Denim

One of the hardest items to shop for, denim can be a grown woman’s best friend or her nastiest frenemy. As a 5’3″ size 14/16 with soft curves, I provide detailed reviews of denim brands, photograph denim hauls, tips on how to care for denim, and occasionally ask members of the Wardrobe Oxygen Community to share their experiences so you get balanced reviews from a range of ages, body sizes, shapes, and abilities to make you an informed consumer.

Ask Allie – To Jeggings, or Not to Jeggings?

htDear Allie,   I don’t know what to do about skinny jeans/ jeggings. They’re everywhere, and I don’t feel like they’re flattering on anyone, unless you’re built like a stick. Even then, I’m not so sure. But I’m feeling out of style now with my boot cut jeans. Do I need to invest in a…

Simplifying the Boyfriend Jeans Look

I don’t subscribe to many magazines any more. I used to get over a dozen in the mail every month, but started letting my subscriptions lag when I stopped to think about all the paper and waste. So many magazines have great Websites, blogs, and such that I can get the information I desire online….

To Skinny Jean or Not to Skinny Jean

To Skinny Jean or Not to Skinny Jean

A reader asked: Skinny jeans seem to be EVERYWHERE!  Should I get myself a pair for my wardrobe?  Will I look dated if I stay with my bootleg denim? I don’t believe in adhering to all trends. Trends are usually flashes in the pan – a suede fringe purse, a cabbage rose-printed sheath, a day-glo vinyl…

A request from my friend Karin, who is petite, slim but with some lovely feminine curves. I haven’t had any luck with jeans lately, and was wondering if you fabulous women may have some suggestions: If anyone has recommendations for (not skinny!) jeans that aren’t reminiscent of a plumber but at the same time are…

I have the flattest butt you will ever see in your life, however, my stomach is far from flat. I also have pretty skinny thighs. Most pants hang off my butt awkwardly and have lots of…

Are Bootcut Jeans “Momtastic?”

Are Bootcut Jeans “Momtastic?”

Reader Laurie emailed me recently after reading “Talking Fashion” on Washington Post’s website about fall’s trends. Suzanne D’Amato and Janet Bennett lead this chat and are very intelligent and stylish women, but mentioned in this certain chat that bootcut jeans are “Momtastic” and to be stylish one should choose a skinny leg, high-waisted style, or…

The Old Denim Jacket

I usually do not buy overly trendy items. Didn’t get Uggs, no ponchos, no CK Jeans tees, or Bebe rhinestoned jeans. Nary a Louis Vuitton or faux LV purse in my closet. However when the puffed sleeve look was in a few years ago, I bought a jacket. It was just too cute. About a…
