Fritzie Cencil, 50, loves donning “daring” skirts, shorts and crop tops, even if trolls say it’s ‘not appropriate.’

The mum-of-one says she has a petite frame and likes that crop tops and high-waisted trousers gives the illusion of longer legs.
Fritzie says trolls tell her it’s “inappropriate” for her age but she wears the clothes for herself and says “age doesn’t define me”.
And she says people also tell her “you’re body is like a 20-year-old”.
Fritzie, a clinical lead practice education for the NHS, from Islington, London said: “People say you can’t wear that. It’s not appropriate.
“I’ll wear whatever I want as long as I look good in it.
“I wear clothes for myself.
“I’m 50 – I can wear things I want to wear.
“It feels liberating.
“Age is just a number. It doesn’t define me.”
The mum revealed she grew up in a small village in the Philippines, which made her restricted on what she could wear.
But after moving to London in 2002, she stopped holding back on her personal style.
Now the mum wears whatever she wants, even if she knows it’s meant to be for 20 year old’s.
She said: “I spread my wings. I can wear what a 20-year-old can wear.
“I know it suits me.
