I love hoop earrings, and since high school, I’ve worn bamboo hoops. Although I still wear them, I feel they are looking a bit try-hard on me if not with just the right outfit. I don’t walk around with a t-shirt saying, “No really, I’ve worn these earrings for 25 years” and a middle-aged white…
Last week we discussed the difficulty in finding a great pair of white jeans. This week, another difficult item to shop for, swimsuits. The worst! If they fit on the bottom they don’t on the top, they ride, they sag, they showcase everything we want hidden, they don’t support or if they do they lack…
It’s clear I love overalls. I own four pairs and have been tempted to purchase more. They’re fun and look funky and artsy. They don’t care if you ate a whole burrito from Chipotle and are way more comfy, especially when sitting and on humid days, than a pair of jeans. I loved overalls back…
Wow, this felt like a true “blogger week”. Some weeks I feel like I’m still at my job, just working from home. I spend all day in front of the computer or else on conference calls. But some weeks, there are a lot of varying things, things I never would have been able to do…

I find jeans to be one of the hardest things to shop for, right up there with bras and swimwear. When it comes to white jeans, it’s even more difficult. They’re transparent, they bag out, they’re too thin, they’re shaped weird… why is it so hard to take a wardrobe staple and make it wearable? …
So yesterday’s post was controversial. And let me tell you, it wasn’t easy for me to agree to it. This is what I shared yesterday in the WO2 Community regarding the choice: I live in a metro area; I am walking distance (not a quick walk but walk if need be) to a Target, a…
If you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, you know I’ve been thinking a lot about the cost and accessibility of fashion. I’ve let my privilege get in the way of offering a broad variety of brands and price points on Wardrobe Oxygen. Also, I have boycotted certain brands because of my personal…
Last year, my mom moved from the house we lived in for 40 years to a smaller rowhome closer to where my sister and I live. Wanting to simplify her life, she had no need for such a large home, and didn’t want to continue dealing with the repairs and maintenance required for an old…
