Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) July 21, 2012

Kris's Closet

Inspired by great bloggers like Folake of Style Pantry and Tamia of The Style Sample, we decided to open up our closets to the world as well. We are ChristinaKristin of Columbus,Ohio. We are two women close in age, with two different takes on style and completely different personalities. The best way to describe us if personalities were colors would be red and hot pink. I am the red personality because I am usually wild, passionate and bold with fashion and in life. My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Saturday I got up at 7am, packed a bag and headed to Kelleys Island with the fella. The Kelleys Island Festival was going on. I was not sure what that was but I love festivals so I wanted to go.  We had lunch in Sandusky at Water Street Bar & Grille while we waited for the boat to the islands. When we got to Kelley's Island, we had a drink at Casino then we rented a golf cart and explored the island. We stopped at Kelleys Island Wine Co. and had the wine sampler and some cheese, stopped to admire the Glacial Grooves State Monument and did a little shopping at Vi's Island Treasures. Then we hopped on a boat to Put in Bay and had dinner at a new restaurant called The Keys where I had amazing conch fritters. We took the pictures just outside of the restaurant entrance before we went in. This is what I wore.

I wore a white jumpsuit with multi-colored childlike tulips and graffiti all over it that I got from a seller on etsy for $16 plus shipping. I paired the jumpsuit with a yellow linen blazer that I bought at a thrift store on the west side of Columbus for $1.00. Click on links to view similar jumpsuits and blazers.

This is a clutch that I have carried before that I got from a thrift store in Circleville for $1.00. I suggested similar clutches for this on Kris's Closet blog 7/8/12. The rings are five year old Forever 21 accessories from when I use to be an assistant visual merchandiser there. They are 70's inspired lucite plastic rings. I located some fun lucite rings.

My necklace is a vintage piece I got from one of my favorite places in Columbus in the Short North called Funky & Functional. It is a hologram rose. My earrings are a repeat pair, I wore them in my 7/8/12 blog and offered suggestions. I could not locate anything close to my necklace so I don't have any suggestions for that.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you for stopping by!

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!
