HOW TO BE OLD - LYN SLATER GEBUNDEN

A personal memoir in which Lyn Slater  known on Instagram as Accidental Icon  brings her
characteristic style  optimism  forward-thinking  and rules-are-meant-to-be-broken attitude to
the question of how to live boldly at any age. 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  the sometimes-glamorous
sometimes-turbulent decade of Accidental Icon. This memoir is about the hopeful and
future-oriented process of reinvention. It shows readers that while you can't control
everything  what you can control is the way you think about your age and the creative ways you
respond to the changes in your mind and body as they happen. Rather than trying to meet
standards of youth and beauty as a measure of successful aging  Lyn promotes a more inclusive
and empowering standard to judge our older selves by. In this paradigm-shifting memoir  Lyn
exemplifies that even with its unique challenges  being old is just like any new beginning in
your life and can be the best and most invigorating of all of life's phases  full of rebellion
and reinvention  connection and creativity--
