HOW TO BE OLD - LYN SLATER GEBUNDEN

One of Elle 's Most Anticipated Nonfiction Books of 2024  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.
