I’m 51 – people think I’d dress older and dowdier than I do, but mama’s still got it
AGE is just a number, but plenty of people still give up their sense of style as the years tick by.
For one mama in her fifties, the only number that matters is the perfect 10 she registers on the hotness scale.

On her TikTok page, influencer Caroline Baudino (@beingcaroline) posts positive content for women from every walk of life.
In her bio, the mom stated her goal is “Motivating you to look good, feel good, do good, at any age.”
And in a video, Baudino practiced what she preaches, subverting others’ expectations about how women should behave.
Stepping out of her room in a comfy-looking outfit, Baudino threw up her hands in a shrug.
She wore a beanie, an oversize sweater, loose linen pants, and fur-trimmed slides.
The outfit was cute, but laid-back and “safe.” Baudino labeled it “What people think 51 looks like.”
Then, she excused herself back to her bedroom for a quick change.
When she stepped out again, she was a better representation of “What 51 actually looks like.”
With her hat off, viewers could see Baudino’s effortlessly-styled long bob.
Her blowout was brushed back to show off piles of jewelry, including sunglasses covered in gems.
She was still dressed in a casual, cozy outfit, but this one had tailoring and cheeky details.
Baudino wore a sweatshirt with a printed icon in the corner reading “I f***ing love you.”
She tucked it into pleated pants, which were, in turn, tucked into heeled boots.
Her dog looked on in admiration as Baudino posed for the camera.

Satisfied, Baudino strutted off-screen, giving a smirk and flirty wave to the camera. “Mama still got it,” she wrote in the caption.
Her followers were quick to shower her with compliments.
“I think mama always ‘had it,’” one insisted.
Another agreed, writing, “I mean, I think the ‘before’ was cute too.”
A third viewer joined the consensus. “Both outfits fire,” read her verdict.
Fellow women in their fifties thanked Baudino for setting a good example for fashionistas in midlife.
“I’m with you!” one woman exclaimed. She added, “1971 was a great year,” which Baudino happily agreed with.
“YASSSS,” another admirer cheered. “Turned 51 yesterday. Needed this,” she said.
One impressed fan said, “You execute glam chill so well.”
And others were certain that the woman made the clothes, not the other way around.
“Doesn’t matter what you wear with that gorgeous hair and a face like that,” a viewer said. “You’re gonna look good in anything!”
