NextImg:Mom of 3 finds her Hooters uniform 30 years later — shows it off as motivation to ‘stay in shape’

That’s one way to stay motivated!

A mother-of-three went viral on TikTok for slipping into her decades-old Hooters uniform she found in the attic of her home.

Nikki Merrill wowed viewers after posting herself in the skimpy orange-and-white colored outfit she once wore while working at a Hooters in Aruba as a 19-year-old in 1993.

“If you work there, you know how easy they ripped,” Merrill joked while doing a 360 showoff in her uniform.

“It’s definitely motivation to stay in shape if you want to fit in it 30 years later. I couldn’t bring myself to throw it out either!” she adds.

The video which has been viewed over 25,000 times was met with tons of praise and cheery comments from many.

“Honestly you could definitely work there now!” one supportive replier said.

“You would still kill it ???? ????!” a fellow mother applauds.

One user shared her time working at a Hooters in Raleigh, NC as well as Myrtle Beach, SC, in 1993 and 1994 — only for Merrill to reply back when she realized the two actually worked together.
