Like many women, and contrary to the haters, I’m a big fan of Sex and the City, particularly Carrie Bradshaw. In regards to fashion and sense of self, I find myself asking, “What would Carrie Bradshaw do?” In terms of fashion, Carrie’s whimsical, outrageous, yet classic and stylish wardrobe appeals to my own personal aesthetic. She manages to create one of a kind ensembles mixing vintage, couture, trends, and timelessness. Carrie is always a lady, always chic, and always guaranteed to turn heads.
As a woman, though, I find Carrie an admirable role model (for a fictitious character)– she’s strong, independent, sexy,while still maintaining emotional vulnerability, maturity, and a youthful playfulness. She’s ambitious, defines family on her own terms, keeps her heart wide open to what the city and men have to offer, while maintaining her own strong sense of identity.
And when I think of a figure head, who represents what I’d like my ideal self to be, Ms. Bradshaw manages to encompass all of the qualities I like to think that I have, and some that I’d hope to grow in to.
