It’s been more than a decade since the last episode went on air and about half that time since the last movie. Yet for countless women around the world, Sex and the City still continues to matter — consciously or otherwise. So if any of these ring true, you might actually still be living in Carrie’s world, and you probably didn’t even know it.
#1. The Cosmopolitan will always be your drink of choice.
Part vodka, part chic.
#2. You wear stilettos with an almost religious fervor.
The platform shoe trend has come and gone, but stilettos live forever.
#3. And you can actually run in said footwear.
Not at all a mean feat.
#4. You occasionally do fall flat on your face…
Hey, it happens to the best of us.
#5. …but you always get right back up.
Because that’s how real people do it.
#6. You know that the only way to properly hail a cab is to do it with style.
They can’t help but stop for you.
#7. You shop. And oh boy, do you shop.
You’ve earned it, girl!
#8. You can spend all day waxing poetic about shoes and purses and Prada.
Truly, there is no greater muse than shoes.
#9. And you stand up for your beliefs.
You’re confident enough to know exactly where you stand in everything.
#10. You identify yourself and your girlfriends as Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte.
There’s one of each in every squad.
#11. You have a fabulous gay best friend, too.
Who’s your best source of perspective, by the way.
#12. You indulge your guilty pleasures.
Sans the guilt, of course.
#13. You know that everything is more fun when you’re with your friends.
From working out to cleaning out your apartment — you know this much is true.
#14. Weekend brunch is the highlight of your week.
It’s a sacred time.
#15. You never pass up a night about town with the girls.
Hoes before bros. Always.
#16. You always dress for the occasion, of course.
There’s no way you’re gonna be caught in public looking anything less than fabulous.
#17. You go through men like most people go through socks, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, after all.
#18. You like sex. And more than that, you actually have sex.
Nothing to be ashamed of, either.
#19. You view your entire dating environment with a healthy dose of cynicism…
Because it’s a jungle out there.
#20. …but not without optimism, as well.
Even if you won’t admit it sometimes.
And it’s not a short list.
#22. …but you are still a believer in true love.
Because perhaps love, as promised, does conquer all.
#23. No matter what, you will never settle for anything less than what you deserve.
That’s how real women do it.
#24. And deep down, you know for a fact that in relationships, you should always put yourself first.
Because you are worth it.
#25. You have an unshakeable faith that your friends will always have your back.
Truly, there are no better people to have on your team.
#26. Your girlfriends are your soulmates, after all.
Ain’t that the truth!
#27. Most of all, your most important relationship will forever be the one you have with yourself.
Because really, that’s just fabulous.
