Rollin Rodgers x Molly Green
Kacey Rodgers is cool! Scrolling through TikTok has become a treat I allow myself a few times a day. At a healthy 10 min dose. You really have to limit...

Scrolling through TikTok has become a treat I allow myself a few times a day. At a healthy 10 min dose. You really have to limit yourself on some platforms. I could watch videos of talking singing dachshunds for days but then who would run Molly Green ya know? “Where’s Brittany?” “Oh she’s on a TikTok bender, we haven’t seen her for days!”
One of my favorite corners of Tik Tok is the roller skating community. They’re all about good vibes, good music and lots of good outfits. Humans who can dance skate are something special. They literally make moving fast on shoes with wheels look effortless. I haven’t skated since I was a kid, and only at birthday parties. I never owned a pair of roller skates…I was more of a rollerblader myself. Never professionally. I had to wear a helmet or risk real injury. Also wrist guards. I never graduated to the effortless level of dance float magic that some acquire. I admire that talent in others and I think it looks like pure joy. Like the kind of activity that replaces therapy and gets you through tough times. So when I saw our gal Kacey Rodgers doing her thing on the TikTok I was like “wow, she’s a dream” She has this Dolly Parton on wheels vibe. She’s precious. We connected through the magic of TikTok, amazing.
Since Kacey lives in Chattanooga I thought it would be fun to try and get a shoot together with her in our Radford Flares skating around. She actually lived in Nashville before Chattanooga and loves to visit still. So when she planned a trip for a friends birthday a few weeks ago we made it a point to get together. We met at our Green Hills location and took photos on the upper level of the parking deck. I love getting pictures up there since it’s all sky and it was a gorgeous day let me tell you!

When I got back into roller skating about 2 years ago, I thought to myself I need a “skate style”! One of my favorite pair of pants to skate in were these crazy blue bell bottoms with white stars all over them! I felt like a superstar when I would skate in those pants! I decided then that I wanted to feel like that in every pair of pants I skated in! I ordered those same pants in three different colors lol! I just LOVE the way the retro bells look with my roller skates! The Molly Green Radford Flares are my favorite bells to wear right now!
I would describe my skate style as fun, playful, funky, and retro all in one! To me roller skating represents a way of life. Most skaters I meet are always loving life and exuding good vibes! (Look up Dee Upshaw... he is the epitome of good vibes on skates!) But I wanted to convey those same vibes through my style! I love pairing my bells with classic retro t-shirts, or any top that is sparkly, shiny, or tie dye! Anything that makes me feel playful, I’m wearing it! There are some days I love basic workout wear too. I’ll wear some fun leggings and a sports top if I know I’m really about to get my sweat on!
What is your favorite look? Who's ready to go skate with Kacey?!
One of our stylists at Green Hills, Sydney Whitten, is a talented photographer and she snapped a bunch of amazing moments. You can see more of her work on her website HERE or on Instagram HERE.
