I shared these pants from the Black woman-owned fashion brand Evryday Jane in my Friday Shop post. These are the kind of pants you buy not because you’re trying to whittle your waist or “flatter your figure” but because they are unique and fun and architectural while also being super comfy.

Yesterday, my daughter and I walked the few blocks to my mom’s house to visit. It was in the 90s and steamy, one of those summer days when you didn’t have to look at the news or an app to know that the blue skies would change later afternoon into a shower.

The week started off warmer… Continue Reading What I Wore Last Week: May 11, 2020

Recently in the Wardrobe Oxygen community, a member asked about this puffin sweater and if it was acceptable to wear as a grown-ass… Continue Reading Styling Novelty Pieces as a Grown-Ass Woman
I realized I haven’t done one of these posts recently. Since my summer road trip, I haven’t been as click-happy with my phone and haven’t captured as many looks but I’ll try to be better about that. I love when I see what people wear for their day-to-day, and since a lot of what I… Continue Reading What I Wore Off the Blog
In a recent Weekend Reads, I suggested a pair of ponte cropped wide leg pants from LOFT as a good buy during one of their sales. I decided to buy a pair and see if I was right, that they were a good wardrobe addition and show how to style them. This is a casual… Continue Reading Ponte Cropped Wide Leg Pants
