• Duchess Meghan's best friend, stylist Jessica Mulroney, exposed the offensive messages she receives online.
• Mulroney posted an exchange she had via Instagram with a troll who criticized her clothing.
• The stylist replied, "Sorry. I dress for myself."

Duchess Meghan's close friend, Jessica Mulroney, doesn't have time for people who criticize women's style and clothing choices. Taking a stand for anyone who's ever received an offensive message from a stranger, Mulroney shared a recent exchange she had on Instagram with a commenter.

Mulroney posted a screenshot of a message she received, in which a stranger criticized one of her outfits. The sender wrote, "Oh my god, lose the bell bottom pants. So over used in your wardrobe. Gets tiresome." Mulroney replied, "Sorry. But I dress for myself. Not anyone else." Frankly, her reply deserves a round of applause, as most of us have been on the receiving end of unwanted DMs.

The stylist and brand strategist also wrote an impassioned caption explaining why these messages need to stop. Read it in full below.

"These types of silly messages flood my inbox daily but I wanted to share this one in particular. I don't personally feel attacked nor do I care what this person thinks about how I dress. This is truly not about ME but here's the thing. When I style women, I find shapes that make them look and feel their best. Repetition is not bad. I work with real women of all shapes and sizes. I try to promote confidence within women through fashion. It is not about wearing all the silhouettes, it's simply about what makes you feel good. Period."

Can we all just live?
