To my favorite season:
You're perfect. Your weather, your looks, your activities. There's nothing about you that I would change. You make the other three seasons look dull and boring in comparison. Without fail, you are filled with the best holidays, best fashion, best foods and best weather. Simply put, I love everything about you.
I love fall weather. I love when the leaves change colors. I love the rain. I love the falling leaves. I love the rain falling onto the fallen leaves. It's just cool enough to wear big sweatshirts and sweaters to keep you warm without needing a giant marshmallow coat (don't get me wrong, I love those too!). The weather allows for the best fashion trends to come out.
There is nothing I'd rather wear than a baggy sweater, some leggings and my Bean boots. Besides, maybe, a baggy sweater, some leggings (jeggings if I'm feeling adventurous) and my tall leather boots. Or maybe an army jacket or a dress with dark colored tights. Not only is fall the perfect opportunity for the best clothes, it also inspires the best colors. Deep maroons, olives, and mustards are inspired by the leaves and are plentiful during the fall. Even neutral colors are inspired by fall- the lack of green and the presence of dirt and frost. Fall time is the best for going out on adventures and trying new things.
If you're trying new things, and you haven't tried a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks yet, you're missing out on the entire meaning of fall! Just kidding. But seriously, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks have some of the best drinks! And if you're not into coffee, add pumpkin to your chai tea. It's delicious. Really, anything pumpkin flavored takes the cake this month. Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin scones, pumpkin cake and pumpkin pie are the meaning of the fall season! And if you're not one for pumpkin, hot cocoa and salted caramel anything are perfect. Or just give pumpkin a second chance?
Two holidays revolve around pumpkins- both conveniently featured in the fall time. If you like dressing up, like I do, Halloween is great. For just one night, you get to be a whole new person! And more importantly, get free candy. (Pumpkin flavored candy?) And when you've finished up all of the Halloween candy, you have thanksgiving to look forward to! Pumpkin pie, apple pie, really any kind of pie rocks.
So thank you, fall, for all that you bring. You're my favorite season for many reasons and please don't ever change.
xoxo,
a fall lover
