What is basic? It’s a question many of us sit and ponder on. Well, if you are really pondering the answer to this you are probably, in fact, basic. My personal definition of basic would be one who is, overall lacking originality, has disproportionate excitement for ordinary things, and performs actions that are typical of other individuals classified as basic.
Fall is the perfect season to let your inner basic diva out! I know I am, and I’m embracing it. So how can you do it?
1. Pumpkin Spice Latte
They’re finally back, and it’s time to drink as many as you can. Plus, a Starbucks cup can always match your outfit.
2. Pumpkin Beer
Why not alcohol?
3. Buy anything that says pumpkin spice
It's the only time to do this, and you must stock up.
4. Uggs
Haters gonna hate, but they’re so comfy. It doesn’t hurt how warm they are.
5. Riding Boots
Comfy, cute, and they go with everything.
6. Infinite Scarves
Go buy one in every color and pattern, and then wear them with every sweater.
7. Oversized Sweaters
So comfy, and they look great with a PSL in hand.

9. Leggings
Who wants to wear jeans during the fall and winter? Leggings go with everything, and they allow you to gain your winter weight. Doesn't hurt that they make your butt look great.

14. Flannels
Not really buying them for the warmth, but more so because you just look good in it.

Get one in every style, and add a monogram if you can. They’ll look great with all outfit choices, and will keep you a little warmer.

Find the perfect chilly night, and buy the ingredients for S’mores. Make sure to Instagram it though.

Make sure to find a group of girls who are just as basic as you, and coordinate your outfits to match.
Go as loofa's, cops, or just put on some animal ears!On a serious note, I'll be basic all fall, and I can't wait to sport my Starbucks cup to class while wearing my vest, flannel, and riding boots. If people are going to call you 'basic', embrace it. I've learned you just have to laugh at yourself, and ignore the haters. Ya know, haters gonna hate, you just gotta shake it off. Do you, boo.
