Chris's/Kris's Closet (Christina) June 26, 2016 ComFest Day 3

Chris's Closet

The last day of ComFest was bittersweet for me. On one hand I was glad it was going to be over because of the long hours and hot weather, but on the other hand it felt perfect to be working those long hours selling my jewelry, meeting my customers, and making my own rules. I must say going back to my job on Monday was a bit challenging. But that's besides the point!! 

The tunic I wore was a thrift store find featured in our ChristinaKristin Thrift Adventure. I had been so excited to wear it and I finally had the opportunity to put it on. It was super comfortable, and I DIY'd my sandals just for this look. I love this hat, but with the heat it had it to go, I put it back on for the pictures!:)

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 was the Comfest Community Festival finale. It was the hottest day and luckily also the shortest day. I was excited to revisit a dress that I have worn on the blog a few years ago. It was given to me by my friend's mom. I wanted to be comfortable and this dress is one of the most comfortable things that I own. I belted the dress and threw on a hat and some gold sandals. I wore the same earrings I had on the previous day. I had the lady next door to our booth create a tribal paint design on my face. I was feeling super festive. This was Sunday's look!

Saturday was the best day of the Comfest community festival. The weather was tolerable, we stayed busy and we were much more organized than the previous day. It was warmer than Friday, but I was prepared. I did some pattern mixing by pairing a python printed skirt with the elephant vest I thrifted for my Spring trends list. I layered the vest over a yellow ribbed beater. This time I put on a pair of flat sandals to keep my feet cool. The star ChristinaKristin piece on Saturday was from our Global Gal Collection. I wore the new Sibri earrings. I made them that morning to wear with my outfit. I got so many compliments on them that I made a second pair that day to sell.

This weekend was pretty festive and a bit exciting. Kristin and I enjoyed our first vendor opportunity of the year at ComFest. ComFest is a big deal in our city and possibly the state. ComFest is short for Community Festival, it has been happening annually since the early 70's. People love it because it is a festival that celebrates togetherness, individuality and freedom. You will hear live music from local artists, creative vendors, you will be able to register to vote and help to legalize marijuana if you choose.  For more info on this festival please visit http://www.comfest.com/index.php. 

Friday I chose to wear something comfortable and stylish. I knew I would be sitting and standing all day and I wanted to be prepared. 

Hair Accessory: Handmade by me

Sunglasses: Free People

Earrings: ChristinaKristin

Shirt: Thrift Store

Bracelets: Gift from Ghana

Belt: Find at community yard sale

Shorts: Karen's Closet (Kristin's mom gives me all type of clothes, YAY!)

Until Next Time,

Be Blessed! Be Free! Be Fashionable!
