International Women’s Day: Who Inspires You?
In honor of International Women’s Day, we reached out to our network of strong, ambitious, resilient, inspiring, intelligent, resourceful, amazing women to answer one very important question: As a woman, who inspires you?
When you’re done reading, don’t forget to leave a comment and tell us all about a special woman who inspires you.

“I would say my fellow female founder friends. As female founders, we have a different set of challenges and I get a lot of energy from women looking to do their own thing.”

“As a woman, I am inspired by Quigley Goode from @officiallyquigley. Influencers have a tremendous responsibility not only to inspire their largely female audiences, but also to empower them. Quigley empowers women to embrace their flaws and reminds us to show love to ourselves and our communities. Her page is a colorful reminder that social media is an opportunity to connect with each other by sharing stories, both good and bad.”

Lauren
“As a young woman dreaming of having our own children one day, I am in complete awe of working mothers. I am blessed to have several amazing women in my life who either run their own company or are an important part of one, and their passion for both career and family is truly inspiring. The way that they balance life with such grace, pushing through the hard days with positivity and striving to become better versions of themselves each day has impacted me in more ways than they will ever know!”

Sonia
“I'm inspired by so many women on a daily basis. I especially gain inspiration from the women I'm able to meet and work with through my production company. They're female directors, photographers, producers, fashion magazine editors, brand executives and entrepreneurs who are living authentically and not sacrificing their passions. I have so much respect for people, in general, who go after their dreams and face their fears head-on. It motivates me to not only continue to do the work that I do, but to also strive for more. It sets such a great example for women everywhere to release outdated beliefs and limitations. I think the more we can support and lift each other up as women, the faster we'll collectively shift fear-based thoughts and make space for all of us to elevate even higher.”

Sonia is wearing our Toni tuxedo dress in red—coming soon!
Jaime
“I'm inspired by women who are bold. Women who take chances and play big. Women who intentionally focus on lifting and raising the voices of the other women in the room, because true leaders believe in we over me.”
- Jaime Diglio, @in.first
Jaime is wearing our Anne dress.
Holly
“As a woman who has recently had a child, ALL mothers inspire me! I never knew how many hats a mother had to wear, whether she works a job or stays at home taking care of her little ones, being a Mother is a full-time job and such a major responsibility. I’ve learned how hard it is to juggle all of the things thrown at you on a daily basis, so mothers inspire me! I’ve been so fortunate to be in a business where I’m able to connect with so many women—all with different stories—but each one is trying her best to be the best and do the best for her family!”
