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!

A lot of you have seen this look on my instagram or facebook page but I decided to post it anyway to credit the garments. On my birthday last Friday, I wore this rock inspired look instead of playing Halloween dress up. I honestly get tired of being other people and things on my birthday sometimes, so I go through periods that I go on a Halloween dress up strike.  I went on a food tour with Christina and met a friend and her husband on the Alt Eats Tour with Columbus Food Adventures. I wanted to be cute but comfortable so I opted for a Scorpions rock band tee that I got in September at the Scorpions concert. I paired the tee with a pair of pants that I ironically wore the last time I did a Columbus Food Adventure tour. I added a fall sweater with tassels to keep me warm through the fall evening. This is what I wore. 

Top: Scorpions concert tee

Pants: Xhilaration (old thrift find from 'Out of the Closet')
Sweater: Vince Camuto (old)

Boots: Timberlands (old)

Earrings:14th & union (last year's Birthday present from Christina) 
Necklace: Passiana (old)

Until next time!

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

My holiday was pretty laid back. I didn't do much partying but I did take a ride around Central Ohio. I headed toward Buckeye Lake to support a couple of businesses. They have struggled this year due to issues with the dam and having to lower the water in the lake. One of those places I visited was Buckeye Lake Winery in Thornville, where my guy and I did a tasting and listened to some live music. Afterward, we had dinner at the Pizza Cottage in Newark. We ended our day exploring the Newark Earthworks with a few stops at other roadside attractions. I took these photos in front of the winery. Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos with my shoes in them. This was Saturday's Look.

Yesterday was the first day out with my nephew since his summer break began. We started our summer adventures with a tour of the American Whistle Corporation's Factory. There we walked through the entire process of creating a whistle and learned about the history of the company. My nephew snapped a few photos of me in front of the factory before the tour. This was what I wore.

I wanted to be comfortable so I put on my summer uniform, a tee and skirt. I also wore a pair of sneaker wedges because we had a lot of walking to do. As you can see, I am briefly wearing my hair straight.

Sneaker Wedges: Adidas

I love Memorial Day weekend! The holiday usually kicks off my travel season. Monday I went with my guy to Lake Erie to celebrate the holiday. We started at the Walleye Festival in Port Clinton, where we had one of the best fried fish sandwiches either of us has ever eaten. The festival was right next to the water so we spent a lot of time gazing at the water. We left the festival and headed to one of our favorite junk food spots, Great Lakes Popcorn Company where I got some Citrus flavored popcorn that tasted a lot like Fruit Loops. We had Margaritas in Margaritaville in Sandusky, Ohio. In the area we also had dinner at a restaurant that was just okay. The last stop anytime we are in the area is always Toft's  Ice Cream Parlor. The small cone is literally four scoops of ice cream. 

Since I was going to the lake I wore my boat shoes. I wanted to be prepared in case it was cool by the lake so I layered a button up over a tee shirt dress. I love to pattern mix so I paired leopard accessories with my Aztec printed shirt. This was Monday's look.

T-shirt dress: Merona (thrift store find)

Necklace: Passiana 

Earrings: Birthday gift from Christina by 14th & Union

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!

 

Last night I went to see Stevie Wonder in concert. It's the last days of sweater weather, so I put on this sweater I did not have the opportunity to wear all winter. I love it because it looks vintage but it is not. I am over wearing coats,so I have opted for layering clothing until I can wear less. I can't wait until it is well into spring. The sweater is layered over a black shirt dress that is at least ten years old. I am almost embarrassed to say the statement necklace is something I ordered after seeing it on 'Mai Picks', a discount shopping segment on 'The Real'. I am normally not the kind of girl who orders things I see on television but this necklace was something I'd been looking for. It was leather and gold plated. The earrings were given to me for my birthday last year by Christina. Don't they look great with the necklace? 

The Stevie Wonder Concert was just the therapy I needed after a long stressful winter. I only purchased my ticket yesterday and got a seat in the 8th row from the right of the stage. I was ecstatic about that but I had no idea that one of my favorite songstresses would be there. India Arie, performed several songs with Stevie Wonder, all while wearing some of the most drool worthy stage costumes I have ever seen. She had matching or complimentary head-wraps with everything. I may have to do an inspired look in an up coming post. Anyhow, I took these photos of my look before the show. This is what I wore.

Sweater: MinkPink from Nordstrom

Shirt Dress: old

Boots: Guess

Necklace: Passiana Quadruple Strand Leather Spiked Bib ( Order  through Mai Picks but find it HERE)

Earrings: Birthday gift from Christina
Bracelet: Was my grandma's
Sunglasses: Quay Yibrow in gold

Until next time,

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!
