FUN and 50 are two words that very much go together for this 56-year-old.
She still loves to wear leather mini skirts to brunch on freezing cold winter days.
Thanks to some magic leggings – that looked like tights – she still looks fabulous and cozy.
Maria Blacutt (@strongmaria), who has 207,000 followers, was full of enthusiasm for them.
“I inspire people over 50 to be confident, strong, and a little crazy,” reads her TikTok bio.
In this post, Maria Blacutt was getting dressed for a lunch date: “Get ready with me.”

It was chilly outside but she didn’t want that to change her outfit plans.
“I’m going out to brunch on this cold winter day, but I have a problem,” she said. “I want to wear a mini skirt.”
But this stylish lady had found a way around this issue.
“I have a solution, the solution is I bought these leggings. They’re full-on leggings.
“They have this delicious frizz iside. You put them on and they look like black nylons when they stretch.”
She was right: once they were on under her skirt, they did not look like leggings.
“They literally look as if you were wearing nylons,” she said of the Sensilk Cozy Fleece Tights, $34.96.
“Deep down inside you’re having all this warmth,” she said, showing off the fleecy lining.”
Now she was ready to pull the look together with her leather mini skirt star of the show.
“I’m so excited. I think I can pull it off. I like wearing a miniskirt in freezing cold weather with these babies that are thick as hell but you can’t tell,” she said.
She added a warm sweater, cool heels, scarf, and jacket: “So cozy,” was her final and thrilled verdict.
Commenters were full of admiration for this outfit choice.
“You look great. You got winter figured out,” said one person.
“Beautiful and love the outfit. Been thinking about trying some,” said another.
Another woman living in a cold area vouched for these fleecy leggings.
“I have some. I live in the mountains of Colorado, and they are awesome.”
