As Fall approaches, we're beginning to be bombarded by outfits consisting of riding boots or Uggs, leggings, a slouchy sweater, and an infinity scarf, on top of literally pumpkin spice everything and holiday beverages being released earlier and earlier. Admit it, you like or own at least one of those things. For reference, see this Pin below that I'm pretty sure most people have pinned. Am I above the leggings, riding boot, slouchy top and circle scarf ensemble? No, and unless you're some edgy fashion blogger, model, or celebrity who gets the latest trends for free, neither are you.

Preppy Is More Than Just A Lifestyle

Once, A Guy Called Me Basic

Okay, so besides obnoxiously calling you out and revealing how basic I actually am, I'm sure you're kind of wondering what my point is. My point is that everyone is a little bit basic sometimes. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Declaring yourself superior just because you don't like something that is popular does not make you cooler or superior to anyone unless you're in middle school. Are there some people that are just effortlessly cool and do not seem to have a basic bone in their body? Sure, they seem that way, but it's actually part of some really contrived persona and they also try really hard to make it seem like they do not try that hard. Oxymoron much? And then there are the people that are legitimately not basic because they live a really alternative lifestyle and while they instead, are labeled weird and are rejected by society. So it seems, as females in this harsh, harsh world, we really can't win.

Maybe this then means, we should stop shaming each other for our likes, dislikes, and lifestyles all-together. I'm gonna list a few things that are commonly done/ enjoyed by people and instead of judging each other, we're going to be proud that there is so much in this world to love.

Leggings, because hey, they're comfy.

Patterned leggings, because they're fun.

Lululemon, because I'm keeping with the legging theme.

Victoria Secret

Starbucks

Target because OMG DEALZ.

Kate Spade, because it's good quality and not completely unattainable.

Lilly Planners because if you buy a cute planner you'll actually stay on top of things right?

Now try and tell me you don't like A SINGLE ONE of these things. Pretty hard, huh? Why? Because they are all really cool, nice, things that are perfectly acceptable to like and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not gonna say that people aren't going to judge you if you "live" for all of these things, like legitimately every one of them, but that's fine. You do you. Let's celebrate liking commonly liked things, stop being mean to each other and unite.
