This is weekend motivation for sure! An 81 year-old model, Carmen Dell’Orefice, strutted down the catwalk twice—yes, twice—during NY Fashion Week.  Oh, to look this fabulous at 81!  Check out her story in the video below.  The fact that she still struts her stuff with poise and confidence at that age is enough for me. Aaliyah said it best, “Age ain’t nothing but a number.”  I want to be like her when I grow up!
