Thrifted Tulip Hem Pants for the Botanical Gardens
I put away a lot of my denim and pants mid spring until fall as it gets way to hot to wear them during the summer months with the heat and humidity here in Georgia. However, I have a few pairs of lighter denim that I occasionally wear and this pair of thrifted tulip hem denim is one I enjoy pulling out on a cooler summer day. I almost didn’t buy them as they are a little loose around the waist and stretch out some, however it’s nothing that a belt can’t fix. The tulip hem is so fun and I am glad I bought them. As most things from…

Atlanta Northside 4 Miler 2026
Last year, one of the gals in our group, Tricia, suggested we run the Women Northside 4 miler which happens on the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend. A nice group from our running club loved the idea especially as we decided to have brunch after (and a few of us also spent the night the day before and had dinner). This year, we repeated the experience and enjoyed similar overcast weather which was great for running. You can see some pictures from last year in this post. One of the things I really like about this race is that is is only for women, the course is 4 miles and…

What to Wear to Church
I am having fun with these posts, but as I mentioned before, there is often not a right or wrong thing to wear for different occasions: it depends on your personal style, how much you like to dress up or not and how comfortable something is. However, it this instance, there might be some unspoken rules about what is appropriate to wear to your church. As I am Orthodox, there is an emphasis on modesty in church (which I think should apply to most churches). Some Orthodox churches are more strict than others as to what is appropriate, but if you are visiting a church or monastery in countries like…

What to Wear to a Concert
I’ve been having fun with this little series of what to wear to different events because really it all depends on your personal style and comfort as to what you would wear for different occasions and places. Today, I am sharing an outfit I wore to my son’s high school chorus concert, but this could be an outfit you could wear to a bridal or baby shower, a school banquet or dinner with your friends! Here are my other two posts, what to wear to a picnic and what to wear on a fieldtrip. I always like to dress up a little for school events, but since I wore a…

Fun with Friends
I made time for friends the last couple of months, so I am sharing some of those moments here today. With our busy lives, sometimes it is hard to get together, but I love that we try to make time for each other. We become each other support systems, lend an ear, run a mile or seven, eat, laugh and cry together. I am very thankful for my friends. It doesn’t matter how we met, but how we keep connected and grow in our friendships. Running Friends The group looks different every Saturday depending at what time we run and everyone’s family schedule, but most weeks, I run on Saturday…

Little Dresses for Many Occasions
With end of year events for the kids and some social outings for me, I thought it would be fun to wear some of my shorter dresses for these occasions and today, I am sharing a recap of those outfits with you. While a little black dress or a little white dress is a classic in everyone’s wardrobe, having a variety of dresses to wear for a dinner out or a school occasion creates some variety. Tennis Banquet I love red with turquoise and I have done the combo before with this dress, but using different accessories, so they was not a new idea, but was a great combo. Dresses…

Yellow for Spring: Daily Outfits
When I realized that yellow was a color that I wore a lot in the spring, I decided to do a round up of the outfits I wore. It appears that I like to combine yellow with blue a lot! These are all outfits I wore this spring. Here’s a perfect example of how I like to wear yellow. I played around with this thrifted sleeveless top and decided to be the boss of my clothes like Jodie always inspires us, and layered a shirt under. Since the sleeves usually give me a problem with not staying up, I used my Maggie Snaps (I think she went out of business),…

SCAD Fashion Museum, Atlanta
A few weeks ago, Kathrine (from Kathrine Eldridge blog) and I met up when she came to Atlanta to visit her son who is studying here for his Master’s degree. We met earlier in the fall and when I saw an ad for the SCAD Fashion Museum, I thought it would be a fun outing for us since it was near where she was staying. SCAD stands for the Savannah College of Art and Design and they have a campus in downtown Atlanta. The museum is located at the top of the building and the admission fee was $10 with free parking (which is a definite plus in downtown Atlanta!).…

Inspired Style: Exploring Layered Belts and Texture
Last month, Jodie shared a post with 10 different inspired street styles in a blog post. She demonstrated how you didn’t have to copycat a look to create a look that is still inspired by a picture. You can look at the textures used, the color combinations, or just one part of an outfit. I really enjoyed her post and reached out to see if she wanted to collaborate on a similar post and she sent me this inspiration picture. So we used this picture to create some looks. Here is her post! The first thing I noticed in the picture was the layered obi belt with the pearls. That…

Scarves: Unique Ways to Wear them with the Ageless Style Link Up
Today, the Ageless style ladies are sharing spring scarves. I have worn a lot of scarves over the years, some years more than others, and for a while I wore infinity scarves when they were popular. I still have them, but seldom wear them anymore. Last fall, I shared some modern scarf outfits after having thrifted a few square scarves in (this post), and today, I wanted to continue to inspire you to wear your necks carves and silk scarves in a fresh new way. Scarf with a necklace I think this was my favorite way to style a scarf in that last post. In that one, I used a…
