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!

Saturday I had the pleasure of joining a couple friends at the Fat Tire Presents Tour de Fat in Columbus at Express Live. Christina and I were invited by a new friend to see my new favorite local band Mistar Anderson. The experience was pretty amazing. Mistar Anderson put on a great show and I got to discover new bands that I also greatly appreciated. In between the musical performances there were side shows featuring perfomers using holla hoops, puppets and much more. There were even women stilt walkers, walking around. The concert goers wore costumes including tutus, jester hats, crowns and clown wigs. I also really appreciated the free food in the VIP section. It was all awesome. I followed this event up with a JayZ listening party at a social club that I grew up frequenting and ended the night at Rambling House, a soda bar where the band Topher & the Biscuit Brigade were playing. This was Saturday's look.

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!

Kris's Closet

Inspired by great bloggers like Folake of Style Pantry and Tamia of The Style Sample,a month ago 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. The best way to describe us if personalities were colors would be red and hot pink. I am the red personality because I am usually wild, passionate and bold with fashion and in life. My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Sunday I went to check out the Dublin Irish Festival. I was not that impressed. I felt like it was seriously over priced. You pay $10 to park and $10 per person before you have even stepped into the festival. Anyhow, the fella and I walked around for a little over and hour then left to check out a wholesale department store called Roses. Then we went for a walk in Westgate Park and made dinner together. We took these pictures at the festival and at Westgate Park. This is what I wore.

I wore a magenta beater dress that I got from Target a couple years ago with a short sleeve mustard and white cardigan from New York & Co, also a few years old. I found a similar color graphic beater dress @ 
http://www.madeindetroit.com/collections/womens/products/beater-dress-fuchsia. Since it is late in the summer I did not locate any short sleeve cardigans but mustard long sleeve cardigans are in h&m and many other stores for fall.

 

My earrings are second hand from Timber Tunes in Johnstown, Ohio. I found some similar earrings @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/rockspapermetal?ref=seller_info

My belt I featured last month on a Kris's Closet. I bought it from an Etsy seller. I found some similar cute colorful belts on etsy @ 1. http://www.etsy.com/listing/74885010/vintage-rainbow-colored-fabric-braided?ref=sr_gallery_27&ga_search_query=+colorful+belt&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all &

My neon knit bracelet is my creation. You can find it @http://www.etsy.com/listing/96825894/knit-covered-wooden-bangle-cotton-candy My lego ring is from etsy as well. You will find lots of options if you search lego rings on http://www.etsy.com/

My purse is Louis Vuitton. It is the Monogram Multicolore Canvas Alma from 2005. The updated one that they sell now is @  http://www.louisvuitton.com/front/#/eng_US/Collections/Women/Handbags My shoes I have featured a few times in Kris's Closet. They are Naturalizers. I have had them for many years and have just started really wearing them. 

My glasses are my go to pair of D&G aviators that I bought at Nordstrom. I have worn them in a lot of Kris's Closet blogs. The style is (6065). These are from last year but I found the same style online @ http://us.sunglassesshop.com/d-and-g/6065/brown-29373/11401.aspx

This concludes another Kris's Closet! Thank you for stopping by!
