Speaking of basic...

This sounds like the most comfortable Halloween costume ever.

Sunglasses?

[sjh722]

Or do you have a North Face fleece?

A big cardboard picture of the Pinterest "p"?

STOP DESCRIBING ME.

There's a reason I said this sounds like the most comfortable costume ever, haha!

Sincerely,

owns 2 pairs of uggs and like 12 pairs of leggings

You need to find somewhere on your body to show off your pinterest inspired "deep thoughts tattoo". Make sure its dramatic to convey your white girl struggle.

[bowies]

Nail art

[cincodemayo]

What are "generic white-girl looks"?

[Deleted]

Oh, and chevron! You have to have chevron print.

Don't forget a messy updo.

A black puffer vest could replace the NF fleece in a pinch.

[motzie]

Extensions, lots of bronzer and maybe fake eyelashes.

[niq]

carry a water bottle or starbucks go-cup.

[changedname]

Yoga mat.

After yesterday's birthday party fun, I'm tempted to dress as a "co-op preschool mom" for our trick-or-treating with neighbors. But I don't think I have time to go thrifting for the perfectly-mismatched clothes to convey that I obviously just don't care what I look like.

@this - dying at your responses!

they've been joking about this on the radio alot "basic bitch" 99% of girls wardrobes, sounds like you got it pegged.

[carolinagirl831]

You should write "basic bitch" on your Starbucks cup. Maybe spell it wrong, lol.

Like B'Asik Bytche?

This thread has been the highlight of my day. And, @kirkette, I do worry that no one will get it and that when I explain it, basic bitches may be offended, LOL. My runner-up costume is Veronica Mars, which is similarly low profile, but not offensive.

No. Basic Bitches are usually not self-aware enough to think they are basic bitches. They have either never heard the term or they swear up & down they are not basic bitches. Just like hipsters. Most hipsters don't admit to being hipsters.

And @this is happily proving me wrong by embracing the lifestyle

[cjeanette]

And I was so happy rocking my new chevron scarf I picked up at a craft fair this weekend.

I even bought a matching one for E :/

If I wore this to work my grade 8s would think I was pretending to be them.

I have a black puffer vest - from the Gap circa 1998. This is why I throw nothing out. It pays to be a hoarder (sorta).

Omg, when ponchos came (briefly) back into style a while back (late 90s or early 00s?) my mom was crushed that she had tossed her 70s handknit ponchos. Oh mom, lol. No one wants those!

I think they're back again...
