If you read my post about how to wear the neon trend, you’ve already seen this outfit. This is a “real life outfit” that I wore on a day out and about. It was one of those days that looked warm with clear blue skies but was quite windy with a nip in the air.… Continue Reading Highlighter Brights with White
I know not everyone loves neon, but I do. When Wham! Came out with their video to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” I was OBSESSED. My parents didn’t have a lot of money, but they got me a neon orange scarf to tie in a big bow on the side of my head and… Continue Reading How to Rock the Neon Trend as a Grown-Ass Woman
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… Continue Reading Commissioning Denisa Piatti Custom Jewelry
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… Continue Reading The Best Swimsuits: Hits and Misses
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… Continue Reading How to Style Overalls

I love that it’s a classic style with an edge thanks to a modern cut and mixed media… Continue Reading What I Wore: Universal Standard Petite Avenir Dress
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? … Continue Reading The Best White Jeans: Reviewing Over 12 Pairs
Ann Taylor reached out asking if I’d like to try their new suiting collection and I jumped at the chance. Long-time readers of Wardrobe Oxygen know I used to be a major Ann Taylor fan and regularly recommended their suiting. In recent years I haven’t found the suiting as high of quality… no more. Their… Continue Reading One Suit Two Ways
I’ve been there. I’ve stood in front of my closet and hated every single thing on the hangers. That has been worn so many times if I have to wear it again I’ll scream. That shirt emphasizes my stomach. I wore that last time I saw these people. Those pants give me diaper butt by… Continue Reading Cancel Your Clothing Subscription Box. Love, Me
