... to ask WTF a VSCO girl is!?

[crisscrosscranky]

12 year old DD has just announced to me she's a VSCO girl (followed by a peace sign) then gone upstairs to FaceTime...

Google has not helped my lack of understanding. Please, someone far cooler than me, explain in layman's terms!?

In my day we called them the sheep

Apparently e-boys is the boy version

I much prefer the vsco look (minimal makeup) to the drag queen slap face that seems to be pushed on teen girls at the moment.
My 13 year old DD has, however, made a pisstake video of her Shrek mask being one!

Ah, then she definitely is a vsco girl 🙄

Have to agree with PP that I have been glad she seems to favour a natural look than heavy makeup (out of the house- she spends hours watching James Charles tutorials but takes the makeup straight off after applying it!)

I feel old, yet relieved I'm not going through pre-teen angst of keeping up with "trends".

From what I can see, a major benefit of vcso trend is minimal makeup.
Have these on me .
I hope you enjoy the peace & quiet whilst your DD is facetime'ing

Clogs
Hydroflasks
Scrunchies
Uses VSCO filters
Pink drink from Starbucks
Metal straws
Not much makeup
Quite messy hair- not obviously done, often a messy bun
Shell necklace

What I would say is that by your DD announcing she is a vsco girl, she isn’t a vsco girl

It’s not something you call yourself mac

she asked me for a foldable metal straw yesterday and I ordered one thinking it was for environmental reasons and because she hates the McDonald's paper ones... I'm cross now!

Much nicer than the trash over blown sex dolls that I see. I think my niece is an aspiring one of these.

I meant an aspiring vsco girl not an aspiring trash bag.

Mine became one in Spain apparently.

Very very true. The Instagram generation seem quite good at celebrating their uniqueness by being clones of each other.

is a body positive, family friendly YouTuber. Basically everything everyone above says plus a Fjallraven backpack.

I'm so pleased Scrunchies are back.
I think my daughter is trying this look out, sadly she'll definitely be a pound shop version.
I'm liking the no make up look though.

oh it's falling into place :D

dd3 (10) asked for a 'baggy T shirt' (got a size 8 white one) and said - 'all I need now is a shell necklace and a metal straw' - I was baffled as usual!

Having read the linked article I think I might be a natural VSCO woman in some ways. I'm on trend and had no idea!

A PVSCO girl!

I'm watching that link above and DD just said "Save the turtles, where's my hydro flask and scrunch?"

What's VSCO

And I opp xsxsxsxsx

Glad to see someone else has already linked to SierraSchultzie's YouTube Channel. I love her channel and this post reminded me of her recent video.

Love it! Thank god for this trend - it does seem better than all the other ones I've seen lately.

Mine are VSCO girls too! Like surfer girls but with expensive water bottles. Apparently thrifting is also in fashion (charity shop shopping as us oldies would call it ).

This might explain why one of DD's friends made a friendship bracelet for her - I'll namedrop tomorrow and check the facial expression for proof! Seems like a more harmless trend than some (although I'll brace myself for the backpack, they are expensive!).
