I Want to Hear From You
Last September, I did a Wardrobe Oxygen State of the Blog reader survey (which is still up accepting submissions), and before I could delve into the responses, my mother passed away. My focus has been primarily on my mom's estate and my family, but I'd like to make some changes later this year to improve Wardrobe Oxygen based on your feedback.
This is a simpler survey, focusing on your thoughts on Wardrobe Oxygen and the content I offer here, as well as social media, newsletters, etc. All questions are optional, and all responses are completely anonymous (I am not collecting email or IP addresses). Once I've gathered submissions from this survey, I'll report my findings and what that means.
My primary goal is updating my newsletter system, which I wanted to do last year. Right now, I only have what's called an RSS newsletter: a new post is published, and an email is auto-sent. In the past few months, I have also added a weekly digest that is auto-sent from the engagement tool Grow that I use here on the blog. I wish to personalize the newsletter so you can decide how often and which newsletters you actually want in your inbox.
Your feedback on this reader survey will help me craft future content for the blog and social media. I appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey and all responses, negative, positive, constructive, and otherwise.
Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to explain about CR. That makes so much sense now. I figured her stuff was actually good because you like her products and so does JoLynne Shane (I trust yโall & Iโm glad to know that company treats bloggers well). Some of those Dallas-based bloggers shill HARD so Iโve gotten to where I automatically question anything they recommend. Anyway, keep doing what youโre doing what youโre doing. Your blog is a bright spot in my day!
I love all these ideas and I thank you for sharing more about your life and situation because it helps me know you better and know what kind of content to create for you. Thank you so much!
I love these ideas. As I create posts like that I’ll make a page where I’ll have all of them and put that page into my menus so they’re easy to find. <3
Thanks so much!!!
I think that’s a great idea for a future post, I’ll see if I can find an expert to offer good tips!
Thank you so much Susan! My best to you and yours. <3
Great idea, Tara!
I am looking to get experts to do guest posts or interviews with me so I can share their knowledge for ways to maintain beauty and our wardrobes through this time. I love your ideas, thank you so much!
I’ve got you! I have one about facial hair for next week, in chats with a nail tech and hair stylist to offer pro tips for at-home haircolor and doing our own manis and pedis. I too see this as a good time to save money and time from professional services and possibly simplify my beauty routine by doing things at home. Thank you for these ideas!
Thank you so much!! I’ll keep a good blend with normal content as a high percentage. While I can’t do outfit shoots outside (I guess I could but I don’t want to promote people going out and socializing), we do have studio equipment and I’ll do fashion content with my pink, cream, and white backgrounds!
Thanks for these great suggestions!
Thank you so much Rosie. <3
I made a page called Where I shop, it is now in all the menus to quickly grab a link for shopping. If I have any promo codes, I’ll add them in there too: https://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/where-i-shop/
And I’ll have some posts on beauty at home in the near future. Thank you for these ideas Krista!
Thank you Allison!
Thank you so much Celia!! <3
Thank you so much Maureen! <3
Thank you so much Toban. <3
Thank you so much Bonnie! <3
I like these ideas and will add them to the queue. Thank you Susan!
I haven’t used any of these! I am intrigued and will investigate!
Thank you so much Jane! <3
Thank you for these suggestions, Dee. You and I are on a similar wavelength so I will be having this content. I will have shopping content, but it will be dedicated to posts so you can scroll by. My closet it a disaster so I think it would be a good challenge for an upcoming post, likely with a video too! Thinking of you during this time <3
I don’t listen to a lot but I’ll research it and crowdsource for suggestions!
I need to do another one. The last one I did was focused on plus size readers, and I do need to do more with that (it was way more time consuming than I imagined, took about 20 hours to do that one post just on bras but it was so worth it). But I think I’ll set up another one of my annual polls like I had in the past. Thanks for the suggestion!
I do like the idea of this challenge, I may do it in the Facebook group! Thank you Patty!
I like this idea. I have a post kind of about this going live Sunday but I’ll delve more into it through the weeks. Thank you.
Thank you Johanna! I hope to start my next capsule next month, and I have to write my fashion and beauty hits and misses, I have a list ready to go!
I can totally relate to this! I am in talks with an expert stylist to have them share tips so we can do it as safely and naturally as possible.
That was fun! I’ll look into it and see especially if this continues for a while.
Thank you for these ideas, some are already being put together!
Thank you for these ideas!
Thank you for these ideas, Cat!
Thanks Courtney!
Agreed, this would be an interesting post.
Have you considered doing a fun, semi-permanent color? I don’t any any specific one to recommend, but I had a friend who did that as she was growing out her gray and having green highlights on a base of darker green black (she had dark brown hair) looked amazing. And since many of these are only semi-permanent, you aren’t committing. They are also better for your hair since there is no lightening. (It’s my understanding that some penetrate gray better that others, so obviously that would be key.)
Thank you for that suggestion, Nihongo. That is something I may play with when the root really start to come in. So far I’m only about 1/2″. Sephora and Ulta are both still delivering and if I do a hideous job at least I can’t go out! Off to do my research.
Riara, you are a hero–thank you for being there for sick folks who need you!
Alison, I would welcome either more escapist stuff or more timely stuff. Book, media, app recommendations are welcome. I feel like there’s only so much to be said about WFH fashion but maybe that’s just me? I trust your instincts. Kate
Thanks Kate! Yeah, I want to do WFH in a different way. We don’t need more, we just need to not hate what we have to wear every day, just like when we did leave the house. I’m going to work on that, but also I like the escapist too. We need balance and distractions and some fun to get through all this!
I just posted about the joggers/comfy pants in the FB community last week. I got several great responses and ordered a pair from Soma and two from Old Navy. Alison has referral codes that I used to help the cause. Stay safe!
