Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog. In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet,learn where I found them

 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

After being shut in a week from being sick, I was ready to get out. Saturday I met my sister out for a cocktail at Double Happiness. We hung out for an hour then went to Marshalls for another cocktail. I didn't stay out too late because I had a photo shoot in the morning with ten darling little girls. I took these photos at Double Happiness. This is what I wore.

I got this jumper last summer when I was in Chicago. I found it at a suburban thrift store. I think it is actually an old uniform of some sort but I thought it would make a great outfit. I was right. I ended up wearing this because it was the only thing that fit me after trying two other outfits. I have gained a bit of weight since dating Leo. 

I accessorized the jumper with snake inspired accessories. I am wearing a vintage stretch scale belt backwards. The claps is decorative and I didn't want to take away from my other accessories. There are lots of similar belts on etsy.com like this one at:

I broke these earrings in after having them since September. I bought them at the Delaware County Fair from a vendor. I located a similar pair of earrings at:

My purse is vintage Whiting & Davis. It was originally my grandma's. My sister had it and I got it from her at a clothing swap. I am rocking a small portion of my stacked wrist collection. My two outside bracelets are Stella & Dot and the middle one I just bought from Valley Thrift Store in Dayton. The bottom bracelet is the Artemis Cuff. Find it at: http://www.stelladot.com/shop/en_us/p/jewelry/bracelets/artemis-cuff?s=christinajovonn The top bracelet is the Kalahari Bangle at:  http://www.stelladot.com/shop/en_us/p/jewelry/bracelets/kalahari-bangle?s=christinajovonn

My python color-block peep-toe pumps are by Aldo from last spring season. Color-blocking is still very much on trend so I plan to get some more wear out of these this year since I didn't wear them much last year. Here are some similar shoes I located online at:

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

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

Kris,

My sister and I at Double Happiness.
