I cannot even with this article. Being a "basic white girl" is something that can be taken as an insult, but in all reality there is nothing wrong with it. A basic white girl is a girl that does and has the same things as all of her friends and peers. If you think that you are a basic, white girl then you might be, but here are just a few of the things people classify as “basic white girl” things.

1. You have your Uggs, and you have at least two different styles or pairs. Ah, the famous Uggs...the most comfortable shoe to wear once the weather starts to turn and you cannot get away with wearing flip flops or sandals 24/7. Uggs can basically be the go-to shoe in the fall or early spring, but do not even try wearing them when there’s over two inches of snow because you will regret it. Uggs are a staple of the basic white girl.
2. To go along with your Uggs in the early winter and spring, you have your North Face jacket. Let’s be honest, this thing will do you some good but once it drops below 30 degrees, just forget about it. The black North Face jacket is something that you can see any girl wearing when you make a trip to the mall. If you have Uggs and a North Face, well you are two things into being classified as a basic white girl.
3. So you have your Uggs and North Face, the next thing for basic white girls is the black leggings. Whether they come from Victoria’s Secret or Kohls, if you are caught wearing your brown Uggs, your black North Face and your black leggings, you will pretty much be categorized as a basic white girl. Black leggings are such a staple in any girl’s wardrobe though how could you not own at least five pairs?
4. Uggs, North Face, black leggings, and…you guessed it, your Starbucks. I would like a pumpkin spice latte with soy milk and no whip topping. Oh and can you add an extra shot of expresso? You live and breathe Starbucks. You have the app and you flash your gold card anytime you walk into the store. Who would not do that though, right? I mean you earn that by spending all of your hard earned money on your daily latte and then occasionally a green tea later in the day. By the way if you are a Starbucks junkie, as I am, then you are so not about the update. I mean who really gets that many stars?
5. The last component to a basic white girl is the iPhone. You have the latest update with your flashy case to let everyone know you have an iPhone. This one used to be bigger, but with basically the entire world being run by iPhones, you really just add this as an accessory to your basic-ness. Did I mention that your phone is probably gold or rose gold?

There is nothing wrong with being a basic white girl. Trust me I am almost as basic as they come and I hit all of these marks, except the iPhone one; mine is silver. If you are basic, embrace it! Wear those Uggs with pride! Rock that North Face jacket while you walk around campus probably freezing your butt off. Those black leggings make any outfit look on point, especially with those Uggs and killer top you are shielding from the cold under that North Face. That five dollars Starbs order is the best five dollars you will spend all day, especially since the more you spend, the more points you get now. Your iPhone is your right-hand man and will never let you down. Who cares if you are basic? Pretty much every girl I know meets these standards, but we all make basic work for us. Be basic, but be different. No one makes a better you than you. Blend in, but stand out at the same time and never be afraid to be who you are. Be the girl other basic girls cannot even about.
