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!

Monday was Columbus Day so my parents decided to take me thrift shopping on their day off. We went to the Short North to check out 'Out Of The Closet'. It is a thrift store whose proceeds benefit HIV/AIDS. They even do free testing at the store. I found some fun items for the Fall/Winter 2014 season.  Most important I got to spend time with my favorite lady, my mom. 

Leopard is in again this year. "Ladylike Leopards" were all over the runways for Fall. What's more ladylike than pink leopard? Since the  weather is cooler, I decided to layer my neon pink and off white leopard blouse from summer; with a button-up. Layering is a great way to transition into the cooler seasons. I found these vegan leopard oxfords on the Haute Look website for $14. I had to have them! My look was inspired by my shoes with pieces I already owned.

Army Green Studded Collar button-up: Top Shop (old)

Leopard Blouse: Apt 9 at Kohls (old)

Jeans: Levi's

Leopard Oxfords: Red Circle from Haute Look $14

Fedora: My grandpa's

Scarab Necklace: Top Shop (old)

Sunglasses: Quay Australia

Rings: I found the large silver/gold ring in Amish Country Flea Market. The gold nugget pinky ring was my sister's when we were little.

Until next time,

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

I am excited that it is finally looking like spring! Road trips are being planned and the spring clothes are coming out. I am definitely in a better mood. This past weekend I kicked off my travel season. My beau and I took my sister to Amish Country on Saturday. It was her first time in the area. We spent the day shopping for meat, cheese and wine. We had lunch at Berlin Farmstead and browsed the shops in the area. I took these photos at the restaurant and at a furniture shop on the way home. This is what I wore.

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

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!
