Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) August 29, 2014


Kris's Closet


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!


It has been a while since either of us has posted and the summer is coming to a close. My apologies. I have had a very busy summer exploring the city with my nephew and the state with my big guy. Honestly, I have been more comfortable than stylish in most occasions and when I did get dressed, I was so in the moment that I didn't take the time to pose for photos. Well, this past Friday I went to the Fashion Meets Music Fest in Columbus. With the season changing, I took advantage of the clearance rack at Forever 21 and put together a quick outfit. Literally, I was in and out in less than twenty minutes. For the Fest I wanted to be stylish ad fun since it was both a fashion and music festival. The shirt and skirt was around $19 including tax. This is what I came up with.

Shirt: Forever 21 clearance rack $7
Parrot Skirt:  Forever 21 clearance rack $10
Belt: 80's vintage (I added the red wooden bead)
Lace Bra: Victoria's Secret
Ear cuff: My late father's jewelry box
Necklace: Vintage
Bracelets:hautelook.com
Sunglasses: D&G Aviators
Handbag: Thrift Store
Shoes: Believe it or not I am wearing Naturalizer slide on wedges!




Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!
Kris,

Fashion Meets Music Fest Highlights!

I really enjoyed the Festival. I love fashion and music both so much that the idea of this festival was a dream. I have to say while the festival was entertaining, it fell a little short for me. I spent all of Friday there and felt the festival could have been better organized. Maybe I had high hopes. Since the Festival is very new, I expect that it will only get better. The positives were learning of the different fashion groups in the city along with the designers that utilize their resources. One of my favorite showcases was Torn Angel which was a part of the Alternative Fashion Mob showcase on Friday. The music portion was even better, I saw Michelle Williams and was so enamored by her.  I have always been a fan of Destiny's Child, specifically Kelly and Beyonce but I became a fan of Michelle that day. She was charming, sweet and felt so relatable. She even walked into the crowd where she shook hands, hugged and took selfies with the crowd. I left wanting to purchase her album. It comes out this month on the 9th.
