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
Tuesday I had meetings in the city. There would be walking, possibly some photos, I wanted to look casual yet polished. My go-to for such situations is jeans, a blazer, and an interesting pair of shoes. These are all wardrobe classics for me and have been for years. The silhouettes may change slightly as new… Continue Reading What I Wore: Wardrobe Classics

When we did our cross-country road trip a few years ago, Karl purchased me a turquoise cuff in Four Corners (seen in this outfit post). My sister bought me a turquoise ring for my 40th birthday, and I have turquoise pieces in my… Continue Reading What I Wore: Turquoise with Denim and White

A shell, a pair of pants, a dress, a skirt, maybe a blouse… things you can mix and match that travel well. For years I suggested… Continue Reading What I Wore: Chico’s Black Label
Who says a small versatile wardrobe has to be full of solid colored boring clothing? I find some of my most-worn pieces are the ones that make quite a statement. One thing I have always found useful in my wardrobe is a dressy t-shirt style blouse in a print. With my body changing, I found… Continue Reading What I Wore: Making Statements
Another week, another suit! I told you I am on a suit kick, but they’re so great for my wardrobe. I wear the pants alone with sweaters, the blazers with jeans, and the suits work for all the social events on my calendar! This one is from 1901 and is a great price and a… Continue Reading What I Wore: Another Week, Another Suit
The other weekend my friend celebrated a milestone birthday. To honor it, his wife threw him a party at their home. Food, drink, even a live band!
