BarbieCore Inspo (from Yours Truly) as This Trend is on The Rise

And yes, that song by Aqua is stuck in my head now, too.

The latest trend to take over TikTok and the rest of the internet is “BarbieCore”, and I realized— “whoa, this is a trend I finally sort of fit into.”

Since blush pink has been my favorite color for YEARS (and I literally got married in a blush pink wedding gown), this trend makes me super excited and I’d love to share my favorite “BarbieCore” trends and tips with you all!

Clearly, this trend is silly fun, and not to be taken super seriously— but if you want to get hella feminine and pretty in pink with me as this trend is on the rise, I say let’s go for it!

BarbieCore Tip 1: It Doesn’t Have to be Hot Pink (but it can be!)

Blush pink, dusty rose, and other muted shades of pink make me so, so happy. I wear blush pink constantly, and it’s a reminder that you can step into pink shades without going into bright, neon pink territory (though that’s fun, too)— it’s a versatile color, and playing with multiple shades and textures can make it even more fun!

BarbieCore Tip 2: You Don’t Have to Wear Heels, Y’all

As someone who is a serial heel-hater (I love the way they look, but I despise wearing them), I promise you— you can get “dolled up” without strapping stilettos on your feet. I love to play around with funky booties, sandals, and mules with my looks, and I don’t even feel the need to wear heels in most settings; the other variations work just as well! So, don’t trip (literally or figuratively) if you don’t like wearing heels— you can be fabulous in flats, too!

BarbieCore Tip 3: Have Fun With It

Obviously, these “core” trends are silly and somewhat ridiculous— so just have fun with it. When expressing your style, the most important thing is to have fun and feel like the best version of yourself. So, step into your power, get gussied up, and just enjoy it!

Are you hopping on this trend-train? As someone who plans to never stop wearing pink, BarbieCore sounds like lots of fun.

Xoxo, MM.
