Fall in Dallas, Bucket List-1275

Corduroy Shirtdress || Tassel Flats || Belt (old similar listed) || Bag 

If you don’t already know, Matt and I split our time between New England and Dallas, Texas. It’s an odd match for sure, but Matt’s currently here for two years and since my work is mobile I can spend half my time with Matt, and the other half in New England. To be honest though, during this time of year and especially in summer I prefer New England, but with that being said, Dallas does have a lot to offer come fall. So I figured I sit down and share some of my go-to activities when I’m in the big D (as they say).

Since this could be Matt and I’s last fall in Dallas, we are trying to check off as much as possible, on our long bucket list. Today I figured I’d share a glimpse into our Fall in Dallas, Bucket List. Below, I broke down all my favorite places to go, unique things to see, and food to try; while here in Dallas for Fall. I hope this inspires you guys to embrace autumn no matter where you are.

This time of year just slips by us so quickly, and while I’ve already loaded up on Bath and Body Works Candles to remind me of this season all year long, I figured making a Fall in Dallas, Bucket list would hold me accountable in putting down the laptop and head outside.

From the not so brisk 72 degree fall air, to the hushed talk of football round the clock; Dallas might not have a conventional fall. You won’t see any apple orchards and forget about seeing any leaves but Texans have their own way of celebrating this season via college football.

So if you find yourself outside of New England and a tad sad you don’t have leafs crunching as you walk and apple orchards in every town, take some time to experience the fall around you. Ever region embraces this time of year differently and it’s good to get outside of your comfort zone. Trust me.

Anyway, I’d love to hear where you are spending this fall. Leave a comment down below and include where you are and what your favorite local activity is! xx AubreyFall in Dallas, Bucket List | The Coastal Confidence by Aubrey Yandow

  1. I love your list. I haven’t been to the fair in a long time. I am going to look into the train ride. That looks like a fun way to spend the day. Where did you find the cotton field? I would like to check that out one day too.

    1. I found the cotton field on the side of the highway actually. when Matt and I were driving around North Texas. It was so pretty, I couldn’t help but jump out and take some pictures. xx Aubrey

  2. We are in Nebraska and the fall season is so short here. We try to fit in as much as possible in the small window between summer and winter. From apple picking, pumpkin patches, fall movies and LOTS of baking. I love trying to make the most of it 🙂
