Wondering if you’re a basic bitch? If you think any (or all) of them items on this list are like ‘really cute’ or ‘chic,” well…I hate to break it to you, but you just might be.
Old Navy rubber flip flops. If you’ve ever worn these to a wedding, just stop now. You don’t even need to read on for confirmation that you are, in fact, basic. I mean, these make great shower shoes and it’s cool if you want to run errands in them – but they’re RUBBER FLIP FLOPS, people. Fashionable they are not.
Jeans with rhinestones on the pockets. Why? Just why? There are so many beautiful pairs of unadorned denim out there. Why get the ones with ugly ass stones on them?
Spandex dresses with cutouts. If I see you wearing this to da club, I WILL judge you.
Red-bottoms. Okay, if you want a pair of a high-quality pumps in amazing leather, splurge on some Louboutins. But if you just want them for the red sole, rethink your priorities. And if you want to paint the bottoms of your non-Loubitoun shoes red…just don’t.
That one skintight American Apparel dress. You know which one I’m talking about. Just because every sorority girl ever owns it, doesn’t mean it’s a good look.
Uggs. Sure they’re extremely comfy but make no mistake – they’re for function, not fashion. I hope I don’t have to tell you that they should never be worn on a warmish day (especially not with a denim miniskirt).
Gym shorts rolled allllll the way up. Leave something to the imagination, ladies.
Arm parties. More specifically, thinking you’re the trendsetter who started the arm party thing.
Leggings as pants. In the immortal words of Blair Waldorf, TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS. Cover the bum or put on some jeans.
Plastic pearls. You can’t just throw them over your tightest LBD and think you look classy. Sorry. No. It just doesn’t work that way. They’re like the French manicures of jewelry. What’s that you say? French manis are super classy too? On that note, I’m out.
