How to Do a September Dump on Instagram

It's hard to deny that the colors of fall are reds, oranges and yellows, especially for those who live near fall foliage. No matter where you are, lean into these shades, along with the feelings of coziness and warmth that come with fall when writing your quotes or captions to welcome September. Think of incorporating pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking, putting on a cozy sweater or stealing one last beach hurrah before temps drop. Of course, using a Taylor Swift lyric for your September caption will never go out of style either.
