I did a post like this last year but the end of 2018 was so wonky for me I missed a lot of my year-end posts. I find these posts so interesting on other blogs and thought you too may enjoy it. When using affiliate links, I get some great analytics that help me track… Continue Reading Wardrobe Oxygen Readers’ Favorites from 2018
I’m striving to shop my own closet, find new lives for old clothes, and create more style with fewer items in my wardrobe.

Saturday it was raining and I felt under the weather. I didn’t plan on leaving the house; I slept in for the first time in a… Continue Reading What I Wore: Talbots Plaid Cape
For years, I commuted from house to car, and car to office. I could get through most of winter with a cute wool peacoat and my pumps and kept my parka and boots for shoveling snow. When I switched to a job in the city, it gave me a hard dose of winter reality and… Continue Reading Winter Commute Must Haves for Warmth with Style
