Which of these Carrie Bradshaw quotes is your favorite?

Carrie Bradshaw is a fashion addict who would rather buy the latest designer shoe than dinner.

The story goes that the column she writes makes her somewhat of a local celebrity within the city.

This eventually leads to her having different types of opportunities such as writing for larger publications, including Vogue.

The character that is portrayed through Carrie Bradshaw is one that some women looked up to.

But just as the critics did, it’s important to view her life in its entirety and see not just the fun and fashion but the confusion, stress, and heartbreak that she experiences and causes through her lifestyle.

Much better to be enjoyed through the franchise than sought out in real life.
