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!

Friday I had a free day with my nephew. I have him at the end of the week during the summer. We usually have set plans but occasionally I allow him to decide what he wants to do on the spot. I call it 'Free Day Friday'. We went to see the new Minions movie and stopped at one of our favorite places, Rocket Fizz. From Rocket Fizz we picked up some candy and some sodas for a soda tasting. I usually dress in t-shirts and comfortable shoes when we go on our adventures. This is what I wore.

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Friday my guy and I planned a day trip with my nephew to Lake Erie. We took him to the African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton where we got to feed animals like buffalo, giraffes and zebras through the window of our truck. We watched pig races and checked out the other animal displays. We ran into a bad storm afterward, so we found an Irish Pub downtown Port Clinton called McCarthy's where we ate and rode out the weather. They have these delicious Scotch eggs there! The sun came back out and we walked around the area. I bought some items from the Fisherman's Wharf Bait and Tackle shop that gave me jewelry inspiration. We stopped in Great Lakes Popcorn Co. where we tasted several different flavors of popcorn and left with a couple bags. Then we took the little man to the MarbleHead Lighthouse where we took a ton of photos. The trip ended at Tofts Ice Cream in Sandusky as it usually does when it's just me and Leo in the Lake Erie area. I took my photos near the lighthouse. This is what I wore.

I wanted to be casual and comfortable since we were going to be around animals. I was inspired by the whole idea of a safari and went with a khaki green colored ruffle and studded tank that is originally from New York & Co and denim skinnies that I cuffed by Paige. Find a similar tank here. I paired my outfit with mostly neutral colored accessories. My bucket hat and cross-body bag are both made of straw. They are thrift store finds. I paid $1 for the hat and $2 for the purse. Find a similar hat here and an even cuter purse here.   My bangles are a combination of thrift finds, cultural festival finds and the colorful ones came from Shoetique. The lucite ring is an old piece from Forever 21. My earrings were $1 from the Circleville Former Fireside Inn Yard Sale House. My metallic thong hemp wedges, I paid $2.50 for at a Treasure Sale at a church this past spring. They are by Kenneth Cole Reaction.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. What do you think about my 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?
