Where Sports Meets Style.
It’s no secret that tennis is one of the most stylish sports out there. While I (Megan) have NO athletic ability whatsoever- I’m all about a cute tennis skort, and everyday, effortless jewelry. It took me back to my childhood. My Grandmother has always been very active (wish I got that gene) and growing up she didn’t miss a match at her country club playing doubles with friends. While my Grandmother is more of an everyday/casual lady when it comes to clothing, she always had the best jewelry (and still does). I remember as a girl being obsessed with her gold chain necklace complete with a tennis racket charm that she’d wear everyday. Her staples with diamond studs and classic gold hoops. Yep, she wore these pieces when she played tennis at the club. I’m HERE for sports where they celebrate wearing jewelry!!
Enough of my childhood musings…. a couple weeks ago, our dear friend Anna invited us to a very special event at the jewelry store she manages on King St- Gorjana. We’ve done some fun collabs with Anna/Gorjana before, so we LOVE being on her invite list.
Each year in Charleston in the spring, the city hosts a tennis tournament on Daniel Island called Credit One Charleston Open. Even if you don’t enjoy tennis, it’s the most fun event to attend. It’s outside, there’s frose, and it’s inevitable that you will run into friends. Plus- it’s the PERFECT chance to show off a cute outfit. To celebrate the tournament, Gorjana hosted a party that Monday evening featuring Jessica Pegula. Jessica (or “Jessie” as her friends call her) is a world-renown tennis champ. She’s currently the best women’s tennis player in the US- and 5th world wide. Just kind of a big deal. She recently launched a collaborative line with Gorjana, and we got to go and see the jewelry and meet Jessica herself!
This was me telling Jessica I loved her Prada slides. Literally- she had such a fun, effortless Cali girl type style that we loved. She also told me she liked my outfit so… that’s a win. The next day for Bronson & I’s date night, we got to go watch her play in the tournament (and I got to flex that I met her the night before… LOL). She won her match and crushed it!
Looking to incorporate some tennis girl type style in your wardrobe? Check out this adorable tennis skort we love from Abercrombie. You can wear it running errands around town, at brunch with friends, or playing tennis (HA). We also love this tennis bracelet from Anthro (add to cart!!)
