Average Fashion Blogger Is TikTok's Unsung Style Icon
For many of us, quarantine fashion translates to whatever is cozy 一 and sometimes cute. If you've been fortunate enough to spend most of your days lounging in sweatpants or leggings, just know that we're right there with you. In uncertain times, it's nice to feel a sense of camaraderie when it comes to getting dressed 一 which is precisely why I'm so thankful for Courtney Parchman, aka @averagefashionblogger, and her LOL-worthy TikToks that are all too relatable. Parchman (known as "Corny" to her friends) prides herself on making videos that celebrate bodies of all shapes and sizes, and simultaneously calls out the fashion industry for its complicity in propagating unrealistic beauty standards. Over a year into lockdown, it's the wry humor and hilarity that I desperately need in my life.
Here, Parchman talks to POPSUGAR about the origin of the viral TikTok account, her favorite bloggers to follow, and what must-haves she's eyeing for spring.
POPSUGAR: Why did you decide to start the TikTok account?
Courtney Parchman: I started making comedic videos back in December 2016, when I was still in college. It was the week of finals, which is always when I am my absolute funniest self, and [I] asked a friend to feature me on her fashion blog. I realized how funny it would be to make a parody fashion account that had all of my outfits on it 一 that typically consist of sweats 一 and make fake tutorials. It was made just to make my friends laugh, and I believe the heart of it remains the same.
PS: What do you hope your followers will take away from it?
CP: I hope my followers leave my page knowing that it's OK to be really silly and not care so much about being the perfect person. I think social media can be a really toxic and competitive environment, but I hope when they come to my page, they feel like they can just laugh about anything and poke fun at themselves. I just want to make people feel a little better each day.
