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!

Friday my guy and I planned a day trip with my nephew to Lake Erie. We took him to the African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton where we got to feed animals like buffalo, giraffes and zebras through the window of our truck. We watched pig races and checked out the other animal displays. We ran into a bad storm afterward, so we found an Irish Pub downtown Port Clinton called McCarthy's where we ate and rode out the weather. They have these delicious Scotch eggs there! The sun came back out and we walked around the area. I bought some items from the Fisherman's Wharf Bait and Tackle shop that gave me jewelry inspiration. We stopped in Great Lakes Popcorn Co. where we tasted several different flavors of popcorn and left with a couple bags. Then we took the little man to the MarbleHead Lighthouse where we took a ton of photos. The trip ended at Tofts Ice Cream in Sandusky as it usually does when it's just me and Leo in the Lake Erie area. I took my photos near the lighthouse. This is what I wore.

I wanted to be casual and comfortable since we were going to be around animals. I was inspired by the whole idea of a safari and went with a khaki green colored ruffle and studded tank that is originally from New York & Co and denim skinnies that I cuffed by Paige. Find a similar tank here. I paired my outfit with mostly neutral colored accessories. My bucket hat and cross-body bag are both made of straw. They are thrift store finds. I paid $1 for the hat and $2 for the purse. Find a similar hat here and an even cuter purse here.   My bangles are a combination of thrift finds, cultural festival finds and the colorful ones came from Shoetique. The lucite ring is an old piece from Forever 21. My earrings were $1 from the Circleville Former Fireside Inn Yard Sale House. My metallic thong hemp wedges, I paid $2.50 for at a Treasure Sale at a church this past spring. They are by Kenneth Cole Reaction.

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

Kris's Closet

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 spent the evening in Bremen, Ohio. Last minute the fella and his friend decided to cook out so we ran to the store and got on the road to Leo's friend's place in the country. We sat outside on his porch and deck and enjoyed our ribs and brew. I took these photos all around his land. This is what I wore.

It was warm Sunday but since I was going to the country, I covered up to limit my exposure to bugs. The safari blouse I wore is from the thrift store.The brand is not familiar to me but it is Craig Clothing Co. I paid $0.99 for the shirt at the Valley Thrift Store in Dayton. Find a similar blouse here.My skinnies are my favorite by Paige. Find my jeans here.

I wore this straw bucket hat to keep the ticks and spiders out of my hair. I have heard many horror stories so I wanted to be safe and save myself from acting a darn fool, running around and screaming like an idiot. The straw hat is from a thrift store in Circleville, Ohio. Find a similar one here. My necklace is a closet post repeat. I bought it last year during a Style Adventure for $0.25 at Chesterville Flea Market. It is one of my favorite pieces.

My studded belt is from the Ohio Thrift store. I found a similar belt here.The clutch is a closet post veteran, I bought it last summer at Buffalo Exchange in Chicago. It is by Bag Bazaar. I found a similar clutch here. The bracelets from top to bottom are the 'Kalahari Bangle' by Stella & Dot, the alligator 'Creature Cuff' by Tasha from Nordstrom, and the 'Artemis Cuff' by Stella & Dot. Both of my rings came from a vendor at the Macy's Music Festival a few years ago.

The studded oxfords are by Not Too Coy. I bought them from zappos.com a while ago. Find similar shoes here.

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

Kris,

A turtle the eldest son found in the country. He was so cute but wasn't feeling all the attention.
