11 Fall Problems Every Woman Understands

​1. Leaving your house thinking you have the weather figured out and immediately realizing you are definitely too cold or too hot. But being way too tired to walk back up those stairs and doing anything about it because you already went to the gym today, so, no, thank you. 

2. Not totally being able to accept that short skirts without tights are no longer OK. So I have to wear tights, which are all in a massive clump in the pile of my closet, and I have to fish the ones I want out of the heap, and they're probably all tangled and weird? Fiiiine. 

3. Wanting a fall boyfriend so freaking badly but def not having one at all. And then telling yourself you'll totally take yourself apple picking but haha, please, you're not ever doing that, come on. 

4. When you get really psyched to wear your favorite fall sweater but realize it's wrinkled AF because it's been sitting at the bottom of a sweater pile since last fall. And smells so, so weird, so you just put it back in the pile to be worn again when you have absolutely no choice. ​

5. Opening your windows during the day because it feels nice, and then realizing you're living inside a freezer once 6 p.m. hits and you have to close all the windows. This happens to me every night at 8 and there is simply no remedy that I can see other than just getting mad every single day and living underneath a blanket at all times. 

6. Needing to keep, like, 50 layers on your person so you can add and subtract them throughout the day because morning and noon and night and 10 p.m. are all wildly different temperatures. 

7. Your skin is dry, but if you put moisturizer on, your face gets greasy because it's dry outside but not that dry outside yet so you're in skin texture limbo. 

8. Leaving your house with perfectly cute hair and then getting to work looking like you were inside a twister in the movie Twister. Because it's so freaking ~*WiNdY*~ and it's great that it's not hot anymore but also, could the wind not blow on you like it's trying to knock you into a trash can on the side of the road? Because that's definitely where you'd fall and it would not be adorable at all. 

9. All your sandals are dead to you but your winter boots make zero sense to wear, and yet slippers are not socially acceptable to wear outdoors. Hello, ankle boots. You are my only friend. 

10. Thinking that ending daylight saving time was going to solve all your problems but nope, surprise, because it gets dark at, like, 3 p.m. now and everything is dumb. So you basically have, like, four hours to get anything done during the day, but you won't really use any of those hours anyway and will instead sit inside until it's 3 p.m. because it seems chilly outside and then later say, "Well, there goes today!" 

11. When it's 62 degrees and you don't know if you should get hot or iced coffee. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LIVE LIKE THIS? Oh, yeah, it's gorgeous outside also. OK, fine.
