Kris's Closet

Inspired by great bloggers like Folake of Style Pantry and Tamia of The Style Sample,two months 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. 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 tagged along with my guy to Lancaster to meet a client. Afterward we rode around Ohio. We had lunch in Hocking Hills at Millstone BBQ. We rode through a bunch of towns I have never heard of. Some of them were scary. We stopped in Athens, did some shopping and then we stopped at Burr Oak Beach to walk around. I took these pictures at the beach. This is what I wore.

I wore a red-orange sleeveless tee that I have owned a long time. I am not sure where I got it from. The ethnic stripe vest came from Mad 4 Mod on High Street. I paid $1 for it on one of their "Fill a Bag for $5"days.  My skinny jeans are from Target.

My parrot feather necklace is from a vendor at the Macy's Festival in Cincinnati.  I found the same necklace online at http://www.cockatoocreations.com/products/Feathered-Parrot-Necklace-and-Earrings-Set-%252d-Vibrant-Colors.html

My earrings are painted wood from an African shop in Harlem. I did not find anything like these online but I did locate some fun painted wood earring.

This rainbow trimmed straw clutch is a closet blog regular. I bought it during my first Style Adventure in July at Clothes Gallery. It was $1. Still looking for a straw clutch, maybe for next spring? Go to http://www.etsy.com/ The colorful lucite ring I got as a gift a long time ago. Here is a similar ring I found  http://www.etsy.com/listing/99959344/retro-multicolored-lucite-and-glitter?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=colorful+lucite+ring&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=all The bracelets are tie ons that I got from the Pickerington Voilet Festival from a vendor.  I found a similar scorpion bracelet online. http://www.etsy.com/listing/74747636/unique-bracelet-with-a-real-scorpion-in?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=real+scorpion+bracelet&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=all

These blue cut-out wedges are also closet blog regulars. I have posted options for these the first few times I wore them.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you so much for stopping by!

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. 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!

Sunday after a long night of partying in Put in Bay with the fella, I woke up and took a dip in the pool at the hotel before check out. We had breakfast at Dianna's Deli in Sandusky. Then we went looking for fresh walleye to take home for dinner. After we located dinner and put it on ice, we visited a park next to Lake Erie, stopped at a few yard sales, had ice cream at Toft's and finally ended up downtown Sandusky again where we stopped at the Merry Go Round Museum. We took these pictures at the Museum and some by the lake. I wish I would have eaten the ice cream afterward. My belly looked like I was with child, which I am not. Oh well, the show must go on. This is what I wore.

I wore a black, sleeveless, jersey dress by INC. with a red, white, blue and yellow pattern all over it. The dress is a couple seasons old.  My hat is a straw fedora with striped ribbon trim from the men's department of Walmart last summer. I prefer a man's hat because they seem to run bigger. I have a big head and a lot of hair. My shoes are royal blue wedges with cut outs by Zigi Soho. They are repeats from the previous Kris's Closet blog. Similar shoes were suggested, view 7/21 Kris's Closet. I am repeating these black and silver cat-eye glasses as well from the first Kris's Closet, view 7/7 blog. I made suggestions and located the actual pair in that blog entry. The earrings I bought last month for $4 at Second Time Around in Attica, Ohio. That store was featured in our this week's Style Adventure blog Vol. 3. Click on links to view similar items.
