Something Old, Something New

Normcore

Hey guys, I am blogging from the warmest spot in the center of my bed because its freezing everywhere else in the house.  The temps are frigid, and so is my wardrobe as of late.  No fun, and frills from this old lady.  My style aesthetic has been all about warmth and sensibility.  Which brings us to the term "norm-core".

I posted a picture on Instagram a few weeks ago and someone liked my pic as well as added (hastag) #normcore.  I had never heard of this word so I didn't know whether to be offended or flattered by the tag.  After doing a little research I discovered that normcore is word that is a combination of "normal" and "hardcore".  This is a new fashion trend that is all about wearing extreme basics and being minimalistic in your style of dress.  I hadn't really noticed, but I had been donning nothing more than black, white and/ or grey all of which was from my boyfriend's closet.  And just like that (without even knowing), I had mastered the art of normcore

Although I am sure that once the weather breaks I will be back in fun prints and embellishments; however, right now I am really enjoying normcore.
