Chris's Closet
I am Christina, the hot pink of ChristinaKristin, welcome to my closet!
As I was falling asleep, I was trying to visualize my closet to think of something to wear, unfortunately I fell asleep before my mind pictured anything. I knew I wanted to be simple, but cute, and I thought of this black/white/grey sketch pattern dress. This dress has become a favorite of mine. My girlfriends and I do a fashion swap usually seasonally. A fashion swap is where a group of girlfriends get together and bring unwanted clothing items, and swap them for something else.(We will facilitate a fashion swap for you and your girlfriends at a location of your choice, feel free to contact us!) This event saves me from having to shop, and I get items that I wouldn't otherwise purchase. Although I love this dress, if I saw it in a store I would not buy it, I'm not sure why, I just know I wouldn't. The dress is from The Gap, not sure of the price and when it was purchased. I should have taken my jacket off because the neckline is asymmetrical, super cute.
I found another dress at http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=82417&vid=1&pid=914028002. This dress is similar it is printed and the silhouette is close to my dress in the picture.
The belt is a golden yellow faux camel hair belt from Target. This was my first time wearing it, I bought it about 2 months ago, but didn't have anything to wear it with. I contemplated returning the belt, but I hung on to it, I'm glad I did. Pairing this bright belt with the dreary ensemble brought some life to my whole outfit. I accentuated it by adding gold jewelry. This belt is online at http://www.target.com/p/merona-hair-on-belt-yellow/-/A-14140674#prodSlot=medium_1_3&term=yellow%20belt.
If you read my bio you should know that I love tights, and I buy all kinds. I think I got these fishnet tights from Target, they have a GREAT selection of legwear. I was drawn to these because they are not your ordinary fishnet tights.
Here are a variety of tights from Target: http://www.target.com/p/merona-women-s-patterned-tights-collection-assorted-colors-patterns/-/A-14262951#prodSlot=large_2_2
My not so simple black pumps are Steve Madden, I purchased these shoes literally years ago from Macy's or Nordstrom, I can't remember which one. I love these shoes because they will jazz up any outfit. These shoes are not really similar, but would look super cute with tights and a dress: http://www.bakersshoes.com/p-258593-KALEY-PLATFORM-PUMP.aspx
My necklace, bracelets and ring are all Stella & Dot. You can find them at www.stelladot.com/christinajovonn. This black leather clutch is from a thrift store, I cannot recall which one, I am sure that is was somewhere around $1.99.
These button earrings were a birthday gift from Kristin, they were shown in a previous post. She bought them in Lebanon at Miller's Antique Market, and they came with a necklace. I have so much black & gold jewelry so I can wear them with almost anything. They are black enamel with gold trim and a gold flower motif in the center.

Until next time, Ciao!
