It's a Hipster Nation

Hipster. It's a term most of us have put into our vocabulary recently. However, do any of us really know what it means?

The term has been around for ages, it was first used in the 1940's, renounced in the 1980's and once again here in 2012. According to Google's dictionary, it is a person who follows the latest trends and fashions. The definition has gradually evolved from the above to defining a person who values independent thinking, creativity, intelligence, and appreciates the little things in life like art and indie-rock music.

What does the term hipster mean to me? I see it as someone who is up on the latest fashion, and who, like the rest of us, strives to be just a little bit different from the rest of the crowd. Specifically, I see this description of a person as someone who will put anything together when it comes to dressing themselves-any vareity of print or color. Someone who wears skinny jeans, flower printed shoes, and has side swept bangs.

There are multiple different style terms floating around these days, ranging from hipster to urban chic. We all have our own sense of style-what's yours?
