Being basic

So the basic bitch was coined, and we can’t help but wonder, is it ok? Ok maybe not this extreme, as quoted by Glamour  – but sometimes it’s not that bad, being basic. Yes, you’re following the trends, and being pretty damn ok with it. You still enjoy your uggs when it’s cold, you leggings when you aren’t working out, and damn that PSL from Starbucks is waiting with your name on it, non-fat of course.

Ok, I admit, I don’t hate it. The other day I went to spin class, then still in my leggings, I went to get my PSL, got a quick pedi, while gramming my daily posts, and then running errands. Basic? yes. Ashamed? No. According to my friends, all I was missing was a trendy jacket and my mid-winter uggs. In grey of course (I don’t wear brown).

Am I only basic? Hell no.

Here’s the thing, it’s ok to follow whatever damn trend you want. In the end, it’s about what makes your daily life happier. Perhaps it’s grabbing a quick mani-pedi after a pilates class, or perhaps it’s about throwing on your favorite lululemon leggings and watching a netflix binge session of friends with your rosé. Who cares.

You do you.

And soon, they’ll have another phrase for those that wear only XYZ and you’ll just be another phrase that ended up some sitcom that you’ll then binge watch in 10 years, remembering when.

You do you.
