Lonni Tells Everyone How It Is

“You’re too old to dress like a teenager, just saying.”
In one of her viral videos on TikTok, this amazing woman responded to those people and shut them off about it. She said:
“I don’t respond to comments like this often because truthfully, I don’t care what people think,”
“But, it does stop some people from dressing the way they want to.”
“It puts that seed of doubt in their mind, like ‘Oh my God, are people going to judge me?'”
“So, in honor of, I don’t know, “dressing like a teenager,” here’s my outfit for the day.”
“I have on Hello Kitty Doc Martens, little jeans, a belt, and I French tucked my t-shirt.”
“So, don’t let people like this stop you. Wear what you want. Express yourself, even if people think you look like a teenager.
“Who cares? I take it as a compliment; thank you!”
“Have a great day! Wear what you want!”
