I mentioned in my last Stitch Fix review that I was going to try their latest offering, Stitch Fix for Kids. Stitch Fix provided me with a $20 credit to cover the styling fee of this program. My daughter is entering 4th grade in a few weeks and has outgrown most of her school clothes from last year. She is old enough that she knows her style, what she likes…

The Spanx Faux Leather Leggings have been a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale mainstay for a couple years now, and they continue to get rave reviews from those who purchase them. Unlike real leather leggings, these from Spanx are machine washable, stretchy, comfy, and far more wallet-friendly. Faux leather leggings have been a fashion trend for several years and they don't seem to be going away any time soon. But what to…
If you've read just a few posts on Wardrobe Oxygen you know I am a fan of Universal Standard. And if you scan through my 13 years of blog posts you'll see many many outfits featuring J. Crew. So you KNOW I was excited to hear that Universal Standard collaborated with J. Crew on a collection of 21 pieces of clothing from sizes XXS to 5X available at J. Crew…
This post is sponsored by Soma, however the idea, the content, the wording is all mine. When was the last time you were fitted for a bra?

Below what I ordered from the NSale and whether it was a hit or…
I haven't done a recent StitchFix review because I haven't had one recently. My last one was a complete bust – wrong style, even wrong size. I took a couple months off, provided a lot of feedback and decided to do another Fix for the summer because I am still lacking essentials on my warm-weather wardrobe. My stylist for this Fix was Jan. Her thoughts that came in my box,…
Thank you Chico's for agreeing to be part of this project. While this post is sponsored by Chico's, I had full creative and editorial control. Chico's Travelers Collection is a cult favorite, copied by many but never as good as the original. Wrinkle-resistant fabric that moves with you, doesn't cling, dresses up and down with ease, is seasonless and also machine washable; the Travelers Collection from Chico's is pretty perfect…
When I wrote my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks post last Thursday I wrote it that day, early in the morning, and it seems during a time when the site was having a ton of glitches. I thought I did a good search but seems I missed a ton of really good items in the sale. In fact the filtering still seems glitchy as I searched once for just plus sizes…
