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.

Sweater: Vince Camuto (old)

Until next time!

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

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 spent the day exploring Southern Ohio. I spent the most time in two cities that I had not visted previously, Bainbridge and Portsmouth, Ohio. In Bainbridge I ran into The Trading Post Antiques where I stacked up on cookbooks and cookie cutters for the coming holiday season. Then I had lunch at a local greasy spoon called Docs Bainbridge Restaurant. The broasted chicken was delicious. Portsmouth was a city lined with antique shops. Unfortunately, only two shops were opened on Sunday. One was called 'Ghosts in the Attic'; a huge antique shop with floors of antiques, vintage clothing and jewelry items.  I definitely plan to return to do a 'Style Adventure' piece.  Before I headed back to Columbus, I stopped at The Portsmouth Brewing Company. At the Brewery I had some appetizers and a beer flight of the house made brew. I also got a history lesson.  The building started out as a brewery in the 1800s and tried to survive selling non-alcoholic beer during Prohibition. Then the building housed a few other kinds of operations before it returned to being a brewery in the late 90s. The family who brought the building back to it's roots has been running it ever since. It is a cool place to hang out. I am not a beer expert but really enjoyed the 'Red Bird Ale'.

My look was casual and great for car travel. The weather was also a little chilly so I layered my Grace Jones tee over a button up and added a shawl cardigan with fringe detail on top. My pants were soft and comfortable. They are a light weight corduroy. The look is almost completely available. Find the details to get the look below.
