it bled and bled.
“I thought ‘that’s not normal.’”
Davis went to her doctor in February and was told it looked like skin cancer.
A biopsy confirmed she had basal cell carcinoma and she was told she would need surgery to remove the cancer.
Last month, Davis underwent a nasal flap reconstruction at Ormiston Hospital in to remove the cancer and pull the nose skin over the hole.
She said: “They cut up my nose in a zig zag. They cut out a crater. There was a hole in the end of my nose.
“They then bring the skin down to cover it.”
Davis was left with scaring and different shaped nostrils but said it is healing well.
She said: “It’s still healing.
“My nostrils are different shapes because they stretched the skin.
“The scar tissue is hard. The nerves are numb.
“Some people end up losing their nose so thank goodness.”
Davis will be monitored once a year as she said she can be more prone to skin cancer now she has had it once.
She wants to raise awareness of the symptoms so other people can go get it checked out.
“If I’d kept ignoring it, it would have got way bigger.
“I might have got to the stage where they couldn’t cut it out.
“I honestly thought it was a pimple.
“I thought skin cancer was a mole.
“Skin block wasn’t a thing when I was growing up.
“Now it’s in my day to day skin care.”
Davis has had her stitches out and is now looking after her skin and upping her collagen in take to help with scarring.
She said: “At first I thought I’m 52 and single, now I’m going to have this hideous nose.
“But it’s been quite empowering.
“It’s only skin deep. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.”
During the procedure, Davis had a piece of skin stretched over the hole in her nose after the cancer was removed[/caption]
These days, Davis said she makes sure to apply sunscreen every single day to avoid another skin cancer scare[/caption]

In a new interview, Diego Luna talked extensively about his experience on Star Wars sets. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Luna shared his thoughts on Andor and his character’s journey and the intensity of the filming process.
“I always had a feeling that this wasn’t gonna see the light [of day] till it did. I kept going, ‘This is too perfect. This is working,'” Luna said. “So everything just kept getting better and better, and I always had the feeling that something had to go wrong. But it didn’t. We had the freedom and the support of Disney and Lucas[film]. We had the confidence of Kathy [Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm] behind the show.”
