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!

I kicked off my Birthday Celebration on Sunday with my nephew. We had brunch downtown in Columbus and saw a matinee of The Lion King Broadway show. The show was something I have been wanting to see for a very long time, so my mom purchased a pair of tickets for my birthday. It was one of the best gifts I have ever received. The show was brilliant and inspiring. The costumes were amazing! I am still singing 'Hakuna Matata'. I want to see it again.

My look was 60s Mod inspired. I am loving this trend for fall. The 60s is also one of my favorite decades in fashion. My mom gave me this tunic/dress because it was too big for her. I belted it and played it up with my accessories. All my metals were antique gold in color. I wore the scarab necklace from the last look I posted:it is pretty versatile. I found the metallic, three tone belt some time ago at a flea market. The round sunglasses felt very 60s with a modern twist. The rounded arch on top of the glasses add a touch of playfulness. The hounds-tooth boots were so appropriate with the chunky heel that also scream 60s. Since the weather was under 60 degrees, I decided to wear my black cape coat. Cape coats were also prevalent during the 60s. My mom told me she had one during that time as a child. Check out my look!

We have come to our last New York post. We hope you have enjoyed and been inspired by our trip. It was a great experience and great inspiration. We can't wait for our next opportunity.

 Saturday the 7th, we did the most walking the whole New York trip. We had brunch at Sylvia's, did some shopping and took a stroll in Central Park. It was our last night in New York so we went out that night to the Shrine in Harlem. This is what we wore during the daylight hours.

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

I was super excited about going to Sylvia's and finally checking out Central Park. I have been to New York many times and hadn't checked either place off my list until this recent trip. I was impressed with Sylvia's chicken, red velvet waffles and my peach tree mimosa. Yum! I got so much walking in that day, I know I completely burned the calories from that morning and the night before. I took my photos at Central Park. Check out what I wore!

My look was all about old Hip Hop done in a modern way. I have had this Run DMC tee for many years and never wore it until this trip. My sister tried to steal it because it was in a drawer with the tag still on it and I had to get it back. My vest is a piece you have seen before on my closet posts and it will not be the last time. The skirt is also a piece I have wore before here during the summer with another one of my favorite tees. I completed my modern Hip Hop look with a pair of gold door knockers, a knuckle ring/bracelet, a gold tooth necklace that I think is hilarious and a pair of wedge Adidas. 

Tee:Run DMC shirt by Junk Food (old from Delia's)

Skirt: hounds-tooth mini by Emmelee for F.G. from Deja Vu Westerville

Vest:INC (old Ohio Thrift store purchase)

Earrings: gold door knocker from Cool Cat in Harlem
Necklaces:Gold tooth necklace by theTriangleOfBears on etsy 

Belt: gold chain and leather belt (Ohio Thrift store find)

Bracelets: skulls by JAL Jewelry on etsy/pyramid stud hand bracelet from Nordstrom/skull creature cuff by Tasha from Nordstrom/skull hand chain from Nordstrom

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 was my monthly Ladies Night gathering. This month I planned to meet in the day time for brunch at Knead in the Short North. Four of us had brunch and chatted until we realized we were the last people left in the restaurant. We literally closed the place down. Afterward I stopped at the North Market and checked out the vendors at Artisan Sunday then met my friend Dee to hang out at Comfest. This is what I wore.

This is my favorite tee. It says 'I heart shoes,bags & natural hair. I bought it from a vendor name ThreeLittleBirdsTees on etsy. It is available in four colors and two necklines.  Find my shirt here. I paired the shirt with a hounds-tooth mini skirt that I found last month at Deja Vu in Uptown Westerille. Find a similar skirt here. My bracelets are all closet post veterans. The bracelet to your left is a Chevron hand chain from Forever 21.I paid $3.80. The very busy arm to your right is covered in a black and white marble ring  from a vendor at Macy's Festival a while back, the 'Cara Cross Knuckle Ring' from Nordstrom. I am wearing some skull bangles and snake wrap bracelet from etsy. I am wearing the Kalahari bangle and Artemis cuff from Stella & Dot. The last cuff is the alligator 'Creature cuff'by Tasha from Nordstrom. The alligator is gone but there are other options left. My shoes are the 'skulltini flat' by Jeffrey Campbell.

My peace sign earrings will be available online at my Kristin's Closet shop on etsy soon. The black and white leather crossbody bag was 1.99 from the Valley Thrift Store outside of Dayton. My red belt was $0.50 at The Chesterville Flea Market in Chestiville, Ohio. Find a similar belt here.

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

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 rode to Cleveland with Leo to see a client. He had an estimate to do and I had some unfinished mother's day shopping to wrap up. He dropped me off at the Beachwood Place Mall and he went off to do his estimate. Once we both finished our tasks we had an early dinner at Zocalo Mexican Grill downtown Cleveland. I had a very interesting yet delicious mango & avocado margarita. When I got back to Columbus, I went to see my mom and drop off her goody bag. I took these photos outside Zocalo. This is what I wore.

 It was a chilly Mother's Day especially in Cleveland, so I made sure to wear layers. I revisited a piece of my fall/winter wardrobe to stay comfortable in the fifty degree weather. The navy and silver paisley shirt I paid $0.99 for at the Valley Thrift Store in Dayton. Here are some cute paisley button-ups here and here. The orange and navy hounds-tooth jacket is from the Ohio Thrift Store. I bought it a few years ago for a few dollars. Since the jacket isn't a spring season jacket, it was hard to find anything similar. I am wearing my boyfriend, Leo's Levi's for a looser fit jean.

These earrings are from our Heavy Metal Collection. They are made of wire, metal beads, springs and washers. Visit our etsy shop to see more of this collection.

The purse is the Michael Kors 'Hamilton East/West Satchel'. I got it from Zappos. The alligator leather cuff bracelet is the 'creature cuff ' by Tasha from Nordstrom. The wire bracelet, I have had a long time and I forget where it is from. Find a similar bracelet here.

The  metallic oxford shoes my mom bought me from Nordstrom. I love that they carry two spring trends, studs and cutouts. They are the Sam Edelman 'Jayden' oxford. I love them, they are very comfortable.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. What do you think about my modern 70's look?

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog. 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!

CAUTION! THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE COLOR SENSITIVE!

Color Overload Below! This post may cause blindness,sensitivity to the eyes or may alter your mood positively. =)

Saturday I spent most of the day doing household chores and gathering things for my ladies night meeting. I met some friends at Danes Dessert Cafe where we had sweets and talked about future events and randomness. I had a great time laughing with ladies I had not seen in a while. Laughter is the best medicine!
I took these photos in front of the house hours before I left. It was sunny out so I sat outside a while to get some vitamin D. This is what I wore.

I am not a huge fan of winter but I love winter clothes and accessories. Boots are my favorite kind of footwear.  I love to wear bright colors all winter to keep myself in a great mood. Color is known to very much effect a person's mood.

I started with my favorite pair of denim. They are Skyline Skinny jeans by Paige. I got them from Nordstrom.

The sweater, I bought in Dayton at the Goodwill in the Oregon District. It was $3. I loved the colors and the large hounds-tooth pattern. My guy hates this sweater and many of you will probably as well. It is a Rafaella sweater from the 80's. I found a similar sweater by Rafaella at http://www.etsy.com/listing/116854071/80s-neon-rainbow-sweater-1980-new-wave?ref=sr_gallery_12&ga_search_query=rafaella+sweaters&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all

I found this jacket a month ago at the Ohio Thrift Store. I paid $2.50 for it on a half off Wednesday. It is a colorful hounds-tooth cropped blazer by Ann May.  It is my favorite blazer at the moment so expect to see it again in the near future. I did not locate anything similar.

My earrings were given to me by my sister's friend many years ago.

These are my favorite boots! They are over-the-knee color-block suede 80's boots with zippers. I found them online at etsy.com. Some similar boots from etsy can be found below.

The skull ring is a closet post regular. It came from Nordstrom. I came across a similar one on etsy at http://www.etsy.com/listing/104433397/black-skull-ring?ref=&sref=
