Summer’s End

Posted on by With Love, Kristina

You guys, it is officially fall now! Can you believe it? And despite the fact that I have been itching for fall to finally be here, somehow I dressed like spring. Go figure.

But now I can wear sweaters, and tights, and colorful pants (I bought purple skinny jeans and red skinny jeans at Target yesterday; they have SO many on sale in a plethora of colors!) and scarves without anyone complaining that it’s still summer and I should not be wearing those things.

And today, to celebrate fall… I am sick. I can’t say I’m complaining though, because I’m weird and sometimes I like a good sick day to give me an excuse to lay around and not do anything productive. Not that I like being sick, but I can’t really change it so I might as well be positive, right?

So today, I’m going to ingest ridiculous amounts of tea and coffee, lay on the couch, and surf Modcloth for a new pair of fall shoes. Because I really, really need some new shoes. I swear, I wear the same five pairs of shoes every day with very little variation.

Then again, what I lack in amounts of shoes, I make up for in amounts of skirts. (As of right now, I own 38 skirts.)

Further proof that I cannot resist make faces while wearing lipstick.

And also, proof that I am more of a dork that you guys ever know. 😉

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much of my personality actually gets onto the blog, and how much of my life is really shared. Spurred by Naomi (you guys might recognize her sister, Annebeth, of The Styling Dutchman. Seriously, Naomi and Annebeth are the CUTEST sisters ever.) and how beautifully real her blog is, I realized that I’ve been unconsciously censoring what gets on the blog. Probably because I know that people I am friends with in real life read this  blog, and it’s scary to share with people I really know.

So, future goal: share real life. Even if I think it’s boring. Share the pictures where I’m being a total dork, even if they’re not perfect and possibly make me look bad. Because that’s me. I’m weird. I sing childishly at the top of my lungs, off key on purpose, when nobody is home. And, sometimes, when people ARE home. I talk in baby voices frequently. I speak to myself in various random accents. I sing songs to my cat in meows.

Basically, I’m just a spaz.

What about you? Are there things about your personality that you consciously or unconsciously censor from your blog? Do you find it scarier to share with people you know than to share with complete strangers?

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday! Happy FALL!!!

  1. This outfit makes you like a tango dancer! I’m so happy Autumn is here 🙂

    I get what you are saying about the whole sharing personal stuff on a blog that’s read by people you know in real life. I feel the same way! I’m starting to feel awkward that I can’t post really personal things because I feel maybe someone who reads (who also sees me in real life) will judge me. But when it’s completely anonymous, you’re free to write whatever.

    So…long story short, I feel ya 🙂

    1. Haha! I never would have seen that until you said something.

      Yeah, anonymity gives you the security to rant or say whatever you want with no repercussions (mostly), but knowing people in real life read your blog… you can’t say just anything.

      Which is probably a good thing, but at the same time it’s a little restricting. Oh well.

  3. First of all, I love this outfit and these photos. Gorgeous.

    And I totally have the same problem about sharing personal things on my blog. One, I think my real-life stuff is boring. Two, my mom reads my blog and there are things I’ll be more comfortable not telling her 😛 But I applaud your attempt to make your blog more personal and more relatable!

    1. Thank you!

      Yeah, I tend to think my life is a little boring. Or I forget the funny things. But at least my family doesn’t read my blog, even if they do know it exists.

  4. I’m going to agree that you look beautiful in all these photos, even the dorky ones 🙂 Sometimes they’re the best photos! And I wish I lived near a thrift store – we have charity shops in the UK but they don’t tend to give beautiful things like your dress 🙂
    I share more on my blog because no one in my real life (apart from my Hairy) actually reads it so I can be honest and open!
    I wish I owned 38 skirts! Actually I’d rather own 38 dresses, but I’m working up to it 🙂

  6. i love your retro style so much! those heels are too adorable to handle

  11. I try to include a little of my crazy in almost every post, honestly. Sometimes it gets away from me when I’m focusing on something serious, but it’s all part of my blog for me. I like that more of you is coming out as you go.

  13. Happy fall to you too! You look adorable! I love these colors together so much and those shoes are fantastic.
    I, too, censor from my blog, but I tend to just censor certain things I talk about. I should probably get over that though!
