As I embrace my last few months of being a teenager, one important question remains about Newport: can it fulfill a VSCO girl's needs? For you uncultured and out-of-the-loop folk, VSCO is a photo and video editor app that anyone can use for free and share their creations, and a VSCO girl is a stereotype of a teenage girl who wears scrunchies, oversized sweatshirts/t-shirts, Nike shorts, Birkenstock shoes, Crocs, Vans, shell necklaces, tube tops, and jean shorts and always drinks from a hydro-flask. Fortunately, if you are a VSCO girl, Newport can satisfy your present VSCO needs.
First of all, it can satisfy your consumer VSCO needs. Even though there is a Claire's still open on Newport on the Levee to satisfy your scrunchy needs, I do not recommend going there because it smells awful, and, in addition, there are almost no other stores to shop at on the Levee in general, especially for you particular aesthetic desires. Instead, I recommend visiting the Newport Pavilion; the area, unlike the majority of Newport, is spaced out and has newer buildings and stores. Not a single building appears to be run down, and the whole area is visually appealing with greenery and stone walls to make the entire shopping experience more enjoyable. One of the stores is Target, which every teenage girl knows can satisfy any aesthetic need; Target sells scrunchies, a variety of clothing options, the iconic hydro-flasks, and Starbucks coffee, which can fulfill your stereotypical Starbucks photos. Furthermore, other stores include Famous Footwear, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Ulta to purchase your shoe, Nike shorts, and make-up necessities.
Second, among the construction of the city, there are some places to take aesthetically pleasing VSCO photos. One example is Press on Monmouth, a restaurant that specializes in making paninis, salads, gourmet soup, breakfast food, and pastries and serving espresso, coffees, and beers (https://pressonmonmouthnky.com/). Before you even walk into the restaurant, it already stands out among its surroundings. In contrast to the older and bland bank adjacent to it, the restaurant's exterior includes vibrant red brick, sturdy and bright blue window awnings, and a modern appealing hanging sign. Once you walk into the restaurant, the interior takes you by surprise. Once inside, I discovered mason jars and flower vases, a hanging and flashing blue "coffee" sign, wooden boxes of vegetation, and many other aesthetic decorations that make for great VSCO posts and creations. In addition to the decorations, the food and drink options also make for great photos. I personally only ordered an iced latte, which was attractive in its clear container, but the food and drink options around me and on the website all appeared to be created with visual care to enhance your VSCO game.
Thus, despite the hot mess of Newport construction and poverty, there are some gems within the city that can satisfy your VSCO desires and young needs, and this shows that the present Newport and the future Newport are attracting a younger audience.
