Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) September 30, 2012

Kris's Closet

Inspired by great bloggers like Folake of Style Pantry and Tamia of The Style Sample, 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. My style is usually wild, bold, adventurous and colorful. I would use the same words to describe my personality and life. My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Sunday I spent the day riding around the city and subs of Columbus with the fella. We checked out Baker's Village Garden Center, stopped at a park in Dublin to admire the Chief Leather Lips Monument. We checked out some stores in the Short North then we went back to Dublin and had dinner at Mezzo. I also stopped to check out another piece of art, The Field of Corn in Dublin. I took these pictures at Mezzo. This is what I wore.

I am wearing a lace tunic style top, from the thrift store over a neon pink Target 3/4 length sleeve tee. I belted the lace tee to give it a peplum effect.

I am wearing skinny jeans from Target.

These necklaces both premiered on The Fashion Hot Spot as Style Adventure buys.  The cross I bought last month in Athens at Random House and the choker is from Broadway Antiques Mall in Lebanon. I found some great crosses on etsy like this one at http://www.etsy.com/listing/105330982/soa-fierce-mother-large-cross-necklace?ref=sr_gallery_1&sref=sr_137f0befac32c71f4051f6ad0280b820673ae7d4634924b0c0e61c07c395996c_1349314608_14093829_cross_necklace&ga_includes%5B0%5D=tags&ga_search_query=large+cross+necklace&ga_page=9&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

I also found a similar silver bead choker on etsy at http://www.etsy.com/listing/110635691/vintage-beaded-necklace-choker-necklace?ref=sr_gallery_27&ga_search_query=silver+bead+choker&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=all

My sunglasses are vintage Liz Claiborne.  Here are some glasses that are similar in shape at http://www.zappos.com/raen-optics-pogue-12-cider-tortoise-japanese-gold

I got my belt from the Ohio Thrift Store a while ago. Here is a similar belt I found online.

My purse I have had for many years, before Gaga. LOL! It is 70's vintage. It is the very first mobile phone. Yes, it works once plugged into a phone jack. I found an ivory one online.

My studded suede flats are Fergie shoes. They are so comfortable. They are not this season but they are very much in style. Yay! Here is a similar pair I found online, they are cuter than mine. http://www.victoriassecret.com/shoes/view-all/studded-ballet-flat-colin-stuart?ProductID=70973&CatalogueType=OLS&cm_mmc=CA-_-Shopzilla-_-PRIVATE%20LABEL%20SHOES-_-ZE-290846

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!

Yesterday I went to Shoetique to spend time with my good friends Dee and Chris. We played catch up and had wine while I took pictures of the new fall merchandise. I had Chris take these pictures of me at the store. This is what I wore.

My glasses are vintage Liz Claiborne. They are oval black and silver sunglasses. I love them! They are my rocker goggles!

My tie-dye beater is  Miley Cyrus. I bought it at a Chicago thrift store with the skirt I have on. The flared skirt is a vintage skirt that probably belonged to someone's grandma. It is covered in flowers and paisley. I love paisley! I found lots of paisley flared skirts on http://www.ebay.com/ The belt I have featured in a closet blog before. It is leather with studs. I have worn it a lot so it is becoming distressed. I found a cute leather studded belt option @ http://www.bluefly.com/Vince-Camuto-black-leather-studded-skinny-belt/cat20054/319327402/detail.fly.

The necklace is leather and metal. I found it at Funky & Functional in Short North, Columbus, Ohio. I found a really cute option for this necklace @ http://www.etsy.com/listing/106918902/leather-necklace-black?ref=sr_gallery_37&ga_search_query=black+leather+and+stud+necklace&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=allThe black and white marble check pattern ring I got in Cincinnati from a vendor at the Macy's Festival. It is a closet blog repeat. The mustache rings I got from Cedar Point two weeks ago. I thought they were great! I found several mustache rings on http://www.etsy.com/ .
