With fall finally upon us, we are trading in our short-shorts and tank tops for jeans and the oh so popular infinity scarves. The hype of summer is melting away and the excitement for fall trends is in full force.
We are ready to move onto the season of hibernation, trendy outfits, Starbucks obsessions and football. In the spirit of the leaves changing colors and dropping temperatures, here are six simple joys we can all indulge in.
1. The campus-wide infatuation with Starbucks. No fall outfit is complete without the proper accessory -- the Starbucks cup. Not only does it bring a warm feeling during the adjustment to the brisk weather, it is the prefect touch to that Pinterest perfect outfit we are all guilty of wanting.
2. Pumpkin patch excursions. What is fall without taking a trip to the pumpkin patch, snapping some super cute pictures with your girls and then attempting to carve the most creative design. I think we can all agree that carving a pumpkin is more work than fun. I tend to stick with the original triangle eyes and one tooth design.
3. The boys' favorite holiday of them all, Halloween. Whether you're going for the sexy nurse look or the cute kitty, you're guaranteed to blend in with every other girl on campus even with the shortest of shorts.
4. Adios bikinis, hello hibernation and big sweaters! The relief of not having to see yourself in a bikini has finally come. Here's to the few months we have of stuffing our faces and feeling bloated because what can a big sweater not hide?
5. Football, football, and more football. Some of us may be those fans who leave the game after we've had your few moments of cheering, or the fans who sit in front of the TV looking like we're watching the game, but we are really there for the food. Regardless, football season provides an opportunity each week to enjoy good food and drinks, along with the company of others.
6. The perfect fall outfit. Boots, jeans, sweaters, scarves and beanies -- the essentials for the perfect fall outfit. Walking to class has never felt better as you strut your stuff in your fashionable, but warm get up.
Sooner than you know it, we'll be saying bye-bye to fall and hello to winter. So as the blissful season of fall approaches us, remember to take in the beauty it has to offer.
