seven things a girl should have

one.
boots, boots, and more boots
coming to college, my mother told me i could only bring 10 pairs of shoes with me. and i laughed in her face. that means she wanted me to simplify my collection of 64 pairs of shoes, yes 64, to 10. impossible (if you know anything about women and their shoes). i believe a girl is most confident in her boots, whether they be brown leathers or black studdeds. not uggs and not heels. a general pair of boots. a pair you can dress up to wear out or a pair you can throw on with jeans and a sweater.



two.
scarves of multitudes 
i believe scarves can change a person's outfit entirely. a scarf can add that one zest of color to your completely bland outfit. i have a beautiful ginger friend, complete with freckles and all, who has a rusty orange scarf and when she wears it, i swear to God she is glowing. a scarf can hide a mistake made from the previous night, or add some flava to your life on a rainy day.



three.
flask forever

a classy girl never leaves home without her flask. i'm not talking about a silver stallion flask, i'm talking about a classy, completely hipster floral flask. it's something i think is worth a splurge, how often do you come across a beautiful gem like this one? rarely. so when you do, take advantage. like a cute boy: if you don't make move quick, someone else will.




four.
nail polish, what up
one of my favorite things to do is to paint my nails. i literally paint them every other day, if not every day. not because i paint them to match my every day outfit, because, honestly, that would be a little obsessive. i love to try all different kinds of colors and designs. i am constantly drawing on my nails with sharpies or using toothpicks to add dots or flowers. also, i get really skeeved out by nails without color on them, i have no idea why..

five.
sexy blacks
every girls needs your average simple blacks. i'm talking simple black heels, simple black leather boots, simple black peacoat, simple black leather jackets, simple black leather handbag, simple black skirt, simple little black dress, simple black flats, simple black jeans. simple simple simple black black black.


six.
earrings
every girl needs a wide range of bling-bling. whether you find your swag with studs like one of my roommates, or you like big bold shine like my friend from another campus, everyone has their niche. a girl who hides behind her earring is someone who can't wear them with confidence. shine bright, but make sure you swag doesn't blind anyone.


seven.
one good guy friend
i am a strong believer that every girl needs a guy friend she can always be herself around. whether you find this character in your brother or in your ex-boyfriend, every girl needs a guy they can always confine in without pressure. someone to give you advice, someone to tell you straight up, someone to remind you how much you deserve, someone to tell you how amazing of a person you truly are.
