Chris's Closet

I am Christina, the hot pink of ChristinaKristin, welcome to my closet.

Friday, I met up with Kristin to do some shopping for a themed event we were attending that night. I planned to be cute and casual. Also, I wanted to wear pink to show my support in stopping the violence against the LGBT community that has been taken place locally. This is what I wore.

My pink Kangol hat is super old, I believe it was purchased on a NYC trip. At one point I was really obsessed with Kangol hats, and I had many different styles. I don't wear hats as much now, unless my hair is twisted. 

I love this giraffe t-shirt wearing turquiose sunglasses. I bought this from my favorite store Target, for $10.00. I purchased this shirt to pair with floral jeans, but have since found other ways to wear it. 

I found these fluorescent peach jeans at Madewell, on sale of course. They were originally   $89.99, on  sale for 31.99, final sale, a steal. I was in a hurry when I purchased them, I didn't even try them on, I grabbed my size and left. I'm not really sure if there are more left, but Madewell is at Easton Town Center, sale items are always in the back left corner.  The jeans are designed by BLANKNYC, find these same jeans on the site, although they are not on sale.

I purchased these sandals last summer, they are denim with chains around the ankles, purchased from Bakers. I know they currently have similar styles, but not with denim. My handbag was a gift from Ghana, I love this bag, the print and color are so me. My knit earrings are from our "Cotton Candy" collection, you can see similar styles in our online shop.

Are you wearing brights this summer?

Until Next Time, Ciao!

Chris's Closet

  I am Christina, the hot pink of ChristinaKristin, welcome to my closet!

About 2 weeks ago Kristin and I planned to attend Cocktails at the Conservatory at Franklin Park located in Columbus, Ohio, http://www.fpconservatory.org/. So on Thursday we met up, and this is what I wore.

It wasn't too cold last Thursday, so I opted to wear a sweater with a faux fur vest, and a warm scarf, plus at this point I still hadn't purchased a winter coat, so I improvised!

During the winter season, I generally wear a lot of layers. Although I am a fashionista, I rarely shop for the cold season, honestly, shopping doesn't always fit into my budget. I take my spring/summer wardrobe and winterize it, as I did with this outfit

I am wearing a grey baby doll dress that I purchased from Target about 3 years ago, layered over top is a rose colored sweater that I bought at H & M last year. I was unable to find a similar dress, but I did find a similar sweater here: http://www.hm.com/us/product/06372?article=06372-A

Over top of the sweater I am wearing a faux fur vest that I purchased from American Eagle probably about 4 years ago. I do not shop at American Eagle, but one Christmas I received a gift card to the store and I was determined to use it. I found this vest and a pair of pearl earrings. American Eagle does not sell this vest anymore, but I found a cute animal print vest at http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&Category=Outerwear&ProductID=2030325728&VariantID= for only $22.96 on sale.

My nude lace tights are from Target, they have an awesome selection of legwear.

My multi-colored scarf is from Target, as you can see I am an avid Target shopper. I purchased this scarf a few years ago, but there are some other really cute ones available.

All of jewelry is from Stella & Dot, as I stated before I am an independent stylist for Stella & Dot which is why I am always rocking fabulous jewelry, these are my display samples. Check out my site for more info. My brown clutch is from Ohio Thrift, it was only $1.00 during the half off sale.

These super comfortable wedges are from Bakers, I bought them over the summer. I found a similar pair here: http://www.bakersshoes.com/p-236771-SPENCER-WEDGE.aspx on sale for $49.99.

My tips for winterizing your Spring/Summer wardrobe:

1. Layer with tank tops, sweaters and scarves.

2. Add tights to summer dresses.

3. DO invest in a great pair of boots.

4. Accessorize with belts, purses, hats, shoes, and jewelry. Accessories alone can make your outfit look like 100 bucks!

I hope you enjoyed my closet blog!

Until next time,Ciao!
