I'm always on the hunt for the perfect summer dress. That dress that doesn't require special undergarments, will cover my bra, will hide sweat stains, isn't too tight but isn't a muumuu, not too long but I can pick something up off the ground without flashing the world, can dress up and down with ease, isn't made of a sweaty sticky fabric, can be put in the wash, and has…
In the Wardrobe Oxygen Community, Diane mentioned Chico's no-iron linen; she and Christine asked me to try it and do a review. Your wish is my command! I reached out to Chico's and they sent me three of their No-Iron Linen shirts – one in stripes, one in white, and one in hot pink. I've washed them, I've worn them tucked in for long days in the heat shoved into…
Not all t-shirts are created equal. There's the stiff square ones you get free for being part of a fun run, the lightweight v-necks you pick up at Target and wear with everything from sweatpants to ankle pants and a cardigan on Casual Friday, there's ones of silk and linen and those $200 ones that look an awful lot like the one you have from Target… and then there's the…
White, ivory, cream… it doesn't matter which color you choose. Having a light colored blazer in your closet is a game changer and a regular addition to the capsule wardrobes I create on Wardrobe Oxygen.

Capsule wardrobes are often associated with minimalism, but that doesn't mean the pieces within the capsule need to have minimal style. In fact, when your capsule wardrobe has unique details and accent pieces, it not only is more fun to wear, but more stylish and versatile. In the real life capsule wardrobe I featured yesterday, the primary accent piece was the one-shouldered cashmere sweater from Universal Standard. black sweater |…
Another day, another ELOQUII dress! Seriously, they make some of the best dresses. They're designed to flatter curves, and have such interesting prints and/or details it's easy one-step dressing and you end up feeling polished. I've had this dress from ELOQUII for a couple months now; I've worn it to a baby shower, to brunch, to an ELOQUII event at their store in the DC area, and even have thrown…
When the temps rise, I'm all about easy dressing. Simple dresses and separates that are cool, comfortable, and versatile yet not boring. Talbots sent me their summer 2018 lookbook a few weeks ago and I loved how it was full of the kind of warm weather clothing I love. I asked them if I could pick a few pieces from the Talbots Summer 2018 collection, wear them, test them, and share…

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to be on a local morning show modeling ELOQUII fashion. One of the looks they had me in was this ELOQUII flare sleeve maxi wrap dress and I totally fell in love with it. It's a breezy fabric, a true wrap, but fits so well there's no hidden safety pin at the bust and I didn't have to have it shortened! Dress:…
