   The colors of the leaves may not have begun to change yet, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t getting a head start on their fall and winter attitudes. Outerwear shopping, latte consumption, couple cuddling, or cat snuggling everyones “fall-ing.” This time of year one may be becoming more aware of their relationship statuses, fashion choices and social life as the weather begins to push people inside, but there’s no need to worry about what you’ll be doing or wearing anymore. Here’s your survival guide to sweater weather!

Fall/ Winter Couples

    Cuddlings Cute, But Don’t Brag:

    We all know how nice it is to have that partner to snuggle and drink hot cocoa with when the rain begins to roll in, but remember the little people. The single beings still walk in public too, and not everyone wants to see the physical love, so keep it to a minimum. However, enjoy the cold weather with that special someone and all of the activities available during this time of the year.

   All the Single Ladies… And Men:

    Don’t sit around waiting for Prince or Princess Charming to walk into your life. Fall/Winter should be a happy time for everyone, so don’t pout about the winter love birds. Don’t sit indoors cuddling your pets all day, instead hang with friends or even your friends who are couples. When you’re out having a good time, who knows who might join you...

Sweater Shopping

    The key component to any fall/ winter outfit is a nice, cozy sweater. We all have them in our closet in all different colors and designs, but if you’re looking for some new ideas try these:

   1. Nordstrom: This department store is large carrier in designer brands if you’re looking for a sweater on the classier side.

   2. Forever 21 and H&M: These stores can also be found in the mall, but are more affordable than the larger department stores and offer more edgy options.

   3. Thrift Stores: If you’re looking to stand out with your sweater or want something no one else has a thrift store is the perfect place to shop. Though the sweaters are used, they still look great.

Lattes

  Starbucks or Coffee Bean?

  If you’re looking to get out with friends and want to enjoy the many seasonal lattes, go on a hunt. Searching for the best latte in town with your friends is a great way to be social and drink fall/ winter’s infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, latte hunting doesn’t have to be a one-day extravaganza. Spread out your latte adventures as casual get togethers and pick-me-ups over the fall and winter seasons to thoroughly enjoy the season.  

With a guide to the fall and winter seasons, now you should never be bored or lonely in these seasons again.
