Part I

In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in our closets,learn where we found them

 and where we wore them.  

Thursday was the first day we woke up in New York. We had breakfast across the street from our hotel then we headed toward Brooklyn for some thrift/vintage shopping. We took the subway and ended up at Buffalo Exchange and Monk in Williamsburg. We had a limited amount of time to work with since our accessory showcase event was just hours away, so we finished up our shopping, took these photos and didn't even time to eat before it was time to change clothes. This is what we wore the first half of the day.

Purse: Multi-colored Alma by Louis Vuitton

Bracelet:Christmas gift from Grandpa brought back from China

I bought the tee on Wednesday when we went to Times Square for $5. I loved it because it was ChristinaKristin colors. I threw it on with a skirt I brought from home that I had yet to wear, so it worked out. I threw on a skinny mint colored belt and my mint colored Cole Haan oxfords to bring the outfit Harmony. That concludes my look.

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

Chris's/Kris's Closet ( Kristin) May 26, 2013

Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog almost a year ago. 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 went riding around with my guy and we ended up at Buckeye Lake. We stopped at the Buckeye Lake Museum where they were having a 15 year anniversary party with food, drinks and live music. Then we took a free boat tour ride around the lake on Queen of the Lake, also part of the anniversary celebration. I love when we luck up on a free and fun activity not far from home! There is always something in Ohio to do, believe it or not. After the boat ride we had dinner at the Island House and ice cream at Weldon's. I took my photos at the end of the day just before we lost the sunlight and headed home. This is what I wore.

I wanted to be comfortable and layered because the weather was a little cool and I knew I would likely end up in the country and somewhere where there was water. I put on an ribbed tank dress I have had a few years now from Target. I wore it once before on a closet post. I originally paid $15 for it. It's by Mossimo.
Find similar beater dresses at American Apparel. The over-sized colorful floral cardigan is from a thrift store in Circleville, Ohio. I paid $6 for it. The brand is HMJ.

My necklace is from an Ohio Thrift Store. I paid $8 for it. The sunglasses I am wearing are by Betsey  Johnson. I found them for under $20 at Nordstrom Rack a few years ago near Detroit. They are the BJ215 Raven/Emerald Wayfarers. Find them online here.

It was time to bring out my white Multi-colored Alma. It is one of my summer bags. It was my graduation gift from my dad in 2005 from Fashion Design school. My bracelets are a mix of  bamboo, leather and metal. I am wearing the alligator 'Creature Cuff' by Tasha from Nordstrom. The 'Kalahari Bangle' and the 'Artemis Cuff' by Stella & Dot. The Bamboo bracelets are from the Valley Thrift Store.

My slide in wedges are also second hand. I bought them from a church treasure sell in Bexley a few weeks ago for $2.50. They are Kenneth Cole Reaction.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. What do you think about my look?

Thank you so much for stopping by!
