For all my faves,

I totally admit that I can be as basic as they come. Is the pH of my blood 14? Maybe.

Because I’m a basic betch, my favorite season is obviously fall. You can trust me when I say that I am counting the days until September 23 because yes, I actually looked up the season’s exact start date. I mean, fall is literally the best. Best color scheme? Yep. Crunchy leaves? Check. Not to mention that fall is the season of the PSL (pumpkin spice latte, for all our non-basic readers) and the start of sweater weather.

 

Unfortunately, I feel like being basic gets a bad rap. But see, being basic is actually one of the best lifestyle choices ever. It means I get to be obsessed with yoga without having to actually go; it means my life is filled with happy things like glitter and mason jars; it means nail art parties and cupcakes for days. Best of all, it means BRUNCH.

Not everyone gets that and that’s okay. They’re just missing out. I want all you basic betches to do you this fall. Now is our time. This is OUR season. The opportunity to Insta all the trees (Beebe Lake is a classic), down PSL’s, and break out the oversized sweaters, leggings, and riding boots only comes around once a year. In the wise words of Taylor Swift, “haters gonna hate.” So if you’ll excuse me, I have a fall Pinterest board to make.

XOXO,
