Burgundy by the Ore Dock
It’s officially fleece-and-flannel season in Marquette! I recently switched my wardrobe over to fall, and it has been so fun pulling out my favorite layers again and adding a couple of new pieces into the mix. I picked up this burgundy fleece during our trip to Grand Rapids from Sierra (linked it below from TJ Maxx!), and paired it with a burgundy plaid flannel I’ve owned for years. I always gravitate toward monochromatic looks, and I love how all of these similar autumn tones came together – seeing these two hanging next to each other in my closet was a bit serendipitous. Fall has always been my favorite season for personal style: lots of texture, rich colors, cozy layers and outfits that feel comfortable but still pulled together.
I also finally invested in a new pair of Blundstones, and I’m already so happy I did! I know these boots will last me for years, and this rustic brown color feels perfect for autumn and winter in the Upper Peninsula. They’re the kind of shoe I can wear for everyday walks around town, little road trips, brewery nights and plenty of upcoming outdoor adventures. This particular evening, Elliot and I walked over to Ore Dock Brewing for food from Dockside Galley and drinks with friends on their outdoor patio. We stopped for a few quick outfit photos on the walk home, and the golden-hour light against the Ore Dock was too perfect to pass up.
We snapped a few selfies together too, as we’re coming up on one year together this weekend – which feels especially magical during this time of year. There’s something about autumn that always makes me want to reminisce, reflect and appreciate the life I’m building here. Afterward, we headed home, where I edited photos, lit my pumpkin candle and watched Baby Boom for the coziest ending to a simple weeknight. I’m so excited for all of the fall adventures, photos and outfits still ahead. This season always passes far too quickly, so I’m trying to slow down, notice the golden light and embrace as much of it as I possibly can!
