So fall doesn’t technically start until September 22nd but with the introduction of the Pumpkin Spice Latte fall has unofficially begun, and I couldn’t be happier. Fall means sweaters, less sweating and most of all, the end to crop top season. I know I know, it’s been great being able to show off your stomach in a crop top but ladies let’s be honest here, we all love the days when we can go out to dinner before the bars and order chicken parmigiana instead of splitting a side salad because it’s too cold to wear a skimpy top.
Another thing I love about fall? Hot drinks. No longer do I have to worry about the speed I drink my chai latte at because there’s no ice to turn it into a strange, murky water mixture. My third favorite thing about fall? The weather. Sure it’s nice to be able to go outside and get a tan but for all of us lazy people out there, fall brings us a much needed reason to stay inside and binge-watch everything we missed during the workweek. And it’s not like in the summer when everyone knows you sat inside because you’re pale. In fall you can be paler than Morticia Addams and no one judges you for it because everyone’s pale. Just kidding, I’m from Jersey so I’m never pale because I basically sleep in a tanning bed…but still, much less judgment when it comes to skin tone.
Fall is here and it’s wonderful. Here’s to hoping you never get stuck behind an amateur Starbucks customer when you’re trying to get your pumpkin spice latte.
