Fall is every basic girl's favorite season. The leaves are changing, the smell of pumpkin spice is in the air and the summer clothes are put away. Here are the eight things every girl needs for the fall:
1. Pumpkin Spice Lattes
Three words: pumpkin spice lattes. When Starbucks announces that PSLs are back, the line is out the door. It doesn’t matter when the calendar says the first day of fall is, as soon as PSLs are on the menu, fall is in the air.
2. Scarves
No one uses a scarf to stay warm; they are a key accessory that signify the changing of the season. As soon as the first leaf falls, every girl breaks out her sweaters and scarves even if she wears them with a sundress.
3. Pumpkin Carving
No girls love the idea of scooping out the inside of a pumpkin, but when it comes to getting an Instagram of the final product, it’s worth it. Whether it’s calligraphy, flowers, or a classic jack-o-lantern face, every basic girl loves to get together with her friends, boyfriend, or family to carve the perfect pumpkin.
4. Boots
Thigh high boots are every basic girl’s must for the fall. You will need them in black, dark brown, and tan to match every possible outfit you wear between from the end of September to the beginning of December. They are dressy and casual while also keeping you warm through the cool months. Pair them with leggings and an oversized sweater and you are ready for fall.
5. Fall Makeup Tutorials
Bronzed, glowing skin is out and matte, cool-tone makeup is in. Every basic girl will religiously watch her favorite YouTubers to see what taupe eyeshadow and dark lipstick to buy at Sephora. After the look is complete, it’s all about getting the perfect photo to post on Instagram to show off your skills.
6. Instagram Themes
Cool tones and oranges take over every basic girl’s Instagram. Before you know it, you can tell the different seasons just from the filters on every photo.
7. Halloween Movies
Everything from "Hocus Pocus" to "Twitches" is aired on Disney and every basic girl is ready to get cozied up with popcorn and a pumpkin spice latte to watch every one multiple times.
8. Matching Costumes with Friends
Halloween is a chance to wear a skimpy costume or get creative. Every basic girl has her couples costume or a group costume planned weeks in advance. Whether it’s Netflix and chill or the entire cast of "Friends," every basic girl is dressed up on October 31.
