Happy Thanksgiving!

Today in America is a day of giving thanks. For slowing down, spending time with loved ones, and focusing on what really matters. I want to take a moment to thank all of you for being a part of Wardrobe Oxygen. This past year has been a tough one, but it has been easier knowing I have you all here. I am honored you choose to read Wardrobe Oxygen and thanks to your feedback, I have grown as a person. From the ten years of writing here, I have become less judgmental, more accepting, more aware, and I have found not just my personal style but my personality. Thank you.

Now get off the computer and get to being an IRL lovable person with other IRL loved ones. And do me a favor… don't patronize stores today. The sales can wait. Vote with your pocketbooks – if we don't shop on Thanksgiving maybe the retailers will take a day off and let their employees have a break and get the opportunity to celebrate with their loved ones too.
