Fall is arguably every girl’s favourite season. We experience Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas plus the gorgeous weather that let’s all almost where anything. This is the time when basic girls emerge from their hibernation. We know how to kick off fall the right way. Beware of the pumpin-spice haters (they're everywhere). How many of these basic girl points did you hit?
1. Your multiple pairs of boots come out of hiding
We all have that one large box stored away full of boots. Cute burgundy suede boots, chic riding boots and three to four black boots for different occasions and outfits. It’s okay, we get it.
2. You get pumpkin spice lattes
This is so obvious it hurts. Even if it’s not your favourite drink on the menu, you’re going to order it at least once because it only comes on a season. It’s kind of like you have too.
3. You flood your Instagram with filtered images of the changing leaves
Better yet, a picture of you jumping into a pile of leaves. If I didn't Instagram it, did it really happen?
4. Your Facebook profile pic includes you standing next to a giant pumpkin
It has to be shared with my entire friend list so that everyone knows I spent all day searching for the perfect pumpkin. Which, let's be real, totally isn't the case.
5. You hop on that Halloween costume grind
Coordinating group outfits. What will we be this year? The PowerRangers are making a come back…
6. You've been googling makeup tutorials on YouTube
We kind of do this every season but it's especially important right now with the amazing things makeup artists can do to their face with some makeup. Like, I can't even properly cover up a pimple but this YouTuber has a pop can sticking out of her eye. It's magic and spooky... it's spooky magic.
7. You start wearing flannels all day, every day
The weather outside doesn't matter. Even on those odd warm days, I'll sweat through my flannel with pride.
8. You buy every fall-themed body lotion, wash, hand soap and candle available at Bath & Body Works
Cinnamon bun-scented hand soap? Yes, please.
9. You go apple picking in an orchard
Why wouldn’t you drive 30 minutes to the middle of no where, in the rain, to pay to pick your own apples? It’s tradition!
10. Bake a pie with those apples you picked at the orchard
After you've properly alerted friends and acquaintances through your tweets, Instagram and Facebook photos that you went apple picking, of course. Google a recipe and it’s time to get your Martha Stewart on.
11. Visit a haunted house with all your friends
Wonderland haunted house anyone? You can’t do it alone.
12. You spend way too much during holiday sales
A whole new range of outfits and accessories are calling my name! Swipe, swipe, swipe on you.
13. You wouldn't be caught dead without a scarf on
You wear them. Every. Single. Day. Infinity scarves, blanket scarves, the type is irrelevant. You have one to match every outfit, duh.
Whether you're willing to admit it or not, we all have a little bit of basic inside of us. It's an undeniable fact. Boots, pumpkin spice and everything nice. During fall, what's not to like?
