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!

I had an extended weekend because I helped my younger sister celebrate her birthday just about all weekend. On Monday my sister, my nephew, boyfriend and I went to Cedar Point. I am not a roller coaster fan at all but I had to be a trouper. I didn't want to be a party pooper so I got on everything they wanted to no matter how painful it was for me. I ended up on more rides than anyone else. After the first roller coaster, the Raptor, I didn't feel like talking for a half hour and did not. Then we rode the Millennium Force which was worst, all I could do was laugh. It was fun spending time with my family but I do not enjoy roller coasters. I took these pictures through out the day at Cedar Point. This is what I wore.

When I got dressed Monday, I knew I was going to look like a child. I love Hello Kitty. I got the shirt from Kohls a week ago and my pink plaid Bermuda shorts from Kohls the night before. I found more Hello Kitty shirts with sunglasses @ http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=60255 and @ http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=60098

I found my exact shorts online @
http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/zbrandskiosk/women/sonoma_lifeandstyle/bottoms/PRD~1020174/SONOMA+life+++style+Modern+Fit+Hollywood+Plaid+Shorts.jsp 
You can get Bermuda shorts on clearance everywhere right now since we are in the retail season change.

My sunglasses are Hello Kitty cat-eyes from TJ Maxx. They are adult sunglasses even though they make me look like a child. They looked cute with my outfit but also, if I lost or broke them on a ride I wouldn't have been upset like I would if I lost a more expensive pair.  I keep cute cheap sunglasses for the appropriate occasions. Riding on roller coasters is most certainly an appropriate occasion.  The closest ones I found were these @ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-Sanrio-Hello-Kitty-Womens-Sunglasses-Pink-Red-NWT-/190668958856?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c64c16c88#ht_1201wt_831 These are pink with red hearts like mine but without the bow.

My lego ring I have worn a couple times on closet blogs. If you missed this last time, the best place to find lego rings is http://www.etsy.com/. My purple headphones ring I got on ebay. They sell these at Shoetique on 3760 East Broad Street  Columbus, OH 43213 in a yellow/ pink combo. I found them online @ http://topvintage.nl/en/vintage-retro/funky-purple-headphones-ring

My multi-pink chuck taylors have been in my closet for years. They are kids since my feet are super small. Chucks are my tennis shoe of choice. They can be worn with more kinds of looks than the average tennis shoe. You can find pink chucks @ http://www.converse.com/?CSID=61822_kwid/#/products/collections/ChuckTaylor

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

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

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!

Friday I went to work at Shoetique, my friend's shoe boutique in Columbus, Ohio. I worked on the window displays and made some new friends. Later on I went to a wine shop called the Twisted Vine in the Grandview area with my fella and sat on their new patio to have a few glasses of wine. The weather was very cool for a change and I found a new place to have good wine on a nice patio. I can't wait to go back. I took these pictures at Twisted Vine. This is what I wore.

I wore a hello kitty tee with a red rhinestone bow. I got the tee shirt in Grandview at One More Time. I found rhinestone hello kitty tees @http://www.ebay.com/itm/RHINESTONE-HELLO-KITTY-T-SHIRT-BLACKS-TANK-TOP-TRANSFERS-HOT-FIX-ALL-STONE-/200707941671 & http://tshirtsblvd.com/hello-kitty-rhinestone/ The flared skirt is originally by Talbots but I bought it from the Goodwill. I found a great red, black and white floral skirt @ http://www.modcloth.com/shop/skirts/flower-share-skirt

My studded leather belt is from an Ohio Thrift Store. I found some even cuter studded belts then mine @ http://www.bluefly.com/Vince-Camuto-black-faux-patent-leather-studded-bow-buckle-skinny-belt/SEARCH/318322701/detail.fly & http://www.zappos.com/justin-biker-stud-black

 My sunglasses I have worn once on a closet blog. I believe it was the very first blog last month. They are Michael Kors cat-eyes. I found the same pair online @ http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfp/Michael_Kors-tekelb/lb.html?color=487793&gclid=CM3Bmsaoj7ECFeEDQAodZBjjCQ My red and black vintage posts earrings are from a thrift store in a suburb or Illinois. I found a similar pair @ http://www.etsy.com/listing/97837856/cinnabar-red-floral-affordable-studs?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=red+%26+black+vintage+post+earrings&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all

The bracelets on the left are from a store in Pittsburgh. I found them all over ebay and they are in hair stores and flea markets so I won't bother to post links for them.The bottom one with the ladybug charms I got from Funky & Functional in the Short North, Columbus. The large rhinestone bracelet on the right is also from Funky & Functional. I love that store! Click on links to view similar bracelets.
