We all know a "quirky girl." Or maybe you are a quirky girl. Maybe you're a quirky girl and you just don't realize it. I could give you the Oxford English Dictionary (OED for short) definition, but let's cut to the chase and look it up in the dictionary this demographic of people trusts more:
That's right, Urban Dictionary. And look! It even includes one of the quirkiest icons of them all, Phoebe Buffay!
Being yourself should always be celebrated. Being quirky is no exception. Some people don't even know there is a personality description for someone who hopes it will rain so they can wear their three-part-matching-umbrella-rain boot-rain coat ensemble. Well, there is. And to expand on this list, the quirkiest girl of them all, Jess Day, is here to help.
1. Polka dots. Stripes. Scottie Dogs. All in one outfit.
You know no limits when it comes to patterned clothing. You do not allow one ounce of "drab" clothing touch you. Color coordination and accessorizing are practically resume skills for you.
2. Your lingo is ridiculously retro.
"Golly gee!" "Jiminy Crickets!" "Holy Cannoli!" Anything you might hear your grandmother say. That's where we get most of our material.
3. Flirtation can be a bit of a struggle.
Holding a conversation with someone you have a particularly romantic interest in is a bit short of painful. I'm really good at talking about the differences between the book and the movie. I'm not very good at talking about much else.
4. You send an absurd amount of cute dog videos to your roommate because you think she'll cry just as hard as you did.
If only my impulsivity for clicking puppy videos was a valid excuse for late homework.
5. Parties? With loud music? And unpredictable social situations? No, thank you.
I can think of 142 better things to do. (You can probably add rhyming to your unconventional resume skills, too)
6. Tea time? Wine nights? Leonard DiCaprio movie marathons? Yes, please!
That's what I call a party. Throw in a "sweatpants only" policy and I'll be the life of that party.
7. Buying a new dress two months in advance for an event just to be sure your outfit reaches its maximum cute potential
You don't know any other way to prepare for something like this.
8. You are THE Pajama Queen.
And everyone better know it. You have a different pajama set with every woodland creature, forms of ice cream, teddy bears, and, of course, cats on them.
9. You get pretty upset when your knitting/reading/movie watching/crafting time is disturbed.
Can't you see "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is on and it is a very sensitive point in the movie? LEAVE ME ALONE.
10. You're pretty open about eating and how you feel about it.
But of course, I'll always share. Okay, I shouldn't say always.
11. Girl Power to the max
If you're going to be a proud quirky girl, you bet your heart-shaped Kate Spade purse you want every other girl to be proud of themselves.
12. You're peculiar and you like it.
Let your freak flag fly! Wear your gauchos, rock that fanny pack, that fish sweater looks fantastic.
