Counteract the gray days with cozy colorful clothes! 🌈 This cashmere sweater set is the prettiest teal and I loved how it looked with this candy pink Chesterfield coat. All are from @anntaylor one of my favorite places to shop because Ann has petites over a size 12. Also all of these items are on sale!

While I did receive these clothes as a gift from Ann Taylor I am under no obligation to share with you. This is what I wore to work and when I saw these colors against the green of my building door I had to prop up my phone and capture the color combo!

This sweater is a classic and with the skirt is created a dress effect you can style with tall boots, ankle boots and tights, or dress down with sneakers. I linked to other pieces in this color that would also look dreamy with this skirt, as well as other gorgeous colorful coats.

For reference I am wearing the coat in XL petite and the sweater set in L. I am 5’3” and usually wear a 14/16

Just got back from a 4-night getaway with my sister @debbiefaye78 at @curacaomarriottbeachresort. It was a last-minute planned trip that ended up being perfect. We weren’t ready to celebrate Thanksgiving without our mom and this escape what just what our hearts needed. 

I’ll be sharing more once I finally unpack my suitcase and organize my photos and thoughts; but I couldn’t not share this picture from yesterday morning. Debbie and I got up early to enjoy some of the day at the resort before flying home to DC. We had the infinity pool to ourselves, finished our books, and relaxed before a long day of travel. 🌴

It’s hard when you’re petite and most models aren’t; you have no idea how clothes, especially jeans will fit. To promote @universalstandard’s Denim Drive sale, the company sent me two pairs of jeans of my choice. And I chose to make this video to show how they fit on my 5’3” body. I am usually a 14/32 in jeans but at Universal Standard I wear a 12 because they’re super stretchy and generously sized. 

With jeans as low as $35 in sizes 00-40, this is a sale not to be missed. And use code INFS-BFALISON10 for an additional 10% off sitewide!

The Farrah Flare is a favorite because at my height, most flare jeans will lose what makes them special once hemmed. At a 30” inseam these are great with low heels or lug soles.

The Etta is a straight jean with a vintage fit. If in doubt size down. They’re also super stretchy and the 28” inseam (they also come in 31”) works with my boots and sneakers.

While I was provided the apparel in this Reel for free, I was not paid or contracted to create this content. Consider it a PSA for my fellow shorties shopping this fab denim sale!

Thanks to @talbotsofficial I’m ready for the holidays! #AD

I love Talbots for holiday fashion and this season’s new arrivals do not disappoint. And for Black Friday the entire site is 40% off with free shipping on orders $150+. Until noon, you also receive 50% off 1 regular price item!

I ordered pieces from the Talbots Holiday Collection and found great quality, great style, and great versatility. How cute is the Breton stripe bateau neck with the removable feather cuffs? The metallic plaid patio skirt is so fun, and these two dresses can glam up or dress down with a change of footwear and bag. For reference, I am wearing everything in either XL or 16 petite.

The ivory cords are also Talbots; the black trousers are from last year’s Talbots Holiday Collection showing how Talbots has lasting style. I’ve linked to exact or very similar in my LTK shop.

Working on the weekend is far more enjoyable when it’s in my office 💚

Perimenopause and the pandemic and homeschooling made our row home feel even smaller. So when neighbors revitalized an office building in our town center and offered individual offices for rent, I felt it would be good for business and personally. And I kept it when the world opened up and our kid went back to public school because it helps me have a clear start and end to the work day, but also because I created a space I really enjoy.

This weekend I went to the office to shoot some content. And once I was finished I enjoyed just sitting here, watching the light change. I think I may switch the furniture around, switch up the energy. I love that I can do that without consulting another or having another person’s opinions matter.

When you have a family, things go from me to we. I don’t regret leaving Corporate America to do this full time, but I do miss being part of a team. And I missed having an office, a place away from home that’s just for me. 

I wish more communities would offer rental offices like @thegranitebuilding. With reasonably affordable monthly rates, it doesn’t have to just be business owners who get office spaces. It can be a place to work on a hobby or craft, a place to WFH that’s not home, or a place to just read and write and nap undisturbed. A literal room of one’s own. Because sometimes a person needs time to be a me and not a we. 💚

You’re never too old for a Rory Gilmore sweater… this cotton fisherman sweater is from @llbean and inspired by @marielle.elizabeth I shopped the men’s department for a better size range. The influencer influenced the influencer!

The jeans are @landsend I got last year and I’m glad they brought them back this year in several washes, inseam lengths, and plus sizes. If in doubt, size down. They will shrink in length slightly but not anywhere else, they’re super comfy and stretchy but don’t stretch out. 

Kept the collegiate vibe going with a trucker cap, HOKAs, and my trusty commuter bag for years: the large @dagnedover Dakota backpack!

It’s Cozy Season, and @tjmaxx is here to update our wardrobes with stylish accessories and apparel from the best brands for less. #AD

I recently visited tjmaxx.com and was so impressed with the array of elevated designer labels, on-trend looks, and the best prices. This pearl-encrusted beanie is from a woman designer I have admired for years; tjmaxx.com has the matching gloves and other pieces from this label to make a great set for yourself or to gift another. These earrings I’ve seen from the same designer at department stores; in fact I own other earrings from this label and paid much more for them. I should have checked T.J.Maxx first! And this cozy poncho is the perfect layer for late fall in the DC area.

I love how the winter white pieces elevate my existing closet. And pearls can be worn for day or glam up for evening. I can see many ways I’ll be styling these designer accessories from #tjmaxx all season long!

My husband has a special backpack he fills with weight to wear while hiking; it’s called rucking. I wear a @dagnedover Dakota and fill it with my laptop, my iPad, a full water bottle, and my purse and walk to work; it’s called commuting. 💁🏻‍♀️

But seriously, I’ve had this backpack for five years. It has been shoved under plane seats, in overstuffed car trunks, under feet in the passenger seat. I’ve worn it as I’ve walked miles in major cities and from my house to my town center. My daughter also has a Dagne Dakota; it survived middle school and continues to work through camping, sleepovers, and road trips. It’s genially designed, comfortable, and can take a beating and still look great.

As for the rest of the look, the vest (XL) is a new purchase from @athleta; the Rainier tights (L) are also Athleta but two years old. The purple top is @nike and about a decade old. Hat is @llbean and it’s on sale for less than $15. And my trusty @hoka sneakers that have had their own set of adventures.

$15 Soma Bra Sale!

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

woman in white shirt with a lacy black bra peeking out
Peeking under this white shirt is the Soma Sensuous Lace Bra – a fave I share below!

I'm so excited to share that today only, Soma is offering all Soma brand bras for only $15! This promotion is only online and only today, Sunday August 25th. The details:

  • Only one $15 per customer – use promo code 38010 at checkout
  • This is only for Soma brand bras, not other brands sold on the Soma site
  • No price adjustments for previous purchases
  • If you spend $50 or more, you will receive free shipping
  • Soma has bras in bands from 32-46, cups A-H, and clothing and intimates XS-3XL

I'm a big Soma fan. I recently had the chance to visit their corporate office in Florida (recap to come) and I learned even more about their design, technology, and innovation. As a woman with a large bust, I'm super picky about my bras and some of my favorites are from Soma; read my latest favorite bras post which features Soma and other brands. Soma does such a good job marrying style, support, and comfort. My picks:

  • Stunning Support Balconette Bra – This gives me lift and great shape while being pretty and comfortable. This has a lace pattern but it's invisible under light-colored and lightweight knits. This is a great everyday bra and t-shirt bra. Here's my original review.
  • Stunning Support Strapless Bra – This is MY FAVORITE STRAPLESS BRA. It deserves all caps because never before have I owned a strapless bra that lifts, gives shape, and is comfortable for several hours. For years I shopped based on bra, but now I can wear spaghetti straps, halters, and off the shoulder looks without issue.  Here is my original review from earlier this year.
  • Cooling Full Coverage Bra – I did a review of the Cooling Balconette and it's great, but I've since tried the full-coverage version and find the fit much better for my shape. And it really does keep you cool – I wore this bra all day to a music festival in the heat and sun and didn't end up with under-boob sweat, chafing, or feeling as though my bra was a heavy sponge.
  • Sensuous Lace Unlined Bra – Usually, the larger the bust size the uglier the bra. This is a truly beautiful bra that comes in larger sizes and also provides support. If you want something a bit sexier without sacrificing lift and shape, this is a great choice.
  • Vanishing Back Full Coverage Bra – I have had the chance to try many bras from these new trendy online-only bra companies. Each time I get what is usually the only style for a larger bust, I try it and think, “This is their sad attempt at Soma's Vanishing Back Bra.” This bra is uber comfortable, it's completely invisible even under fitted knits, comes in some beautiful colors and prints, and is just so smartly designed. Little things, like the strap adjustment is in the front, not the back. If you look inside the cup you'll see three sections; each one offers a different level of stretch to ensure lift, support, but a natural shape. Even though it goes up to a G cup and 44 band, the straps aren't all big and bulky so you can wear it with thinner-strapped tops and dresses. This bra is a must in almost every woman's lingerie drawer.
  • Lightest Lift Perfect Full Coverage Bra – Now, this one isn't perfect for me, but it's a freaking fantastic bra. It's so light, like the weight of a pair of underwear light. It's pretty, and I'd say up to a DD cup it offers great support and shape. It does fit me and gives good shape, but I personally prefer more lift. But this bra is seriously worth a check.
  • Enbliss Wireless Bralette – Again, if you're a smaller bust (even if you're a larger band), this is a great bra. This is a good sleep bra, lounge bra, and offers enough support and shape that it can also be your long flight bra, quick run to Target and bump into your ex bra, and vacation bra. Every woman I met on the Soma trip swears by this bra. I'm just a bit too large for it (I wear a G in Soma bras).
  • Enbliss Bra Tank – The same thing as the bralette, but a full-length tank.  It's a refined fabric so you can wear it under pieces but also let it show.  My friend Tanya loves it for travel with leggings and a long cardigan. I think it would also be great for lounging or tucked into full pants or a full skirt.  It comes in colors but also a few skin tones too to over modesty under sheerer pieces (perfect with a pointelle or open-knit sweater!).

For those who have not shopped with Soma online before a few facts:

  • If you are a member of Shoprunner, shipping and returns are always free at Soma. If you join their free Love Soma Rewards program, you will occasionally get free shipping and the more you buy from Soma, you will always receive free shipping. Click here to learn more about the Love Soma rewards program; click here to learn more about Shoprunner which is free and works for a variety of retailers.
  • Returns must be made within 60 days and be either in original condition or defective. You will receive a prepaid return label with your purchase; if you use it $7 will be taken from your return. You can also make online returns for free at any Soma boutique.
  • International orders, please visit this link for the information on how to make returns.
  • I highly recommend visiting a Soma boutique to get a professional fitting. Our bodies change so much with diet, activity, age, and life changes that we should be fitted a minimum of once a year. Even if you're still wearing the same clothing size, it's likely that your bra size has changed. If you do not have a Soma near you, they have a cool tool called INNOFIT which lets you find your size in the comfort of your own home. Read my Soma INNOFIT review.

I hope you get to take advantage of this amazing promotion. Do let me know what bra you get, and to help fellow Wardrobe Oxygen readers, if you're comfortable, in the comments share your favorite Soma bras!

    It worked for me, late Sunday night Central time. YOU RULE Allie! Nothing like a high quality bra for under $25 shipped! I tried the Vanishing back although I’m also very intrigued by the Cooling bra after the summer we’ve been having.

    Fortunately, I took your advice to get an in-store fitting before ordering — because the website has been so buggy today, they honored the promotion in the stores. I got a “vanishing back” bra but I’m particularly happy with the bralette. It’s nice to have a bra less structured for casual times, but that still has some control. I agree that there might not be enough support in the bralette for women with a larger bust, but as a D cup I felt comfortable.

    I hope that some other women got a chance to purchase! The website problems are very frustrating, I can imagine.

    I guess the word is out about the Soma sale. I’ve been trying for about 30 minutes and I’m in an endless loop of logging in, entering the promo code, and entering my payment method. The most recent error said that my payment method wasn’t sufficient enough to cover the $5.95 shipping. It scared me enough to check my bank statement and I was relieved to see it’s a problem on Soma’s end. Now I have a “site maintenance” screen. I must be too late to the party. 🙂

    This is everything. Thank you so much for putting fun and practical content out there. I’ve been following you for a year here and on insta and I enjoy getting outfit inspiration and living vicariously through your travels. I never comment on the blogs I follow (does that make me a lurker? Gross) but this post about finding a good strapless bra for busty gals is like the holy grail for me. I also read your post about how blogs make money and it actually made me feel more empowered and aware as a consumer. I’m happy to put my money toward the influencers I enjoy and trust. That’s you! Thanks!

Another day of early voting for our city election, another outfit I wore as an election judge! 🗳️

I got this sweater set from @mmlafleur last spring and it continues to be a favorite. The color and popcorn stitch makes it wearable three seasons of the year. I’ve styled it with gold heels and dramatic gold earrings, with sneakers and a crossbody belt bag, and more than once with knee-high boots and a scarf at my throat. The color works with brown and black boots, the skirt silhouette and length with heels and flats. These brown riding boots are from @duoboots and almost a decade old. The scarf belonged to my dad; I have a feeling it was styled with a leisure suit back in the day!

I may have been more dressed up than other election judges but I think seeing democracy in action is a cause to celebrate! 🇺🇸

Early voting poll worker style 🗳️

I’ve been an election judge (AKA poll worker) for several years but this year I decided to take it a step further and join my city’s Board of Elections. I’m passionate about fair and accessible elections for all. The Board is acting as election judges for early voting so it’s great to use my previous experience on a city level!

I believe voting is a special occasion and I dressed the part. The puff sleeve sweater and pants are from @anntaylor; these pants are the same ones from the suit I wore earlier this week. I added a beloved @hermes scarf as a belt and silver hoops (they belonged to my mom) as a hint of shine.

If your area is having an election this coming week; I implore you to vote. Your voice deserves to be heard. And please ensure your neighbors know of the election and where to vote. 🇺🇸

Always fun to see my name in lights! 💡 I was a panelist at the annual @jaofcentralmd Leading Ladies event that connects local high schoolers with women in business. My panel was on using social media for promoting one’s business or personal brand. Along with other social media experts, we guided students and adults on how to create compelling and engaging social content and together created content for the conference’s feed. It was fun and I loved being able to share my almost two decades of personal and professional experience!

The dress code for the conference was business professional and since the event’s theme color was pink, they encouraged us to wear the color. 

This @anntaylor suit has been a favorite since late summer. I’ve dressed it down with a white tank and sneakers and glammed it up with a silk cami and gold heeled sandals. I love how Ann Taylor has petite suiting up to size 16; I know I’m not the only short curvy girl who desires suits and professional attire!

For this event I chose a berry-colored microfiber tank from @lovechicos. I own several of these tanks; they wear like iron and the tight weave and subtle shine make them great shells under suits. 

The look fit the theme but was also comfortable. I was glad to share my expertise and encourage others to see how they can donate their time and knowledge to a local @juniorachievementusa #JALeadingLadies #JALeadingLadies2023 #JACMD #JuniorAchievment

Sharing this from my #iPadOS17 thanks to @apple! A bit belated with all that has been going on lately but I’m really enjoying using an iPad to improve how I work, stay organized, and find new ways to be creative. Can I just say that editing video on an iPad instead of a phone is a game changer!

Recently, I attended an event at the gorgeous Apple Carnegie Library hosted by @flourishplanner_ to learn ways to make the most of #iOS17 and it was awesome. I brought my new iPad and learned about the new wallpaper, stickers, and organizing tools.

As for my look, the dress is from @bananarepublic’s summer collection. Kept it comfy with a pair of Samba sneakers and held down the volume of the dress with my black recycled leather @ganni crossbody. Added an old @_jennybird link necklace and a silver cuff I’ve had since the ‘90s.

I love an excuse to dress up, especially if it’s for a good cause! This weekend was the @thenewdealcafe Masquer-AID fundraiser to support this independent cafe, art gallery, and live music venue in @cityofgreenbelt.

My family and I have loved going to The New Deal Cafe for all these years. Grabbing coffee with friends, having a meal, seeing an amazing band, participating in an open mic or one of their Reel and Meal events. So @debbiefaye78, our mom, and I got tickets and even chipped in for a plaque from us “Ashpes Girls.” 

Our mom passed before she could attend the event; we asked our like a sister best friend @shellymingram to join us in her place and we had a great time, dancing all night as our mom would have, connecting with neighbors, and supporting a local business we all love so much.

As for the outfit, the dress is @ronnykobo the bag is @ganni and I borrowed both from @renttherunway The shoes I’ve had for years and the gold metal mask I found on Amazon and liked how it could mold to my face and not put pressure on my still-healing eye.

And I know y’all will ask because I received so many DMs this weekend when I shared this event in my Stories… my sister’s dress is from @eshakti she bought it a few years ago and it’s even more gorgeous in person!

The biggest fashion trend this fall is a return to classics. For decades I have turned to @talbotsofficial for quality classics with style.  This season, Talbots has a fantastic range of pants to update the wardrobe. 

I love how these @talbotsofficial ivory stretch corduroy straight leg pants elevate closet classics! Available in Misses, Petite, Plus, Plus Petite, Curvy, and in 10 colors, these cords are a chic alternative to jeans and just as easy care! I can run errands and have a bit of quiet time with an ebook and a coffee with comfort and style.
