    Weekend with My Racing Friends

    Earlier this year, my friend Patricia suggested a Mother’s Day Weekend race with Atlanta Track Club. This race was to take place in Buckhead, in Atlanta and was to be 4 miles. 11 of us from our Saturday Sunrise running crew signed up and met for brunch afterwards. Patricia, her sister, my friend Gretchen (who I walk with and run with several times a week) decided to meet up the evening prior and go out to dinner and we stayed at nearby hotels. Gretchen and I shared a good laugh when I picked her up for our ride to Buckhead: we were dressed alike! It was really fun to have…

    Bohemian White Maxi: 3 Outfit Ideas

    I shared this skirt for the first time last month in an outfit I called bohemian dream. I have since worn it several times and have loved it each time. That is a confirmation that this fun maxi skirt was a good buy! Today, I am sharing 3 outfits that were inspired by some outfits I saw on Pinterest. With a Chambray Shirt I saw 2 outfits on Pinterest that  featured a chambray and I liked both. I decided to first wear the skirt without a belt because I knew I would wear 2 outfits with belts for this blog post. I am so glad I am liking this thrifted…

    Mother’s Day Outfit

    We took my mom and dad out for Mother’s Day after church to the same restaurant we went to last year: La Cubana in Marietta. It’s just a few minutes from church, the food is good and the prices reasonable and there is a great mural for family pictures. While we waited for my parents, I had one of the boys take some blog pictures for me. I shared what I wore last year (here) and I wanted to wear something different this year. I chose this purple dress since I had not worn it in a while and I love the color and shimmery details. I shared it last…

    Spring and Summer Purses and Totes

    I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the purses that I like to wear in spring and summer. I like to rotate them every couple of weeks as I have a lot of totes and purses that are cute for the warm months. In the winter and fall, I tend to wear a purse for about a month before I alternate it. Here are some recent thrifted finds followed by a couple favorites that I have had a little longer and were not thrifted. Thrifted Fringe Purse What a fun find! The bag is a loose macrame and is very well made. I got it for just …

    Thrifted Corset Top 3 Ways

    Today, I am sharing a corset top 3 Ways. I thrifted it last month when I was searching for cognac/caramel tone pieces to add to my closet. The price was right ($3) for something that I knew I could wear at least a couple of different ways. When I shared my outfit on my Instagram stories, Jodie reached out to me to collaborate on a blog post featuring different ways to wear a corset top and here is the link to her post. I thought it would be fun to see how I could wear it and it was definitely something I had to experiment with. I had 2 outfit…

    Graphic Tees for Spring and Summer

    After styling a graphic tee last month for our Ageless style link up post, I was inspired to pull out my graphic tees and wear them with a variety of pieces in my closet. None of these combinations are new, but I did try to style them in ways I had not before. Here are outfits I wore a couple weeks ago. Inspired by Marsha I was inspired by Marsha’s Ageless Style post last month to put this look together. It is such an easy outfit to recreate as most of us have a white tee and a denim skirt in our closet. My skirt here is actually a thrifted…

    Black and White with the Ageless Style Link Up

    This month’s theme for the Ageless Style Link Up is black and white. I love this classy combination and have worn it several times as you will see at the end of the post. Since I had not worn this black, white and gold tunic in quite a while, I decided it was time for it to reappear on the blog. I think I have had for about 10 years and I think the cut and colors make it a timeless piece. It is nice and stretchy, so it has worked for me when my weight has fluctuated. Pairing it with white keeps it a fresh spring or summer look…

    Bohemian Dream: A Spring Trend Favorite

    I have always loved embroidery, flow maxi skirts and dresses, crochet and tassels. So when I saw that one of the 2025 spring trends was titled bohemian dream, I knew I had to put together a fun boho inspired outfit. I had been wanting to update my white peasant skirt for a while (I had one for years from Old Navy and had to get rid of it a few years ago)  and the one my mom gave me last year was fine, but a little tight. After some online searching, I found one that I liked at Francesca’s and headed to the mall. I called ahead to make sure…

    Spring Outfit Inspiration: 2nd Edition

    I shared some inspired by outfits at the end of the March here and started to come across more outfits that inspired me so I decided to share them today. I love shopping my closet and this is a fun way to come up with new outfits. Inspired by Curated by Jennifer I love how Jennifer tries to wear her closet and buy substainable clothing when she does buy something new. She enjoy copying outfits from Turkish ditzis and rewears her clothes in new ways. Nothing better than to copy one of her looks! She shared this outfit in a post here and as soon as I saw it, I…

    White Dress over Denim

    I thrifted this fun white dress last spring and was instantly in love with the embroidery details and fun cut (and pockets!). When planning my Easter outfits, I knew I wanted to wear this white dress for one of them (we have 2 church services we attend), but in a different way than in the past (I wore it with white leggings and sandals last Easter). So I decided to style it in a more casual manner since we would go to our church’s party after the Agape Vespers on Sunday. I wore another white dress of our Pascha/Easter service and liturgy which starts around 11:30 PM and lasts several…
