Text Between Friends

Friend 1: “I don’t get it, how do you come up with so many great fashion ideas?”
Friend 2: “I get them from OOMF actually. She really has these great ideas for designs but isn’t skilled at making them a reality.”
Friend 1: “So you steal ideas from a follower on Insta?”
Friend 2: “No, I don’t. I give her full credit with a shout-out. She’s shy and doesn’t want everyone slamming her PMs with request or thoughts.”
Friend 1: “So that’s why you always say ‘Shout-Out to OOMF’?”
Friend 2: “Correct.”
