AN INFLUENCER mum who’s regularly trolled over her wardrobe choices has insisted she won’t stop wearing her beloved belly tops.
Anna Saccone Joly regularly shares videos and pictures of herself and her family – husband Jonathan and their four kids – on her social media pages.
But she’s found herself targeted over her wardrobe, which has included a tonne of crop tops since she had a “mummy makeover”, including a tummy tuck, in August 2023.
Lots of people in the comments on Anna’s videos have insisted she’s too old, at 37, to be wearing the stomach-baring ensembles.
“The belly tops are embarrassing at nearly 40,” one person insisted.
“Give your children’s clothes back to them!” another added.
“If you don’t like others comments & opinions…” a third commented.
“Stop flaunting it over social media then – go be a mother to your kids instead of trying to be one of them!!!”
However, YouTuber and influencer Anna hit back at the comments as she lip-synced along to Billy Joel’s My Life, pretending to sing: “I don’t care what you say anymore this is my life.
“Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone!”
“I guess I didn’t realise we were meant to dress like old maids in our late 30s,” she added in the caption.
And others agreed with her in the comments section of the TikTok, encouraging Anna to wear exactly what she wants.
“You can never be too old to wear a belly top,” one wrote in the comments.
“Agree!” Anna replied.
“So pretty and even with surgery you should be able to show off you new look,” another added.
“I would wear one in winter if I was you!” a third said.
“We spend our entire young lives being judged for what we wear and look like,” someone else commented.
“Getting to a point where you are comfortable and confident in a style that works for you is the goal.
How to blast belly fat WITHOUT going to the gym or dieting
Chew your food
This mindfulness trick is used to focus your brain on the food you are eating – how it tastes and feels – rather than scoffing it in a hurry. If the brain does not register that you have eaten, you’ll soon crave more food.
Avocado a day
Eating avocado every day can fight visceral fat in women, which collects around the organs in the stomach and can lead to diabetes, heart attack, and some cancers, according to a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign study of 105 people.
Avoid fizzy drinks
Losing belly “fat” may just be a case of preventing bloating, which can be onset by fizzy soft drinks. Instead, keep hydrated with water.
Reduce alcohol
Alcohol does no favours at all for our health or figures. It is ’empty calories’, meaning it contributes to your calorie intake without giving any nutritional benefit.
Hangovers can also lead you to eat more fatty foods, while putting you off exercising.
Sleep more
Various studies have shown that if you’re not sleeping well, it can cause weight gain.
People are more likely to crave junk food when they are sleep deprived because, not only are they in need of an energy boost, but their appetite hormones are all over the place.
Reduce stress
Stress causes an imbalance of hormones, particularly cortisol. This hormone has been linked with obesity and excess belly fat.

“I recently lost some weight and now wear tops similar to this.
“I’m 37 and have spent literally DECADES hating my body – I freaking earned the right to wear whatever the hell I want.”
“You look great, it’s flattering on you,” another said.
“Clothing doesn’t have specific ages. Not sure why anyone cares lol!”
“I’m 36 and wear whatever I like!” someone else wrote.
“I WILL NOT LIVE MY LIFE IN THE OPINION OF OTHERS!! All the haters are just JEALOUS!!! PERIOD.”
“If I looked as good as you, I’d be rocking that outfit everyday,” another commented.
“You do you hun!”
