Who knew?

I like crazy just as much as the next girl.

Sometimes, people around these parts, stare at me.

Wondering what I am wearing.

But I feel like if I was in a city or a more, lets say, fashion forward town, I would fit right in {but where would the in that be?}.

But I live here and my cozy little town is what it is.

And I am weird here.

I wear "crazy" things.

Like these pants.

And to tell you the truth, I never would have thought I would wear "leather" pants.

But I do. And I love them.

Y'all are witnessing the evolution of Kirsten Postma.

 

 

Funny

I love to share funny things

And so I am sharing this HILarious site with you.

It's called When Parents Text.

And let me tell you, many hours at work were wasted reading these.

So check it.

 

{this one is one of my favs!}

{and this one.}

{seriously so many.}

 



Obsessed

 

 Shirt-H&M, Pants-Gap, Belt-Jacob, Shoes-Old Navy

 

 

 

I do this thing, where I like a trend or style of something and I become obsessed.

I need it in every color and type.

This has happened with peplum.

I wasn't a huge fan of it at first, but then I found a cheap version at Target and now I'm in love.

I think the selling point, is that it comes away from the body right at my stomach.

So. I can stuff my face with food, and no one is the wiser to my expanding stomach.

I was staring at my closet trying to decide what to wear to a fundraiser dinner {buffet. perfect for face stuffing} and saw this peplum, and thought to myself ...umm duh.

And so, this is what I wore.

 



Trusty Tripod

 Shirt-Gap, Pants-Target, Belt-Jacob, Shoes-Old Navy, Tie-Random

 

The Mr is out of town again and so out of the closet my good friend the tripod came.
And his sidekick the remote.

Nothing like standing in your yard awkwardly posing while the builders across the street stare at you...probably wondering what the heck is happening.

 

I felt so fallish in this outfit.

I just love the necktie look that seems to be everywhere this Fall!

I'm too cheap to get this gorgeous leather necktie so I just used an old sash thing I found in my belt drawer.

 

 

I would love to hear what Fall trends all y'all are into or dying to try!

Content.

Wanna know a little secret?

I have the hardest time being content.

I am always onto somthing else.

Always "needing" something else.

Sometimes, I think that blogging and pinterest and even other peoples blogs add to that.

On a blog, everything can look perfect.

We pick the pretty and happy things to put out into the world.

And so looking at other peoples blogs, you can think, man they look happy and perfect.

If only I had {blank} like they have...then my life might be perfect too.

 

Lately, I have been saying yes to everything and no to nothing and have found myself completely swamped.

I felt like I had no time to just relax, clean, read a book.

So I took a day off.

Of everything.

Work.

Friends.

Errands.

And stayed home.

I made a list of all the things around the house I needed to catch up on.

I was through my list by noon.

Now what?

 Me and Duke took a little walk.

It was a gorgeous Fall day.

I took the camera and just snapped as we walked.

And something happened.

Time seemed to stand still for me.

I live amongst beauty and nature.

I know this.

I see it everyday.

But in seeing it everyday, I missed it too.

I was so overwhelmed with Gods amazing grace and love for us that he would surround us with His beauty.

He makes His presence so known to us everyday in the way the light comes through the trees and the way the air smells in Fall.

And I was so content.

Content with where He has put me.

Content with Him.

Just Him.

All I need is Him.

 

So all of this to say, I need to make more time to just walk around.

Take a breath.
And meditate on Gods amaing love for me, an unworthy sinner.

The more busy I get, the more wrapped up in this world I get.

And then I need more, want more, of what this world has to offer.

But that isn't going to fill me up.

That isn't going to make me perfect or happy.
Only He will.

Him and His peace that He fills me up with, when I just stop and let Him.

 

 



Man Style

Shirt-Hurley{Marshalls}, Cord-Old Navy, Shoes-DC?

 

 

Not gonna lie, I tricked Travis into taking these pics.

I was all, posing is hard...you try.

And so he did.

And then I put them on the internet.

But how could I not?

He is just to cute.

And, he dressed himself.

Lets not tell him about this mmkay?

It'll be out little secret.

 

Leather and Hearts

 

Sweater-J Crew, Pants-F21, Shoes-Target, Watch-Nordstrom

 

 

 I am totally not a heart person.

In fact, when I put on this sweater, Travis was shocked and asked me if it was a heart to make sure.

Not sure what else it looks like....

And these pants are called coated pants.

They look like leather.

I was nervous about these pants.

So this whole outfit was a little out of my comfort zone.

But, I loved it!

This sweater is the best ever. So comfy and I already have a bunch of ideas of outfits for it.

And these pants.

Also love.

I made Travis call me Sandy all day.

{that was a Grease reference if you didn't catch it. And if you didn't....shame on you.}
