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!

A lot of you have seen this look on my instagram or facebook page but I decided to post it anyway to credit the garments. On my birthday last Friday, I wore this rock inspired look instead of playing Halloween dress up. I honestly get tired of being other people and things on my birthday sometimes, so I go through periods that I go on a Halloween dress up strike.  I went on a food tour with Christina and met a friend and her husband on the Alt Eats Tour with Columbus Food Adventures. I wanted to be cute but comfortable so I opted for a Scorpions rock band tee that I got in September at the Scorpions concert. I paired the tee with a pair of pants that I ironically wore the last time I did a Columbus Food Adventure tour. I added a fall sweater with tassels to keep me warm through the fall evening. This is what I wore. 

Top: Scorpions concert tee

Pants: Xhilaration (old thrift find from 'Out of the Closet')
Sweater: Vince Camuto (old)

Boots: Timberlands (old)

Earrings:14th & union (last year's Birthday present from Christina) 
Necklace: Passiana (old)

Until next time!

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

My holiday was pretty laid back. I didn't do much partying but I did take a ride around Central Ohio. I headed toward Buckeye Lake to support a couple of businesses. They have struggled this year due to issues with the dam and having to lower the water in the lake. One of those places I visited was Buckeye Lake Winery in Thornville, where my guy and I did a tasting and listened to some live music. Afterward, we had dinner at the Pizza Cottage in Newark. We ended our day exploring the Newark Earthworks with a few stops at other roadside attractions. I took these photos in front of the winery. Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos with my shoes in them. This was Saturday's Look.

I love Memorial Day weekend! The holiday usually kicks off my travel season. Monday I went with my guy to Lake Erie to celebrate the holiday. We started at the Walleye Festival in Port Clinton, where we had one of the best fried fish sandwiches either of us has ever eaten. The festival was right next to the water so we spent a lot of time gazing at the water. We left the festival and headed to one of our favorite junk food spots, Great Lakes Popcorn Company where I got some Citrus flavored popcorn that tasted a lot like Fruit Loops. We had Margaritas in Margaritaville in Sandusky, Ohio. In the area we also had dinner at a restaurant that was just okay. The last stop anytime we are in the area is always Toft's  Ice Cream Parlor. The small cone is literally four scoops of ice cream. 

Since I was going to the lake I wore my boat shoes. I wanted to be prepared in case it was cool by the lake so I layered a button up over a tee shirt dress. I love to pattern mix so I paired leopard accessories with my Aztec printed shirt. This was Monday's look.

Sunday was a low key day but still a lot of fun. I went shopping for pajamas for a friend who had a baby recently. Then I went to visit her and her son at her home. The rest of the day I spent relaxing in my parents backyard. I took these photos at my parent's house. This is what I wore.

I have worn the skirt and tee on the blog previously, but this is my first time wearing them together. I played down the skirt by pairing it with this Grace Jones t-shirt. I felt like some height so I wore my blue wedges. 

Grace Jones tee: Accidental Genius Clothing

Skirt: Elle (old thrift store find)

Earrings: Birthday gift from Christina by 14th & Union

Cut Out Wedges: Zigi Soho(old)

It was an eventful holiday weekend starting with Saturday evening. I went winery hopping with my sister and my guy. We had to eat first so we stopped at our favorite Amish restaurant, Der Dutchman in Plain City. My sister had never been so she had a great time shopping at the onsite bakery and looking through the gift shop before we were seated for dinner. We ate, then we were off to our first winery in Plain City called Eldchrist Winery. That is where I stopped to take these photos. We planned to visit three wineries but were only able to make it through two. The second stop was Blend of Seven Winery in Delaware, Ohio. We had such a great time but after the heavy comfort food and the wine, we were ready for bed. This is what I wore.

My look was simple and comfortable. Wrap dresses are great for any body type and when it's made of tee shirt cotton, it can't get any better. I whole heartily believe in wearing flats when I plan to consume a decent amount of wine. Wineries tend to have a lot of rocky or uneven places and heels and wine don't always mix well. 

Dress: Lizsport Wrap Dress (thrift find)

Sandal Flats: Alfani (old)

Earrings: Birthday gift from Christina by 14th & Union

Hamburger Clutch: New Look from ASOS

Until next time,
