the wordy girl

Gyros, Zeus, ouzo, the Olympics, philosophy, Mykonos, togas — this Greek girl loves all-things Hellenic (especially tzatziki sauce and chicken kebabs. And big fat Greek weddings). So this white draped dress by Miami-based designer Lorie Lester paired with 305-based headband brand Tassel and a Ramona La Rue belt has me feeling all Spartan warrior badass and stuff. LIKE, DON’T MESS WITH ME BECAUSE I WILL FUCK YOUR DAY UP. 

Honestly, clothes are empowering — much like a power suit one wears during interviews or important meetings with the Big Boys. And this entire ensemble has a decidedly goddess Athena feel to it. A little mythology lesson for you: Athena was the embodiment of wisdom, reason and purity. She was often symbolized as an owl — which is where the saying “wise as an owl” stems from. 

And that’s our Greek lesson for the day, pupils. Circling back to what I was saying earlier, this look taps into my inner Greek roots and I looooove that. 

Opa!
