He’s a Keeper!
We met December 27, 1992. We were seniors in high school. He proposed the day before Thanksgiving, 2002 . We married June 5, 2004. Four years of marriage and I still get butterflies! My whole office smells like roses, I love it! 🙂
Style is what brought a lot of us here. Life is what keeps us coming back.
Wardrobe Oxygen has always been about more than clothes. Since 2005, this space has been where I share what’s on my mind: the things I’m reading, thinking about, and navigating as a woman in midlife. That means perimenopause, aging parents, kids becoming adults, civic life, cultural moments worth paying attention to, and the occasional strong opinion about something that has nothing to do with fashion (though really, fashion is political…).
Every weekend you’ll find my Weekend Reads roundup: a curated mix of articles, essays, and links worth your time. And scattered throughout you’ll find longer personal essays when something is worth saying at length.
This is the less-polished corner of the site. It’s where I write like myself, think out loud, and trust that the women reading this are navigating a lot of the same terrain. Pull up a chair, I’m so glad you’re here!

I was honored to be interviewed by Elle of the new blog Label Ho. Elle’s discusses fashion and her personal style on this site. I love supporting fellow fashion and style bloggers so I jumped at this chance to have us get to know one another better! You can check out the interview here. I…
Your challenge – until Memorial Day (we’re talking only 12 days, 10 if you exclude today and the 26th) be good to yourself and your fellow woman. What do I mean? 1. Accept that you are a woman, not a moving mannequin. Of COURSE you will have some softness, bumps and lumps in various places….
This weekend was cold, rainy, gross. Friday night I went to dinner with my mom and her boyfriend and headed to bed pretty early. Saturday I did a home overhaul – major cleaning. I gutted the closet and dresser and attic, bagging up clothes for donation, to sell (will let you know when the selling…
What a great weekend! As you know, Friday night we headed to Annapolis for the wedding rehearsal, then dinner, then after party. I wore the black matte jersey wrap dress and it was perfect. Saturday began with yoga. I wore a white ribbed tank from Gap, green wrap tee from Victoria’s Secret, black sueded cotton…
Last night my husband started a new book and noticed the dedication at the beginning. We were discussing who we would dedicate a book to, and he asked who was deserving of a dedication for my blogs. It got me thinking of who I should thank for my passion for fashion and sense of style……
I’ll be honest, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) wasn’t a disease I understood, or even thought about a decade ago. I lumped it with all those “random” illnesses with initials that some lesser-known celebrity was diagnosed with, or that was a cause adopted by a bigger-name celebrity. I didn’t know anyone with MS, so it didn’t affect…
