Scenes from a Friday night…

We started at @littleblackbirddc a new wine bar in Cleveland Park where we had great food, drink, and conversation into the evening. We then headed down the street to @atomicbilliards for a whole different experience and to keep the conversation going. I treasure my friendships with @sylviacolella (who had a birthday recently), @districtofchic, and @blonde_inthedistrict they’re the real deal 🥰

My dress is @adamlippes borrowed via @renttherunway and Cheetos with Sauvignon Blanc is a really fun pairing!

Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

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! 🐾❤️

Fall to Winter Capsule Wardrobe: 25+ Looks for Work, Weekend, and Beyond

A fall to winter capsule wardrobe by Alison Gary of Wardrobe Oxygen

As I look through my closet for this season and as it gets colder, I am assessing what I already own, and what I think will work with my existing closet, and I can't help but think about capsules. What will be my fall to winter capsule wardrobe? What will mix and match, making it easy to get dressed in a rush, pack for travel, and have the right thing for the right occasion?

This thought process has me making capsule wardrobes as I peruse online boutiques, and admiring some items (and mixing in some things I already own) I ended up making this capsule wardrobe. I am really liking gray and camel as base colors this season, as they work so well with everything from soft pastels to rich jewel tones.

Fall to Winter Capsule Wardrobe: What's In It?

I kept this capsule wardrobe relatively neutral so your existing closet and your favorite colors can be incorporated. Imagine adding teal, or blush pink, or plum, or hot pink to this collection. My capsule wardrobes are to get your mind thinking in a different way, imagining new combinations to extend your closet and achieve more style with fewer items.

Also, note how classic these items are. These aren't pieces that will be out of style next year. This is a capsule wardrobe of what I think could be staples. Pieces that can transition from fall and winter to spring and even early summer. Pieces that years from now you may still be rocking with joy. Yet, combined the effect feels contemporary and cool. Don't think you need new styles to get a new effect, sometimes it's just switching up the combinations.

UPDATE: I couldn't tell from the Boden website, but a Wardrobe Oxygen community member ordered the cardigan dress listed below and it does not open completely to wear as a duster. The bottom portion opens so it could be worn over pants, but not in the way I featured below. So here is a carousel of similar cardigan dresses that open:

The Why Behind the Pieces in this Capsule Wardrobe

Why did I choose the things I did in this fall to winter capsule wardrobe? A little of my mindset when pulling these pieces. I hope sharing the why helps you get into a capsule mindset, seeing how to extend your existing closet!

  • Modern Elegance is Mixing High with Low: If you are looking for polish in your wardrobe, always have one piece that doesn't traditionally fit. If you're dressing up, consider switching out classic pumps for boots, a leather jacket for denim, a glossy red lip for a matte stain, a French twist for a simple ponytail. When dressing down, consider one piece to elevate the look. Good hoops are an easy addition, as is a red lip. Pair a skirt with sneakers, a blazer with a well-worn graphic t-shirt, satin with denim. This wardrobe has a lot of luxe pieces and casual pieces and I find the mix is more versatile than all one vibe.
  • The Cardigan Sweater Dress: I saw this dress at Boden (and similar at many other retailers) and instantly saw versatility. Wear it buttoned up like a dress, belted with boots. Wear it over a turtleneck for extra warmth. Wear it open like a duster jacket. Button just one or two and switch out the self-belt for a leather one and style over a silk slipdress or leggings and a turtleneck. This is a popular trend of dress this fall to winter, don't think it has to only be a dress.
  • Trousers with Texture: When it's getting cold, a lot of times you're wearing more practical of shoes and less stylized tops. By choosing cold-weather fabrics for pants, you still get interest and style while staying warm. Cords are back and you'll find corduroy jeans, wide-leg trousers, pleated pants, and everything in-between. I liked that these weren't skinny but slim enough to tuck into tall boots. Faux and real leather is also back and a trouser or jeans in this fabric can elevate all your fleeces and sweaters. I went with a jean style which looks great dressed up or down.
  • The Off-the-Shoulder Sweater: I know a lot of folks are anti-anything you can't wear with a standard bra and I respect that, but for those who are open to a strapless bra (or letting a simple strap show) hear me out. An off-the-shoulder sweater (OTS) feels dressy, sexy, and cool while keeping the majority of you warm. Jeans with a v-neck is nice, jeans with an OTS is niiiiice. And when it's a sweater, you don't need that strapless bra to offer up to the neck perfect shaping and support, so you can go more comfortable. My picks of strapless bras: The Wacoal Red Carpet for mid- to large-busts, the Soma Enbliss for small to medium busts, and the Rhonda Shear bandeau is supportive and available in plus sizes.
  • The Gray Blazer: I own this blazer in green, you can see it in this post. I love this blazer because it's a bit oversized (very on trend this season), but fits in the shoulders. It fits me over a lightweight sweater or a t-shirt, and fits under winter coats. It's long enough that I don't feel naked in leggings, but tailored enough to look nice with non-skinny pants and jeans.
  • The Pleated Midi Skirt: This can dress up or down so easy. Half-tuck a sweater in the front, style with a camisole or turtleneck for evening, tie a graphic t-shirt with it, wear with the blazer and sneakers for some downtown cool. If this trend is new for you, buy budget. You may be surprised how much you like a skirt like this and end up adding more to your closet, as they're great all year round.
  • The Fisherman Sweater: This is a classic, but the version I linked to is lighter in weight, meaning it can layer without you overheating and can even French tuck into the pants or skirt and drape nicely.
  • The Breton Stripe Top: Why stick to black or navy stripes? This summer I bought this same top with blue stripes and I love the idea of this ivory and dark red which is still classic but not so cliche. The ivory will age better than white while being quite versatile.
  • The Ribbed Merino Turtleneck: I find sweaters like this look good even if I am feeling fluffy, even though I have full arms and a large bust, and it's not so thick I feel claustrophobic. I wear these alone, under jackets and even under other sweaters. The ribs add interest and this charcoal color can look quite elegant for dressier occasions.
  • The Burgundy Crossbody: I love a pop of color with a purse, and this bag is a nice size for everyday and a simple enough style that it will remain stylish for years.
  • The Black Dumpling Clutch: I think the quickest way to modernize a look for evening or special occasions is by switching out your “classic” clutch for an on-trend one. This bag from Etsy mimics the hottest bag trend right now in a faux leather. Even better, the dumpling bag can hold a LOT of stuff. I rented one recently from Rent the Runway and I was able to hold so much, I could even fit my playbill from the musical I saw and it didn't bend or crease!

When it comes to capsule wardrobes, you want everything to be styled at least three different ways to create three different kinds of looks. For example, with the looks above I could have made more if I recreated the same exact look I showed with jeans with cords and with the leather jeans. But that doesn't really show versatility. Go beyond that, and if the item is one-note, it may not be the best choice for your capsule wardrobe.

There were a lot of possibilities I considered for this capsule wardrobe until I completed it. I considered a slipdress (which is in one look above). I visited M.M. LaFleur in DC this week and they styled me in a long duster cardigan over that slip dress and while it wasn't my personal style aesthetic it was really chic and comfortable and versatile. It's something I wouldn't have otherwise considered, but after playing with outfits I didn't think it was versatile enough to be in the actual capsule.

I had a different cream sweater, but I couldn't envision it half-tucked into the skirt. I switched the color of the Breton stripe tee so many times but kept going back to red/ivory and loved having red be the pop of color with that crossbody bag (which comes in 8 colors, is Italian leather but still under $100). I didn't have the faux leather jeans at first but felt the capsule needed a bit of edge. They could easily be replaced with velvet, or a wide-leg trouser.

Point is, when building a capsule it takes some time, some playing, and some breaking out of the box and switching up the standard. I've been making capsule wardrobes for almost two decades, very likely you have not. So don't expect to perfect one the first try (or fifth). Take your time and have fun!

    Hi, Allie!

    I got the cardigan sweater dress in charcoal (because camel has me looking ill, especially in January and February), and I like it as a dress much more than I thought I would. It’s very soft and well cut; however, it doesn’t unbutton all the way to wear as a duster. That’s probably a plus when wearing as a dress, and it layers with ease, but wanted to let you know. The bottom five buttons work, so you can easily get a partly buttoned look. I went back to Borden’s website, and it’s definitely not clear from the description on their site either. Love your ideas and inspiration here! Not at all upset, just adding more info.

      Thank you so much for letting me know, oh gosh I feel awful! I went online to find some similar dresses that open completely and added them above. I really appreciate you letting me know and I am glad to hear that the dress is good otherwise!

      I just came here to say the same! I just received the camel one and I love the fabric (not itchy!) and they style, but was so disappointed about those buttons. So back it will go. I was really sold on the versatility and will check out other options.

    I love all your suggestions. I especially enjoy it when I can say “Ok, I have that, that and that, and hey, maybe that teal blazer I have will work instead of the gray shown here!” Your capsules spark my creativity; it’s so easy to fall into wearing the same things the same ways. Thank you again for your thorough work and another great capsule wardrobe!

      I ordered a Madewell duster duster from Nordstrom because it was a little less expensive than the Boden piece (plus I had a credit) and when I looked at the Boden piece on the website, I wasn’t fond of the sleeves—looked like they’d be hard to push up. I really like the Madewell piece and although it did not come with a belt, I believe it could be also be worn as a dress. I hope Boden sees this as realizes its pictures were somewhat misleading!

    I’m in the process of switching out my summer and fall/winter wardrobes, and I’ll keep these suggestions in mind as I go through my storage boxes. One thing I wanted to note–I bought one of the Mango skirts you recommended in a spring capsule. I loved how it fit and looked, but it snagged on everything. Perhaps the pleated skirt will be less likely to do that, but I am going to pass on their skirts from now on.

    Thanks for this capsule! My size has changed and I’m trying to only buy new items that work together for a small & cohesive fall/winter wardrobe so this is very helpful. That Boden cardigan dress is calling my name and they are having a 25% off $150 or more sale! I want so badly to be able to pull off the sweater-dress-as-a-duster look, maybe this is the push I need. 🙂

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! 🧡

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!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

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 🥵

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.
