It’s clear by now that I am a fan of Soma for sleepwear, loungewear, and intimates. As someone with a larger bust, and one who has soft curves and is over 40, I appreciate a retailer that offers a great range of styles and sizes of bras and undies as we all don’t have the… Continue Reading Building a Summer Bra Wardrobe (+ Other Favorite Summer Undies from Soma)
Zappos reached out and wanted me to do a post on Instagram for them. I was down, because I love Zappos and have shopped Zappos forever. Gosh, here’s a post of my raving about Zappos way back in 2008! The selection at Zappos is great, especially for someone who has fussy feet and can’t buy… Continue Reading The Best Wide Width Shoes for Summer from Zappos
I don’t know why I haven’t done a review of my Printfresh pajamas until now. Oh yeah, now I remember. Because Printfresh pajamas need to be washed at least three times to become awesome. In fact, the more you wash them, the more you will like them. You’ve likely seen Printfresh pajamas on your social… Continue Reading Sustainable and Size-Inclusive Cotton Pajamas: A Printfresh Review
I don’t do a lot for Mother’s Day on this blog because I know not everyone has a child, and a lot of people have complicated relationships with the women who raised them. But this collaboration between Universal Standard x Planned Parenthood is not only really cool looking, but I love their take on motherhood.… Continue Reading Size-Inclusive Graphic Tees for a Great Cause: Universal Standard x Planned Parenthood
After writing about stylish wide width shoes for spring and summer, I thought it made sense to share what shoes I plan on wearing now that the world is opening up and the temps are rising. These are all shoes that are either in my closet or because they are sold out, a worthy alternative.… Continue Reading My Spring and Summer Shoe Wardrobe

This is a way to ensure the smaller brands get the full revenue from the purchase, while also learning more about these brands. And this is how I learned… Continue Reading Dazey LA Review: Sustainable Yet Fun Fashion
So, Universal Standard has this new promotion going on through April 30th called “Spin for Style” and they invited me to try it and share on Instagram. I thought it was a cool concept (and a great way to save on Universal Standard) so I thought to share with you here on the blog too.… Continue Reading Chic Yet Comfy: Universal Standard Spin for Style
Over the past year, many of you here at Wardrobe Oxygen and in the Wardrobe Oxygen Community have been desiring reviews on smaller fashion brands, sustainable fashion, women- and Black-owned clothing retailers, and lesser-known size-inclusive apparel companies. In an effort to offer a variety of reviews of quality brands, I have reached out to members… Continue Reading The Tiny Closet Review: Ethical Minimalist Fashion
Way back in 2018 (which feels both like a year ago and a decade ago) a reader in the Wardrobe Oxygen Community asked me to review the wrinkle-free linen from Chico’s. Was it truly a no-iron linen? And if so, how did it look, feel, and wear? Here is the link to my Chico’s no-iron… Continue Reading Wrinkle-Free Linen from Chico’s
