Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) October 25, 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!

I have been celebrating my birthday all of the month of October in spurts. So Saturday I had a full day of activities planned. I started my day with a Breakfast Tour through Columbus Food Adventures with Dr. Breakfast; Nick Dekker: blogger and author of blog and book titled 'Breakfast with Nick'. While on the tour we ran into another one of my favorite bloggers from 'Drink up Columbus', Cheryl Harrison. She writes 'Drunk Brunch' my favorite go to for brunch spots in the city. This is the third year I have done a CFA tour around my birthday. It has become kind of a tradition. It was only right to do a tour this year after earning a free tour for filling up my CFA passport. After the tour was over I met my sister for a movie at Studio Movie Grill in the Arena District where we saw 'Annabelle'. We ended the night with a brain workout through 'Room Escape Adventures', where we participated in 'Trapped in a Room with a Zombie'. We were locked in a room for an hour with ten strangers, where we had to find clues and solve puzzles to find a key to escape the zombie before it could reach us. Look for more on that story on Once Upon A Stylish Life or select Kristin's World in the menu tabs. For now, Check out Saturday's look!

This season, I am all about comfort. I am gravitating toward sweatshirts and sweatshirt like tops. This faux fur with quilted faux leather sleeve sweatshirt was given to me by my mom. It was too big for her. I paired it with a red button-up and a pair of Versace inspired pants that I found at 'Out of the Closet'.

Faux Fur Sweatshirt: TopShop
Button-up: Charter Club (old)
Pants: Xhilaration (thrift find from 'Out of the Closet')
Studded Smoking Slippers: Jeffrey Campbell Elegant Bow Flat
Purse: Michael Kors Sequin Grayson
Jewelery: Vintage (Bracelet was my grandma's)
Sunglasses: Quay Australia Yibrow Shades

Until next time,

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

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!

Sunday I took a Taco Truck Tour through Columbus Food Adventures. It was the anniversary date of the first tour I took with them in German Village last year as part of my Birthday present. I had so much fun last year I decide to schedule two tours for this year's Birthday celebration. My birthday was yesterday but I celebrate a whole month usually. Last year the German Village tour was a walking tour where we learned about the history of the part of town and ate our way through. This year's Taco Truck Tour was a van tour with six stops that were full of great food and information. I learned that there were so many items that I never would have ordered had I not had this experience. They sell a lot more than tacos and burritos. I took these photos on the tour, this is what I wore.

Blouse: thrift store

Fur Vest:thrift store

Jeans:Paige Denim

Boots:second hand 80's vintage from etsy

Earrings: Betsey Johnson Paris Heart Lips 5 Piece Stud Set

Bracelets: Artemis Cuff by Stella & Dot + Pyramid hand bracelet

from Nordstrom

I was in the mood for color and print. Prints are big this season and fur has been in for many seasons now including this past spring. I wanted to be comfortable and warm since it was an evening tour. Instead of a bulky coat, I opted for a fur vest. I threw on my flat color block over-the-knee boots. Over-the-knee boots are also back this fall/winter season.

The blouse I paid $0.69 at a thrift store just outside of Dayton.
The rabbit fur vest was $20 at the Ohio Thrift store a few winters ago.

I had been eye balling this Betsey Johnson Paris Heart Lips stud set for a month and finally decided to indulge. I loved the idea of this set because I have a lot of piercings especially on my left ear. I am also a big fan of the asymmetrical look. Check out her site for more of these fun sets!

I have had these 80's over-the-knee color-block boots for a few years now and I am always excited to wear them. I originally paid about $70 for them. They are my favorite boots.

What do you think about my look?

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

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. My style is usually wild, bold, adventurous and colorful. I would use the same words to describe my personality and life. My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Saturday I went on a Columbus Food Adventures tour through German Village with my guy. The tour was part of my birthday present. It was something I have had on my to do list for over a year and I was not disappointed. We had mini cream puffs at Schmidt's, a salad from Lindey's made with hearts of palm, a knish from Katzinger's, macarons from Pistacia Vera, a fried green tomato from G. Michael's and a small feast at Barcelona. It was four hours of food and interesting facts about the history of German Village. I loved the experience! Afterward, I watched the Ohio State and Penn State game with my dad. The Buckeyes are still undefeated! Yay! Then I went out with the fella to hear one of his favorite local rock bands play. I took my pictures during the food tour and at Schiller Park where the tour began. This is what I wore.

I wanted to be dressed for the entire day so I put on a sequin tank, floral blazer and jeans. The sequin tank was given to me by my family friend Nikki. I am not sure where it came from. The blazer is Issac Mizrahi for Target. It is right on trend for fall but the jacket is a couple years old. Here are some floral blazers I found on one of my new favorite sites at http://www.lulus.com/index.php?main_page=search_results&search_in_description=1&q=floral+blazer

Here is a pink sequin tank that would look good under most of the jackets at http://www.drjays.com/shop/P1372763/fashion-lab/disco-night-sequin-tank-top.html?currency=usd&utm_source=cse&utm_medium=nextag&utm_campaign=Fashion%20Lab%20Women&utm_content=Tops&utm_term=1372763%20-%20disco%20night%20sequin%20tank%20top&gwc_h=nextag

My jeans are my comfortable Mossimo jeans from Target.

My earrings are a Betsey Johnson asymmetrical pair that I got from my friend Dee for my birthday last year. I didn't realize I only had a picture of one earring. The other side is shorter. That earring is a lock.

My clutch is a gift with purchase from Michael Kors Hollywood fragrance. The skull ring is from Nordstrom but I have have seen ones similar being advertised at Charming Charlie. The pearl ring is an antique I found at Second Time Around in Attica, Ohio.
