In today's society, basicness comes up a lot. I mean a lot. You literally cannot go anywhere without hearing someone say, "That is so basic," or "She is so basic." So when did being basic become a bad thing? And why is everyone so obsessed with basicness? If you think about it, most of the celebrities have a basic quality to them. Just look at Lauren Conrad, she has that basic style along with a glam style and she rocks it 100 percent of the time. Let's take a lesson from Lauren Conrad—embrace your basicness like a rock star. Let's be real—from the time "Mean Girls" came out when we were much younger, this generation was destined for basicness.
(And to answer "Cosmo"'s question, you can obviously be Basic and a Bad*ss)
