When Lyn Slater started her fashion blog, Accidental Icon, at age sixty-one, she discovered that followers were flocking to her account for more than just her A-list style. As Lyn flaunted gray hair, wrinkles, and a megadose of self-acceptance, they found in her an alternative model of older life: someone who defied the stereotypes, refused to become invisible, and showed that all women have the opportunity to be relevant and take major risks at any stage of their life. Youth is not the only time we can be experimental. How to Be Old tells the ten-year story of Lyn’s sixties.

With her characteristic optimism and forward-thinking, 'rules are meant to be broken' philosophy, Lyn Slater teaches us How to Be Old in a youth-obsessed world. Slater offers the possibility that - even with all its challenges - being old is just like any other new beginning in your life. Not only can it be done successfully, but it can be the best and most fun of any new life chapter. Including advice on everything from fashion to social life, work and where to live, How to be Old will empower you.
