Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) Valentine's Day 2014

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!

Valentine's Day I had dinner with my guy at Strongwater Food & Spirits. It was our first time checking out the restaurant and we were pleased with our selections. Afterward we ended up at an erotic art exhibit at the gallery in the back of the restaurant. It snowed hard and crazy all night but I refused to put on a coat so I selected a wool blend dress and a faux fur vest to keep warm. The dress and vest both had pockets so I decided against a handbag as well. I just threw my lipstick, gloss, id and phone in my pockets and was off. This is what I wore.

Dress:Vintage Liz Claiborne (similar dress in Spring weight)

Vest: Betsey Johnson  

Belt:Vintage (Second-hand from Lincoln Mall Miami)

Cowgirl Boots: Crush by Durango from Boots Rocky Boot Outlet 

Hoop Earrings: Nordstrom (similar earrings)

Leather Gloves: Charter Club

Signet Necklace: PersonalizeMeJewelry Etsy

I have two items I want to talk about that I have never worn on the blog, my boots and my signet necklace. The boots I got last year for my birthday. You will see them a lot this Spring/Summer because western elements and cowboy boots are on trend for the warm seasons this year. The necklace, my mom bought me for Christmas. I have always wanted a signet necklace and now I wear it almost daily. They are both two of my new favorite things in my wardrobe at the moment.

What do you think about my look?

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!

Last Saturday afternoon I went to a birthday party at a bar called Retro with my sister for one of the nicest people I know. We ate, we drank and danced. It was a really nice party and I was happy to be there.  I take care of my mom during the day, who has heart disease, so Friday I never had a reason to get dressed. Since I didn't get to wear red on 'Wear Red Day', I wore red Saturday. I have worn this dress on the blog before but changed everything I wore with it before. This is what I wore.

Cape Coat: Ralph Lauren (similar coat)

Scarf: Chelsey

Dress:Kenneth Cole Reaction (similar dress)

Ties Blouse:Ohio Thrift Store (similar blouse) 

Leggings:Shoppers World

Belt:White House Black Market(similar belt) 

Boots: G by Guess Trinna Over-the-Knee Platform Dress Boot

Hoop Earrings: Nordstrom (similar earrings)

Leather Gloves: Charter Club

It is late in the season so if you want to duplicate this look,

 you will find that most of these items are now on sale and 

clearance. Spring is very present in the stores, magazines and some of the shows we watch. So everything we can wear now in this crazy winter weather has come down in price quite a bit. Luckily with it being Fashion Week for next fall/winter, it is a good time to take advantage of these sales and clearances. I like to check out the trends shown on the runways online and shop for a few items that will carry over into the next fall/winter season.You can save money that way and will find yourself on trend for that season.

What do you think about my look?

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!
