Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) September 30, 2012

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. 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 spent the day riding around the city and subs of Columbus with the fella. We checked out Baker's Village Garden Center, stopped at a park in Dublin to admire the Chief Leather Lips Monument. We checked out some stores in the Short North then we went back to Dublin and had dinner at Mezzo. I also stopped to check out another piece of art, The Field of Corn in Dublin. I took these pictures at Mezzo. This is what I wore.

I am wearing a lace tunic style top, from the thrift store over a neon pink Target 3/4 length sleeve tee. I belted the lace tee to give it a peplum effect.

I am wearing skinny jeans from Target.

These necklaces both premiered on The Fashion Hot Spot as Style Adventure buys.  The cross I bought last month in Athens at Random House and the choker is from Broadway Antiques Mall in Lebanon. I found some great crosses on etsy like this one at http://www.etsy.com/listing/105330982/soa-fierce-mother-large-cross-necklace?ref=sr_gallery_1&sref=sr_137f0befac32c71f4051f6ad0280b820673ae7d4634924b0c0e61c07c395996c_1349314608_14093829_cross_necklace&ga_includes%5B0%5D=tags&ga_search_query=large+cross+necklace&ga_page=9&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

I also found a similar silver bead choker on etsy at http://www.etsy.com/listing/110635691/vintage-beaded-necklace-choker-necklace?ref=sr_gallery_27&ga_search_query=silver+bead+choker&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=all

My sunglasses are vintage Liz Claiborne.  Here are some glasses that are similar in shape at http://www.zappos.com/raen-optics-pogue-12-cider-tortoise-japanese-gold

I got my belt from the Ohio Thrift Store a while ago. Here is a similar belt I found online.

My purse I have had for many years, before Gaga. LOL! It is 70's vintage. It is the very first mobile phone. Yes, it works once plugged into a phone jack. I found an ivory one online.

My studded suede flats are Fergie shoes. They are so comfortable. They are not this season but they are very much in style. Yay! Here is a similar pair I found online, they are cuter than mine. http://www.victoriassecret.com/shoes/view-all/studded-ballet-flat-colin-stuart?ProductID=70973&CatalogueType=OLS&cm_mmc=CA-_-Shopzilla-_-PRIVATE%20LABEL%20SHOES-_-ZE-290846

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

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

Kris's Closet

Inspired by great bloggers like Folake of Style Pantry and Tamia of The Style Sample,a month 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. 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!

Friday I went to work at Shoetique, my friend's shoe boutique in Columbus, Ohio. I worked on the window displays and made some new friends. Later on I went to a wine shop called the Twisted Vine in the Grandview area with my fella and sat on their new patio to have a few glasses of wine. The weather was very cool for a change and I found a new place to have good wine on a nice patio. I can't wait to go back. I took these pictures at Twisted Vine. This is what I wore.

I wore a hello kitty tee with a red rhinestone bow. I got the tee shirt in Grandview at One More Time. I found rhinestone hello kitty tees @http://www.ebay.com/itm/RHINESTONE-HELLO-KITTY-T-SHIRT-BLACKS-TANK-TOP-TRANSFERS-HOT-FIX-ALL-STONE-/200707941671 & http://tshirtsblvd.com/hello-kitty-rhinestone/ The flared skirt is originally by Talbots but I bought it from the Goodwill. I found a great red, black and white floral skirt @ http://www.modcloth.com/shop/skirts/flower-share-skirt

My studded leather belt is from an Ohio Thrift Store. I found some even cuter studded belts then mine @ http://www.bluefly.com/Vince-Camuto-black-faux-patent-leather-studded-bow-buckle-skinny-belt/SEARCH/318322701/detail.fly & http://www.zappos.com/justin-biker-stud-black

 My sunglasses I have worn once on a closet blog. I believe it was the very first blog last month. They are Michael Kors cat-eyes. I found the same pair online @ http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfp/Michael_Kors-tekelb/lb.html?color=487793&gclid=CM3Bmsaoj7ECFeEDQAodZBjjCQ My red and black vintage posts earrings are from a thrift store in a suburb or Illinois. I found a similar pair @ http://www.etsy.com/listing/97837856/cinnabar-red-floral-affordable-studs?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=red+%26+black+vintage+post+earrings&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all

The bracelets on the left are from a store in Pittsburgh. I found them all over ebay and they are in hair stores and flea markets so I won't bother to post links for them.The bottom one with the ladybug charms I got from Funky & Functional in the Short North, Columbus. The large rhinestone bracelet on the right is also from Funky & Functional. I love that store! Click on links to view similar bracelets.
