If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

#throwbackthursday to what I wore 10 years ago in September…

A decade ago I was working full time in an office and was promoted to manage a good portion of my department. My blog was doing quite well, I was featured in local and national publications and websites. I was embracing what I felt to be a polished professional with an edgy vibe. Less color, more interesting accessories, and my first semi-designer bag (I still have that leopard print mini M.A.C. In the back of my closet). 

I have come to embrace color and have way less black in my closet now, but a lot of these looks are timeless and I would wear now… just likely with lower heels! 😂

Do you recall what you were wearing a decade ago? How similar is it to how you dress now?

Dagne Dover Midi Tote Review

wardrobe oxygen what I wore dabne dover mini bag review dagne dover mini tote review wardrobe oxygen what I wore dagne dover bag review
Blazer: Ralph Lauren (thrifted – similar) | Tee: armor-lux (gift from reader – similar) | Jeans: NYDJ | Shoes: Cole Haan (similar) | Bag: c/o Dagne Dover

Reader Missy recently contacted me regarding the bag company Dagne Dover. She saw there was a pop-up shop taking place in DC and asked if I may be attending and if so could I report back on what the bags were like in person. See, Missy has had the Dagne Dover Midi Tote on her wish list for months but was afraid to pull the trigger on such a pricey bag if she hasn't seen and experienced it. Unfortunately, I had plans the day of the DC pop-up shop so I contacted Dagne Dover to see if there would be another show in my area in the near future. To be honest I hadn't heard of this brand before Missy's email.  They were kind enough to send me one of the Midi Totes for me to experience and share with all of you.

dagne dover classic tote review

The Classic Tote from Dagne Dover is an incredibly smart bag while still maintaining style. It's a manageable size that seems to easily hold much more than my biggest hobos or satchels. It's not as tall or wide as my Brahmin satchel, but it holds twice as much and is far easier to access everything. There's a removable cup of sorts to hold an umbrella or bottle of water, a padded pocket inside for a tablet or small notebook computer (I use it to hold my momAgenda and a book or my Kindle), and a zipper exterior pocket that can also hold a similarly sized device (I slipped in my tablet). There's a pouch to hold sunglasses so they don't get lost in the abyss, a detachable cord to hold my keys, and pockets to hold and easily access everything from my SmarTrip to my iPhone to my lipstick.  Missy asked if the bag can hold an 8.5 x 11″ document or folder and the answer is yes.  While it wouldn't fit in any of the pockets, the main interior compartment is wide and deep enough to accommodate.  As I type this, I have 250 flyers of that size tucked in there and still room for my sunglasses, wallet, and the ability to access all the pockets.

Not pictured is a detachable adjustable strap that can make the Midi Tote a shoulder bag or crossbody. The strap is even smartly designed with padding where it rests on your shoulder! For my 5'3″ self I put the strap on the shortest setting and it was right at that comfortable hip place as a crossbody.  The built-in short straps do fit over the shoulder; I could fit it with a thin knit but found it too awkward with this outfit and impossible with a winter coat.  A slimmer woman may find it easier.  Full, the bag may feel too boxy for comfort under the arm, but the other day I slipped it over my shoulder for a quick trip to get lunch (my agenda, book, tablet, and umbrella were not in the bag).  I use the crossbody to get to the office so I can have my hands free to carry coffee or hold on when standing on the Metro, but I feel most comfortable at my height and weight to carry this bag in my hand as I did in this post.

After reading about these bags and the loyal fanbase, I really wanted to see the bag in person.  Why so much for a bag not out of leather?  Seeing it in person and using the bag, the price and loyalty is justified.  The bag is of coated canvas but it could easily be mistaken for Saffiano leather.  All the trim including the handles are of butter-soft Napa leather, the hardware is heavyweight and utterly gorgeous, and the pockets and added details are made with thought and care (a tight pocket for a Metro card, a deeper pocket for a SmartPhone, the ability to put the key cord on the side of your choice for easy access, etc.).  The more I used this bag the more I liked it; to be honest I wrote this post Sunday and came back Wednesday to edit it with more raving and detail.

I find Dagne Dover to be a perfect bag for the busy woman on the go. Unlike my other big bags, I find it a breeze to wear it across my body, unzip it and be able to see and access everything with one hand. Yes, you can hold a cup of coffee and be able to grab your sunglasses, you can hold a child on your hip and find your ringing phone, and you can quickly access your keys in a mall parking lot without having to put down your packages.  The Dagne Dover Classic Tote has a place for everything, with everything in its place.  If you have any questions about the Dagne Dover Midi Tote, please ask in the comments.  While Dagne Dover did send me the bag, this post is not sponsored and they knew I would be completely honest in my review and in replying to any comments.

    Thanks for this review! A friend of mine has the larger version and i is great. However, I do not need a bag that big but love the organization features inside of it. So thanks to your review, I made this my new “go-to” bag which will eliminate the “multiple bag syndrome” since my other bags do not fit all. I was lucky to find it on sale, blue color and had an extra 10% code! Bit of a splurge but I know this will be my only bag. -Ile IG@ilenova

    I just received The Tote as a birthday gift after coveting it for months, but I’m hesitant to keep it because of the bulk. With the textbooks, laptop, and notebooks I carry for 12 hour days in grad school, I find the bag to be too bulky and heavy to wear under my arm. I absolutely love the style and organization of the bag! I hate to keep such an expensive bag if it is uncomfortable to carry. I saw in the comments that you also purchased the tote… How has this size worked for you?

      It works for me, but I usually use it as a commuting tote – laptop and cord, maybe a small notebook, purse essentials and maybe a pair of shoes or bottle of water. When I have used it to carry more (like I did for a conference) I found it too heavy and bulky. I use it most often as a regular tote without the laptop, using the laptop area to hold papers.

    Since this post is several months old now, I was wondering how this bag has held up over time? I’ve never had a light-colored bag before. Does it get dingy-looking?

    Reply
    • Allie at Wardrobe Oxygen says

      September 8, 2015 at 8:40 am

      I’ve been good about keeping it away from newsprint and when it has gotten dingy, I’ve been able to clean off most with a soapy washcloth or even a bit of Windex or vinegar. Baby wipes also do a good job. But the fabric is textured which seems to repell a lot of stains, there’s feet on the bottom which has kept the bottom clean, and the structure has maintained so it doesn’t flop over giving it more of a chance to get dirty. I now have the big tote, a clutch, and the tiniest tote and love them all!

      I do like the nude, it’s an elegant color that isn’t too warm or too cool of a shade. If you sign up for their emails they will let you know when colors and items get back in stock. They’re not a giant company so it takes a bit longer to get things in and their supplies are a bit smaller. But the quality is worth it!

    Is the mini tote same size as the tiny tote because I feel like it is not. Would the mini tote have room for a 13″ MacBook Air, a textbook and still have room for maybe clothes? I was considering of getting the regular, but I feel like it would be just a tad bit big.

    • Allie at Wardrobe Oxygen says

      No the mini and tiny are not anywhere the same size. The mini can’t carry anything like that; see the comment above I have links of me featuring the tiny. I haven’t seen the regular tote but I know that the mini (which will come back at Dagne Dover) couldn’t hold my laptop but it could my tablet. Don’t be afraid to contact them, their customer service is stellar!

        Allie, is the bag your modeling the same tiny tote they currently have on their website? There seems to be a big size difference and the front zippered pocket that I think is holding your iPad is no longer shown on the current tiny tote. Also what iPad are you using in these pictures. Thank you for your help, just want to make sure I order the right one! 🙂

          This review is of the Mini Tote, which is currently not available. They are updating it with some new details and likely will be available later in the season. The Mini Tote featured is between the size of the tiny and the regular tote. I also have the Tiny tote, it’s far smaller and can’t fit an iPad or tablet. Here’s posts featuring that bag: http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2014/12/lysse-damaris-top-dagne-dover-tiny-tote.html and http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2014/12/popsugar-must-have-box.html hope that helps!

    I just heard about this bag when searching for a good work tote for my new job that was organized and could store a laptop. I was seriously tempted but was concerned about it not being leather so I ended up going with a leather Tory Burch tote. I still really want one though. Haha I think I’m into organizing things a little too much!

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

For more of our trip check the “Savannah” highlight on my profile page!

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.

I’ve been raving about my Printfresh pajamas for years, my family also wanted to try them. Thank you Printfresh for gifting these for our annual three generation girls’ getaway to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We had a great time and being all matchy matchy in our pajamas was a fun addition! 🐅🍃🥰
