How to have a cool girl autumn, inspired by Taylor Swift's 2014 Tumblr post
Drop everything now, because autumn leaves are falling down like pieces into place... and we can *definitely* picture it. We don't know about you, but Taylor Swift does fall like no other.
If you've been on SwiftTok at all, you've probably seen Taylor's reenactment of her 2014 Tumblr post dedicated to all things fall.
@taylorswift Basic autumn lovers RISE ππ§£#imsohappy #hellofall #swifttok β¬ I LOVE THE FALL - Taylor Swift
Ngl, this post is ingrained in our minds forever and always (it literally is our November flush and flannel cure). Because Taylor does it best, we're bringing her post to life with this ultimate fall guide.

Taylor and fall fashion? Say less. Chilly weather is on its way (eeee!) and that means pulling out all the stops for the seasonal vibes.
To adjust for current trends, opt for fall beanies or baseball caps with chunky colorful scarves (just don't leave it at your BF's sister's house, iykyk)! And wait, don't forget "plaid stuff and ANKLE BOOTS" and "maroon/hunter green/mustard yellow color combos!"
"Not caring when people make fun of pumpkin flavored stuff cause you LOVE IT"
PSLs, anyone? From pumpkin bread to pumpkin cream cheese to pumpkin waffles, it really is an autumn rite of passage. Tap into the fall flavor feeling by trying the Starbies seasonal drinks or incorporating pumpkin into every recipe possible. It's time to pull up to Trader Joe's, because tbh, we really do love pumpkin.
"And people who dress their dogs in costumes on Halloween"
Don't pass up on the fuzzy fall funsies, like, srsly.
Step on every crunchy leaf you see, "draw pictures on foggy windows," pull out the Ugg boots you've been waiting to wear and, ofc, dress up your furry friends in the cutest Halloween costumes. And we know Taylor loves a good cat cuddle...throw that in our extensive list, too.
"Baking your first fall batch of cookies but you put too much cinnamon in it"
Baking szn is back, and making Taylor's famous chai cookies is a *must*. If you ask us, fall baking should be a full-on experience. Put on Gilmore Girls in the background, light an apple spice candle and get chef-ing.
