21 Things To Stop Asking Permission For And Just DO Already

I'm the most frustrating person to get advice from. If you ask me if that lipstick looks good on you, I'll ask turn the question around and ask you if you like it.

Can I pull off bangs? Does this nail color go with my outfit? What should I text him back? STOP. When you stop asking permission and start making your own decisions, you start respecting yourself more. You're saying: I trust myself with my own life. No one else is in charge but me.

Constantly needing a second opinion breeds way too much guilt. I blame social media. Next time you tweet out a picture of yourself in a changing room, asking everyone's advice, think for two seconds how wearing that outfit actually makes you feel. If you feel like the kickass leading lady you know you are, buy it.

If you're asking someone else for permission ... chances are, you probably already know the answer.

I dare you to not ask permission for one of these things today. Get drunk off that feeling, ladies! It's a good one.
