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?

Recent Fashion Hits and Misses: ASOS Edition

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

ASOS shoppiong haul honest review by wardrobe oxygenThought process when ordering these items: Oh gosh I am going to the opening of The Wing in DC and I want to show that though I am 43, I am not old and frumpy. But I am not also trying to look young or try-hard. Come through ASOS, bring me some things that make my outside look like my inside without costing a kazillion dollars!

Spoiler alert: My order arrived the day after The Wing opening and none of these items would have been chosen anyway (Tips for those going to such an event – wear whatever makes you feel happy and confident – jeans, a cocktail dress, a suit, a funky jumpsuit. Wear layers as the place will get very warm with so many people and have a pocket for business cards. If you like color, wear color to stand out and be remembered.). But read on to know what I ordered, what I was thinking, and if I decided to keep it.

ASOS felt fedora with ring detailASOS Ring Felt Panama Hat

As you know from previous hits and misses posts, I've been wanting to add to my hat collection. This brim didn't look too large or too floppy, and I dug the ring detail. And to be honest, this is a fine hat. It does look cheap; there's a clear hem around the brim that is thick and chintzy looking and the felt looks like it will be a lint magnet. But the shape is good (and the packing – unlike ordering hats from higher-end companies that have them arrive crushed and misshapen, this one had a plastic mold inside to keep the hat looking great in transit) and the style is good. But your friend Allie does NOT need a felt hat in April. So I returned it. However, it makes me realize ASOS is a good place to get cheap trendy hats that won't be a crumpled paper bag when you receive them in the mail. So hit? Miss? Hard to say…

ASOS White Satin Kimono Dress in BlackASOS WHITE Satin Kimono Dress – 10

I mentioned this dress in my workout journey post. This is the one I ordered in a 10. And actually, this is the same exact dress I ordered many months ago in a 14. I LOVED the dress when I first ordered it. Karl said it looked very Rick Owens; it did look very couture and expensive. The fabric is super heavy, the shape is so cool. It's like wearing a piece of art. But a 14 fit me in the belly and the bust, but it was too long in the torso, too long in the body, too big in the shoulders, and I just didn't think I'd wear it enough to justify a $182 pricepoint AND major alterations to make it work. So I returned it. And then I was shopping and came across this dress again and it was on sale for $72, but the largest size they had available was a 10. I took a chance.

The 10 fits, and fits really well. A 12 would have been too big. But still the dress is too long in the torso. I could have it altered, but I wonder if it would ruin the origami of the dress. Also it is a very heavy dress and it's too warm right now to wear it. If I keep it and I alter it and it looks amazing… will it still fit and look amazing in the fall when the temps drop? I first decided with the low price, to keep the dress. Not get it altered until the end of the summer. But then I decided to return it. I'm already seeing how clothes I had before not only don't fit my current body but don't fit my current personal style. I have no idea who I will be in six months and it may be someone who wishes she had that $72 to spend on something else. But don't sleep on ASOS WHITE, this collection has some AMAZING pieces that look so much more expensive than their pricetag and can really elevate your style. So hit? Miss? Not knowing the answer is a recurring theme in this post…

ASOS WHITE Formal Pants with Frill Side in PinkASOS WHITE Formal Pants with Frill Side – 12

These are vagina pants. Sorry, let me be more anatomically correct. When you wear these, you look as though you are both the labia minora and labia majora. If that's your thing, I recommend a round jeweled broch to wear at the top of the “frill” to complete the look. Please note, these run large. If you desire vagina pants, consider sizing down. MISS.

ASOS Off Shoulder Stripe TopASOS Off Shoulder Stripe Top – 12

I have one off the shoulder top from 1.State I bought over a year ago (seen in this post and in this Instagram post) and I love it… and now it's too big. I wore it the other week and it kept sliding down and looked messy. I want another truly off the shoulder top like it and hoped this was it. Nope. This runs BIG. The sleeves were about 6″ too long and it ran so long it covered my butt. It's also that spongey knit that continues to stretch as you wear it. MISS.

ASOS Body with Off Shoulder in Stripe with Long SleevesASOS Body with Off Shoulder in Stripe with Long Sleeves – 14

This was cheap fabric and looked cheap. It fit weird (too tight in the armpits, too loose in the upper arms) and it's a thong. I put this on first from all the purchases and it made me wonder if I was too old to wear ASOS. Then I put on the kimono dress mentioned above and it reminded me of why I continue to shop here. Thank goodness for super easy free returns! MISS.

ASOS Body in Off Shoulder Stripe with Short SleeveASOS Body in Off Shoulder Stripe with Short Sleeve – 12

I am super particular about my stripes. I like a certain width, a certain balance of color to white. Some people are obsessive about wine, some about mascaras, some about olive oils… I am about stripes. And this stripe didn't pass my test. It looked cheap and it was a thong and the sleeves were an awkward length that didn't flatter. MISS.

ASOS Satin Jumpsuit with Waterfall Wrap in GreenASOS Satin Jumpsuit with Waterfall Wrap – 14

THIS is why ASOS is great. Weird ideas executed in a wearable way to make people stop and notice. First glance, this looks like a v-neck wrap maxi dress but it's actually a jumpsuit with a layer over it. And it's so darn cool. It drapes so beautifully (that is after you steam it because it comes a crumpled mess) and you can wear a regular bra and it flatters and it's comfortable but it's going to cause strangers to stop you and tell you how much they love it. You can wear it with some hot pink heels and crazy statement earrings or gold hoops and flat gold sandals or even a wacky heeled ankle bootie and a scarf around your neck. If you have a large meal no one will be able to tell and you can look black tie without dealing with chub rub and the next weekend wear it to a club or party. As a 5'3″ woman, I would have had to have the straps/shoulders raised at least an inch for a proper fit and a good foot lopped off the bottom but neither alteration is too costly. But I returned it. I remembered I own an amazing funky printed one-shoulder jumpsuit that can accomplish similar and I've only worn it twice. If it's too big, I'd rather use the money to alter what I have and make it work than add more to my wardrobe. So if you need something like this, do check it out. I think it's pretty cool. So hit? Miss? Not sure.

ASOS WHITE Cotton Twill Structured Sleeve Two-Piece Top in OrangeASOS WHITE Cotton Twill Structured Sleeve Two-Piece Top – 14

My sister sent this top to me, thinking I'd love it. I love orange, and I love a statement sleeve. I believe she sent it to me in an Instagram DM, seeing someone else rock it. I put it in my virtual cart but at the time didn't purchase it. I decided to with this order. Yeah, this is a no for me. The fabric is brushed twill, you likely have or have owned a pair of chinos or shorts in this same exact fabric. So you can imagine the weight, the stiffness, and the way the fabric mutes even the boldest of colors. And it muted this orange so it looked like prison garb. The neckline on the site makes it look like a split collar, but actually it's a popped notch collar which is super weird and high and hits my chin. If I fold it down it makes this look like I really did take prison garb and upcycle it into a fun top. If the neckline was different and the fabric was softer, I'd keep it. I just thought this was really weird. Oh, they have coordinating pants so you REALLY can get that Orange is the New Black couture look if that's your thing. MISS.

ASOS DESIGN Curve Jumpsuit with Kimono Sleeve and Peg LegASOS DESIGN Curve Jumpsuit with Kimono Sleeve and Peg Leg – 12

I love orange. I love jumpsuits. I figured Curve would be a better choice as it would have the room in the body without mile-long legs and the neckline down to my belly button. I have been an ASOS Curve 14 for a couple years so I went with 12. I struggled to get this on, even unzipped and still the top had way too much volume and the neckline was too low. It's a shame because this is a fun kind of jumpsuit that's great for all sorts of events, and it comes in a lot of different colors. If you wish to try it, I recommend sizing up unless you're a true hourglass or have a really small waist. But for me it's a MISS.

    My boss, a lovely lady with many interests, does not understand my interest in fashion and style. She walked by while I was reading this and commented that she didn’t know how I could read about clothes, so I gave her your vagina pants review. Now she gets it (and understands I wouldn’t read some random catalog).

    I love your hit/miss posts and capsule posts. All of the clothes in this post were a bit “busy” for my taste and I wonder if that happened with forming your opinions (?). While you do have a very nice edgy fashion orientation, I find you seem to be very “the classics and timeless” driven ( as am I). Thanks for your enlightening posts.

I’m very tempted to order it but fear that I’d never wear it. I wish I had a special event coming up—if I did I’d order it for sure.

    My daughter, who looks like she could be a blonde version of you, orders a load of stuff from ASOS. So far, all she has scored is an oversized shirt printed with large hearts and a pair of black rhinos. Everything else has looked cheap and nasty. UK has become so difficult for clothes shopping – so expensive but poorly made and badly fitting. Oh, you cannot imagine how we love shopping in the U.S. of A – so much choice, such a size range, plenty of choice for all…and I love your blog as well

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 🥵

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! 🐅🍃🥰
