Chris's Closet

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

Friday, I met Kristin at her house so that we could go to the Westgate Community Yard Sale. The morning of, I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to go because it's been raining like cats and dogs here in Columbus. But the rain held off and we were able to take our adventure. This ended up being an all day affair, we browsed the yard sales, ate Thai food, and then headed back home where we relaxed on the porch with a glass of wine and had a meeting. This is what I wore!

Blazer: Gift ( I cut the tag out, so I don't know the brand)

T-shirt: Target, Mossimo

Jeans: Shoppers World $5 brand: Masai Denim Jeans

Earrings: ChristinaKristin

Bracelets: Indian Vendor at a street fair, only 2 for $1.00, I bought 20.

Shoes: Target $16

Until Next Time,

Chris!

Thursday's Inspiration

Twice a week Kristin and I both create collections on a site called etsy. On etsy these collections are called treasuries. The reason why I enjoy doing them so much is because I feel like a fashion editor creating a cohesive display of items for a magazine. I am usually inspired by the collections I create either in my own personal life, or through my designs. So I decided, why not blog a little more in depth about the inspiration behind the treasuries I create.

My goal is to not only inspire you the reader, but also take my inspiration to the next level. I hope you enjoy this series as I much as I enjoy creating it!

This week I am inspired by print, more specifically floral print. I used to be pretty opposed to wearing flowers on my clothing, but recently, I have added more pattern to my wardrobe, and want to try pattern mixing with florals. In today's etsy treasury you will see a collection of 16 items all florally inspired, from photographs to head wear.

To avoid looking like a bridesmaid, try mixing this romantic print with some studs, different textures or add a little contrast with print. If you are really daring pair up different floral prints in one look!

Until Next Time, Ciao!
