Since arriving in Copenhagen in August, the weather here has not mirrored the typical weather in the States. There was only one rare day where I managed to wear a pair of shorts without freezing my bum off! My outfits du jour usually consists of a pair of jeans or a skirt with tights, a sweater, and a J.Crew quilted jacket. Despite such a fall-like wardrobe, the city unfortunately does not reflect the Autumn season...no pumpkin spice lattes, hay rides, or apple picking; changing leaves are even a sparse sighting. However, with my love of Fall, I refuse to miss out on this beautifully crisp and refreshing season! Therefore, with the help of Pinterest (of course) I have come up with a list of fun ways to incorporate a United States Autumn in Copenhagen!
1) Bean Boots! This weekend, my parents are visiting me (SO EXCITED) and luckily they had some extra room in a suitcase to pack my LL Bean Boots! Nothing screams Fall like cozy socks peaking out from the top of Bean Boots!
2) Apple Pie! This past weekend, two girls from my apartment sweetly made homemade apple pie for the floor. Yum! The warm cinnamon-y apples and scoop of vanilla ice cream was the perfect reminder of a Pennsylvania Autumn.
3) Plaid Button Down! Earlier this semester, I picked up a men's plaid button down from my program's free market. Although a few sizes too big, wearing a plaid shirt put me in a festive Fall spirit!
4) Botanical Garden! Only a ten minute walk from my building is a beautiful park dotted with trees and a stunning lake. Fingers crossed that as the Autumn progresses, the leaves start to change color and release that scent that only comes once a year!
5) Pumpkin Candle! Scented candles are not common in Copenhagen, but I am not easily discouraged. With the help of Google and random strolls, I am determined to purchase a pumpkin scented candle to really bring Fall to Copenhagen!
