Fall is right around the corner and, for many, it's the best season ever. However, others fear this season because of one thing — the return of the Basic White Girl. But while they're over there hating on us, they don't realize all the amazing things they're missing out on.
Here are the top five reasons why you should be a Basic White Girl this fall.
1. Carving pumpkins is fun.
While you may wonder why we needed to take a picture with the pumpkin, we wonder why not to take the picture. We've spent just as much time picking out that pumpkin you see in our Instagram as we did searching Pinterest for carving ideas. The picture of us with the pumpkins are for us, not you, because we had a great time going to pick out the pumpkins with friends and family.
2. Pumpkin anything is delicious.
People who don't drink Pumpkin Spice Lattes (or eat anything pumpkin-flavored), because they're labeled basic, are just missing out. Since they're only offered for a limited time, we have to take advantage of the opportunity. If you want to hate on us, we don't care; we're too busy enjoying our pumpkin-flavored treats.
3. Leggings and oversized sweaters are super comfortable.
This is another example of something people hate on, but if they tried it, they'd love it and be obsessed with it too. It's no longer summer, and we no longer have to worry about showing off our bikini-ready stomachs and our tan legs. So in the early, crisp fall mornings, when its too much effort to pull on a pair of jeans, we lean towards our trusted leggings and sweaters. But really, any and all fall fashions are our favorites, because fall fashion is hands-down the cutest.
4. Baking.
After you've made your trip to the apple orchard, you get to make apple pies or apple whatever you want. Nothing is better on a crisp fall day then some homemade cookies. So, to everyone who thinks baking is basic, you just won't get any pie.
5. Dressing up for Halloween isn't just for little kids.
If you're a Basic White Girl, chances are you already know what you're going to be for Halloween. You and your friends have been talking about it since August a lot of planning goes into it! You want to be clever and cute obviously, but those costumes don't happen overnight. Some people think we try too hard, but we love it. Go hard or go home.
