I always look forward to Talbots in fall and winter; the fashion is so stylish, on trend, yet also classic. I was already eyeing Talbots Stretch Corduroy Pants after a recommendation by a member of the Wardrobe Oxygen Community, and I saw so many additional styles that I’d like to wear this season. I decided… Continue Reading How to Style Ivory Courdory Pants for Grown Women

What I Wore to Pastis DC

There’s a new restaurant in the Union Market District in Washington, D.C., and the name may sound familiar to some who have dined in the Big Apple (or watched Sex and the City). Pastis, the French Restaurant in New York City’s Meatpacking District, has opened a second Pastis here in DC. I went to dinner… Continue Reading What I Wore to Pastis DC

Dressing for the Occasion and the Cold

My daughter and I recently went to see the Broadway musical Annie at the National Theater in D.C. While theater used to be a time for folks to dress up, these days people wear most anything to shows. I choose to still look dressed up as I find going to the theater a celebration, and… Continue Reading Dressing for the Occasion and the Cold

Universal Standard 4-in-1 Hybrid Puffer Review

Black coats are practical and classic, but sometimes a person craves color during the grayest months of the year. Thing is, when you are looking for color as well as practicality for a winter’s day, it’s hard to find in larger clothing sizes.

Move Over Viva Magenta, I’m Crushing on Fuchsia

Before Lockdown, I used to get my nails done on a regular basis. I do powder fill acrylic; as someone who chews her nails and cuticles I find this type of nail keeps me from gnawing (makes my nails too thick to reach my cuticles and covers the nail), it lasts without chipping (up to… Continue Reading Move Over Viva Magenta, I’m Crushing on Fuchsia
