Looking back on this week, I feel the theme was “I don’t shine if you don’t shine,” which is taken from Shine Theory. Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow (well known for their fab podcast Call Your Girlfriend as well as individual projects and an upcoming book) coined Shine Theory, which is collaborating rather than competing…
It’s clear I love overalls. I own four pairs and have been tempted to purchase more. They’re fun and look funky and artsy. They don’t care if you ate a whole burrito from Chipotle and are way more comfy, especially when sitting and on humid days, than a pair of jeans. I loved overalls back…
Ann Taylor reached out asking if I’d like to try their new suiting collection and I jumped at the chance. Long-time readers of Wardrobe Oxygen know I used to be a major Ann Taylor fan and regularly recommended their suiting. In recent years I haven’t found the suiting as high of quality… no more. Their…
I’ve been there. I’ve stood in front of my closet and hated every single thing on the hangers. That has been worn so many times if I have to wear it again I’ll scream. That shirt emphasizes my stomach. I wore that last time I saw these people. Those pants give me diaper butt by…

Earlier this month, Karl took me away for a weekend to celebrate my birthday. He planned the trip, letting me know where we were going but we didn’t have a really planned itinerary. He also invited our friends to join us. Knowing him and the location, I felt there would be activity – hiking, walks,…
Wardrobe Oxygen got a bit of a makeover, what do you think? If you’re reading by email or an RSS tool like Feedly or The Old Reader I encourage you to click and visit. Websites and blogs work hard to have their sites best showcase their content. Like your closet, you’ll maintain a general style…
