Color Forward with Tammie Athena

A little midweek dinner date with Mr. Handsome called for one of my favorite formulas... simple, comfortable, and a pop of color. 🧡
I'm wearing a vintage bright orange Cabi tank that I've held onto for years because some pieces are just too good to let go. I paired it with a new pair of high-rise AG jeans that I'm really enjoying. They're a bit heavier for these hot summer days, but they smooth everything out, hold you in, and have the look of a subtle barrel leg without feeling overly trendy.
My bag is my trusty HOBO "Sheila" in the warm honey pebbled leather. I originally bought it for travel, but that beautiful guitar strap has earned it a permanent place in my everyday rotation.
And let's talk about these shoes... 😊
Jelly flats are back! I couldn't resist these Dolce Vita beauties. They're definitely a throwback, but they're so much more comfortable than I remember. Soft, cushiony, and surprisingly easy to wear.
Something tells me you'll be seeing these again. 😉
What trend have you happily welcomed back into your closet?

If you've followed me for a while, you know I have a soft spot for the Somerset Maxi Dress from Anthropologie. 🤍💙
Every season I seem to add another one to my closet, and this newest navy and white polka dot print may be my favorite yet!
What keeps me coming back? It's one of those rare dresses that's just as comfortable as it is flattering. The stretchy waistband is so forgiving, the fabric is light and airy, and it's perfect for these hot summer days.
I recently wore it on a long car ride to Las Vegas, and it couldn't have been a better travel companion. No fuss, no wrinkles, and I stayed comfortable the entire trip.
Back at home, it's become one of those dresses I reach for again and again. It's easy enough for running errands with sandals, but with a few accessories, it's polished enough for a date night with Mr. Handsome.
Those are the pieces I love most—the ones that work as hard as we do. ✨
Do you have a dress in your closet that you find yourself reaching for over and over again? I'd love to hear about it!

Remember- wear the dress!

The cabi Santorini dress is going to save me in this heat 💙🔥

A little lace, a little denim, and a whole lot of effortless style. 🤍✨
I'm loving how feminine the Misty Top feels with its silky fabric and delicate lace details. It's lingerie-inspired but so easy to wear for everyday when paired with your favorite denim.
I styled it with a pair of cabi light vintage wide-leg jeans, the Oyster Bay Belt in the prettiest taupe (it's one of those accessories that truly goes with everything), and finished the look with the olive Snapshot Jacket for a little structure and color.
And can we talk about a pointed-toe shoe with a wide-leg pant? It's one of my favorite styling tricks to instantly elongate your legs. These new pumps from C. Paravano are quickly becoming a favorite!
Classic pieces. Feminine details. Timeless style.

There's something about a matching cotton set that just makes getting dressed so easy. 🤍💙
I've been reaching for this Cabi Ingenue Top on repeat. It's lightweight, comfortable, and one of those pieces that works for everything from brunch to vacation to everyday errands.
My blue-and-white striped skirt has sold out, but it's such a classic style—and the white Ingenue Skirt is still available (and honestly, I've been living in it all season!).
Finished the look with these darling Maeve embroidered mesh ballet flats from Anthropologie, and I couldn't love them more.

Some dresses just make getting ready easy. 
The cabi Kathleen Dress in its beautiful new black color was exactly what I needed for an early dinner on a 100° evening. Styled simply with strappy Sam Edelman sandals, Gorjana jewelry, and my favorite guy, Mr. Handsome. We still adore the pink version, but this black is such a classic. ✨

Nothing says summer quite like an easy white dress. 🤍✨
Heading out for an early dinner wearing the cabi Starfish Dress, paired with Sam Edelman wedges, a Dolce Vita raffia clutch, and my favorite Tom Ford cat-eye sunglasses.
I love how effortless this look feels—polished enough for dinner out, but comfortable enough to enjoy a warm evening stroll afterward. The perfect combination of classic, coastal, and chic.
Do you reach for white dresses in the summer, or are you more of a color girl? ☀️🤍

Easy layers and favorite details 💙✨
I'm wearing the Matchpoint Sweater layered with the Bettina Short Sleeve Jacket and the Cooper barrel jeans in the lighter wash—a combination that feels polished but completely effortless.
Finished the look with my Sam Edelman mesh ballet flats and large Gorjana hoop earrings for a little extra shine.
I love outfits like this that are comfortable enough for a busy day but still feel pulled together. The lighter denim keeps everything feeling fresh for the season, and those mesh flats continue to earn their spot in heavy rotation. 🙌
