Lara here, Girlboss’ contributing writer! 👋
From my TikTok feed to my IRL convos with my besties, one word seems to be popping up over and over again lately: whimsy. 💫
Apparently, everyone is craving new ways to embrace whimsy in their everyday (likely as an antidote to the “unprecedented” times we’re living in, welp 😰), and considering how the “2026 is the new 2016” trend has taken off this week, 🥸 it feels like whimsy goes hand-in-hand with the millennial optimism that we’re all so desperate to revisit. 🫶
