Although Gap's recent campaign has emphasized normcore, I didn't give it much thought. As evidenced in this blog, I fancy bold colors and eclectic patterns just as much dressing simply. The notion of "dressing normal" just sounded counter to my instincts. Yet, as history has taught me, I'm not one to ever say "never say never" (anymore) and here I am…looking quite "average." A simple dress with heels. Nothing more. Nothing less. It is what it is.
It's actually refreshing if you think about "dressing normal." Throwing on the basics and looking just as put together as the other more ostentatious outfits is awesome. It's even liberating to know that I feel just as good without all the "extras."
But, don't think this one look will stop my eclectic style vibe. After all, I am who I am.
Really cute dress .. I love how it's just a clean lines type of dress .. looks classic!

Honestly, I don't understand normcore. It's okay if someone's style is minimalist, but to me normcore just seems boring. I'm with you on bold colors and prints and having fun with my style! This denim dress is really cute!

Sometimes it's nice to go a little basic and not worry about mixing all the bling and patterns. I love this simplicity! And of course those red Prabal heels! <3

Ok, I beg to differ, I see "normal" as average. There is nothing average about you.
ReplyDeleteI do love this simple dress, but I love that you added orange sandals and a bold pendant necklace.
This is not an average or normal outfit, face it, you special to be merely normal.
Love that you thrifted that gorgeous bag!
( a normal person would have paid full price and might have some debt problems..)
