Hi there, I’m Alison Gary

I’m so glad to meet you!

After spending almost a decade in apparel and skincare retail, merchandising, and training as well as being a personal stylist and consultant, I began Wardrobe Oxygen. Since 2005, Wardrobe Oxygen has been providing real-life style advice for fellow grown women.

With a focus on petite, midsize, and plus size fashion, Wardrobe Oxygen translates trends for women in midlife who have fewer f*cks left to give but still give a sh*t. Dress on your terms, read honest beauty reviews focusing on products for women in midlife, no-filter discussions about perimenopause, solo travel, and living life vibrantly.
