Since the beginning of this blog, I have preached the benefit of having a mini capsule wardrobe of pieces in a seasonless fabric that can dress up or down. 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
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
This suit is no stranger to Wardrobe Oxygen. The first time it was on the blog was in March of 2016 and I’ll be honest, it was a bit snug. The fabric is stretchy so it did stretch a bit with time but the jacket always pulled a bit across the shoulders. The pants are… Continue Reading What I Wore: What’s Old Made New
I was tempted to call this post, “What I Wore: Bad hair and too much wind for a photo shoot.” Honestly, if I wasn’t sharing my real life core wardrobe, I’d likely scrap this shoot but this is real life and what I really wore the other day. What I wore was a really bad… Continue Reading What I Wore: Universal Standard Basics

While this is a blog that focuses on style, I think that extends past the wardrobe, dressing table, and medicine cabinet. This list of my favorite things, like Oprah’s list,… Continue Reading Alison’s Favorite Things of 2018

When I saw it came with a sleeve I had to have it (and shocker, added it to my latest holiday capsule wardrobe). I think it’s a great way to… Continue Reading What I Wore: One Shoulder
Just call me a hypocrite, or maybe a convert. Just a few short months ago I told a reader to get rid of a pair of high-waisted cropped wide-leg jeans and now here I am wearing a pair. These aren’t the kind jeans that will make my legs look a mile long or my figure… Continue Reading What I Wore: Cropped Wide-Leg Jeans
Welcome to the latest edition of cute things from my closet that didn’t get the royal treatment from Photographer Husband! As a reminder, you can see most of these looks on Instagram and Instagram Stories, but for those who don’t use the ‘gram or want the deets on where to get these pieces, here you… Continue Reading What I Wore Off the Blog
This is what I wore yesterday when I was the guest speaker at a class on blogging and marketing at Howard University. When I got home, Karl snapped a few photos. I wanted to look accessible but not too try-hard, polished but not stuffy. My friend who is the professor of the class offered a… Continue Reading What I Wore: Bonjour!
