GIRL
There are many joys in life as a woman. You know what's right at the top of the list?
Good girlfriends. Scratch that— GREAT girlfriends.
Meet my girl, Ashley, The Queen behind The Inspired I.
She has impeccable taste in fashion, she’s a connoisseur of street-style, and is a woman I trust. Ashley and I met just a few years ago, but time feels irrelevant when it comes to our friendship. Our friendship has grown into an honest, judgement-free, and woman-empowering bond. Through this, I've found that like with all relationships, communication is key in friendship.
Ashley, you're my girl, a real one. I feel blessed to have you in my life and look forward to the many more memories we'll create— including more conversations starting with "Girrrll," increasing our sneaker collection, and eating more beignets 😜
If you're looking to add to your squad, I’ve whipped up some pointers to help you find a real one (by the looks of this list, I'm pretty sure I have a type, lol.)
How to a spot a GREAT girlfriend:
She's her own and your ULTIMATE hype girl.
She makes you feel safe.
She has patience and understanding for you and your boundaries.
She lets you know that it's okay to have confidence and to be deeply obsessed with taking care of yourself.
She accepts you right where you are.
She spends hours with you talking back and forth about what's important in each other's lives.
She's your mirror, your thermometer, your bull-shit reader, and it's all done with love.
She knows the right affirmations you need to hear and when you need to hear the truth (for real, for real).
She's there for you when you lose, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, celebrates your wins.
Last but not least, she knows how to drop it like it's hottt on the dance floor with you.
