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!

Sunday I went to Branstool to pick peaches with Leo. We picked peaches and searched through a wide selection of interesting jams, butters and jellies. I put together my look specifically for our outing. I learned my lesson last summer wearing sandals. My feet were dirty, wet and exposed to insects when we visited last, so I opted for my hiking boots this time to walk through the orchard. I still managed to throw together a look that was bright, cute and that I wouldn't mind getting dirty in. I also got to wear my favorite MAC neon orange lipstick. The color always makes me feel good. I took these photos at the orchard. This is what I wore.

I paired a black lace tunic with a pair of cobalt shorts. The tunic I thrifted a while ago. It was around $2. Find similar shirts here and here. The shorts are Merona from Target. I paid $15 for them. I am excited that cobalt will be a big color for fall again this year. I love it!

The belt is a piece I found at the Cultural Arts Festival. It is a tribal belly dancing belt.I think I paid $20 for it a couple years ago. Find some similar belts here.

My necklace is a very old beaded fringe necklace from Express. Find similar necklaces: option 1, option 2 & option 3  The sunglasses are gold and silver D&G aviators. 

The ring is a black and white marble tile ring. I picked it up from a vendor at the Macy's Festival a while ago. Find a similar ring here. The bracelets are the 'Creature Cuff' by Tasha (Nordstrom), giraffe from Kohls, 'Artemis Cuff' and the 'Kalahari Bangle' from Stella & Dot. My boots are Rocky Boots from the Rocky Boot Outlet. I got them off the clearance rack since they are not something I plan to wear a lot. I got them for under $20. 

This concludes another Kris's Closet. 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 finally got to Branstool Orchard in Utica, Ohio to pick peaches with my fella. We picked our peaches and picked up some corn for dinner. Then we went to Kohls to get some clothes for work and our Cedar Point trip the next day. We made dinner and attempted to get to bed early. I took these pictures at Branstool Orchard. This is what I wore.

I wore an faux pearl embellished black beater by Cache with a sheer lace tunic on top of it that I got from Forever 21 years ago. I paired the tops with a pair of Target Mossimo skinny jeans. Check out the links for similar items.

My sunglasses I have worn a couple times on closet blogs now. They are Michael Kors cat-eye sunglasses. I gave a link for them the first two times I featured them. For that info check out Kris's Closet blog 8/10/12.

My earrings are faux pearl hoops that I got from one of my favorite stores in Chicago called Mali.  To view some of their pieces, see their web site @ https://malijewelry.com/default.asp

My ring I purchased from a vendor at the Macy's Festival in Cincinnati a few years ago. It is one of my favorite pieces. It is made of marble. I found a few rings online that kind of remind me of my own @http://www.etsy.com/listing/105367230/handcrafted-black-and-white-marble-resin?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_query=black+and+white+marble+ring&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=all or this one @ http://www.etsy.com/listing/92540946/sale-vintage-sterling-jay-king-marble?ref=sr_gallery_13&ga_search_query=black+and+white+marble+ring&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=all
