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?

The 6 Best Stylish Tan Sneakers for Grown-ass Women

6 of the best stylish tan sneakers for grown women by Wardrobe Oxygen

If you are one who has been waiting for non-white trendy sneakers to come back in style, this is the season for you! I recently shared this stylish black sneaker as a great choice for grown women because black sneakers, in general, are back in style. But so are other colors like tan. So I gathered what I think are the best stylish tan sneakers this season.

Why Tan Sneakers, and Why for Grown Women?

Tan sneakers are great because they don't require as much maintenance (that splash from your iced latte won't be as obvious), and they are a lower contrast to many skin tones, creating an unbroken line and letting your outfit take the spotlight. From cream to chocolate, you will find a range of brown-toned sneakers this season. For this article, I will focus on tan sneakers as they are the most plentiful and the most of-the-moment.

When choosing items for grown women, I look for styles that won't be a passing fancy. Looks that are achievable for a range of budgets and bodies. Ways to update, not completely overhaul your closet while helping you maintain your personal style and find comfort and joy in what you wear.

Tan sneakers this fall are both canvas and leather, casual and athletic. If you are looking for a stylish tan sneaker that will be an alternative to the white leather or canvas ones you wore with ankle jeans, cropped pants, wide-leg trousers, and casual dresses, then my selections will likely fit the bill.

I am focusing on tan sneakers that subtly update an existing wardrobe, not ones that are a fashion statement. Not so trendy they'll look passe in a year or two, but still on-trend styles from on-trend brands. And there will be a mix of price points and when available, I'll share a variety of retailers where the shoe is available.

The 6 Best Stylish Tan Sneakers for Grown Women

Not in any particular order, here are my six favorite tan sneakers for this season along with some tips on how to style each shoe:

1veja
The Veja Campo sneaker

Veja Campo

Veja is a sustainable shoe brand that is also a fashionable shoe brand. And for the transparency, ethics, and quality of these shoes, the price is pretty reasonable. You can learn more about the brand on the Veja website or in this Esquire article (previously shared in my Weekend Reads).

A bit more taupe than tan, this is a nice choice for those who have cool undertones and those who would find a cool neutral to better coordinate with their existing wardrobe. I find this sneaker runs a bit narrow.

Available on the Veja website (with a bunch of other colors to choose from), at Zappos, at Nordstrom, and at Neiman Marcus . Only shop Amazon for Veja if it's through Shopbop so you can be sure they're authentic.

1ariuma
The Cariuma x Pantone “Lion” canvas sneaker

Cariuma x Pantone “Lion” Canvas Sneaker

Cariuma is a sustainable sneaker brand and a B Corp. I have a pair of their sneakers and think they're good looking, well made, and comfortable. I think every style of their sneakers are stylish, I am focusing on this style because it has a subtle extra detail – Pantone branding.

Cariuma and PANTONE have partnered with several colors, high and low top styles. “Lion” is described as a “rich reddish-brown” and I think looks like a stylish tan sneaker. Like the Veja Campo, this canvas shoe will fit most any situations where you may also wear a white sneaker.

At this time, Cariuma's website is where to shop for this brand. I found the shipping and return policies reasonable.

1converse
The high-top version of Chuck Taylor All Stars (AKA Chucks)

Chuck Taylor All Stars

Chucks are back… or did they ever leave? Well this classic is popular this season, with low tops and high tops both in style and both available in tan. I, someone who hasn't worn high tops since high school, is feeling the silhouette this season.

If you haven't worn high-top Chucks since you were a teen, these are a great way to cover an ankle with your shorter jeans and they look great with full-length denim too. Tan and colors that are low contrast to one's skin tone are a great choice with midi skirts (with bare legs). No need to lace them all the way up; you can leave the last one or two eyelets empty for a more comfortable and relaxed fit.

You're going to find Chucks everywhere. The sand color is a bit harder to find. On the Converse website, you find the best selection with high, low, platform, and even the ability to add custom embroidery. Nordstrom has them in the low top and in the high top. At the time of writing this I could only find the high top version in a tan color at Amazon.

1vince
The Vince “Gabi” sneaker

Vince “Gabi” Sneaker

If you like a more polished sneaker that will look at home with your chinos, your casual suits, and your classic wardrobe, the Gabi from Vince may be a good choice. Like the brand Vince as a whole, these are elevated, subtle, but not boring. These would also look great with sundresses and midi dresses.

With a subtle platform and leather upper, I like that the laces match the upper, and aren't white. It feels more elegant and easier to dress up. These are sneakers you can easily still be wearing years from now. I find this sneaker runs a bit wide.

You can find the “Gabi” from Vince on the Vince website, at Bloomingdale's, and at Nordstrom. And watch the Nordstrom Rack site; while there weren't any tan leather Gabis at the time of writing this, there were a lot of Vince sneakers and other tan options.

1allbirds
The Wool Runners from Allbirds

Allbirds Women's Wool Runners

I am a fan of Allbirds, a sustainable brand that is striving to reverse climate change. I find the aesthetic extremely neutral but still elevated, making it a shoe that is neither trendy nor passe and their Hazy Beige a color that can dress up or down.

The Wool Runners would look great with a pair of 501's and a fisherman sweater, a pleated midi skirt and cashmere turtleneck, chinos and a Breton striped shirt, a sweater dress, or a cozy jogger and hoodie set. Think aesthetics like classic, cozy, minimalist, coastal grandmother in the winter. Of course this is on top of their purpose which is a running shoe.

Allbirds are sold on the Allbirds site. I previously reviewed Allbirds for wide feet; you can read my review and be sure to check out the comments from other Allbirds customers. If you've worn this brand I encourage you to share your feedback on fit and quality!

1nikedbreak
The Nike DBreak Premium

Nike DBreak / Daybreak

The Daybreak is a style of Nike that was originally released in 1979 and may feel a bit too on the nose for some of us GenXers, and for others it may be a welcome return. A textile and real/synthetic leather combo makes the shoe soft and pliable and also lighter weight, and the classic athletic style means these shoes are great whether you're walking the aisles of Target or walking the lake path at the park.

This shoe is called the Daybreak on some websites, even though it's likely the DBreak, the updated version of the original. I'm sharing both because this shoe sells out fast in tan colorways and if my links are sold out you may be searching and both terms will provide results at reputable retailers.

This is a great shoe to wear with your ankle and cropped jeans, your pleated midi skirts, and your athleisure. The unstructured shape can get lost under a longer and wider leg of trouser or jeans.

The Nike DBreak Premium is all tan and made from premium leather; this is a very elegant yet cool version of this shoe; it's available on the Nike website. It is also available at Nordstrom. Also on the Nike website, the Daybreak SE comes in a mix of tan and gray Nordstrom also has this version. This is a shoe that is constantly coming out with different colors and textiles so you're likely to find Daybreaks and DBreaks on resale sites, and retailers that carry Nike (such as all the popular department stores) will come out with tan versions every season.

What About [Enter Other Tan Sneaker Here]?

This list is of my personal opinion, and focusing on more universal styles that will work with the wardrobes of grown women. I also went through a lot of the tried and true sneaker brands that carry stylish tan sneakers… and for some reason they don't have them this season. Next season, I will update this list to have those who have the most stylish tan sneakers for the season in stock.

What Socks to Wear with Tan Sneakers?

As long as it's weather making it comfortable, tan sneakers are best with no-see or tab-ankle white socks. If you want to wear socks… I still think white is your best bet if it's more an athletic sock than trouser. If you're one to rock pop socks, I'm not stopping you. I think a print between pant hem and tan sneaker, if that's already your jam, can look quite fab.

For no-show socks my favorite are these from Bombas. For ankle tab socks, I swear by these from Bombas. Plus, Bombas donates with every purchase AND they offer sized socks (everyone not sized 9-11 rejoice!). For taller socks, I don't really wear them but my husband is beyond obsessed with his Bombas running calf socks and Bombas have a white version for women. Yes, there are other brands, but we've become a Bombas household.

For those unfamiliar with Bombas, it's a popular brand and it's an ethical brand. A bee is the Bombas logo, and this bee is featured on many of their styles of socks. The brand name is on the toe of every pair (even the white no-shows have white “Bombas” on them). It's brilliant marketing; as a Bombas customer I see that bee or the “Bombas” on the toe a mile away (AKA on the foot of a Peloton instructor when doing a stretch from the app on my iPhone) and smile. However, if you do not like logos on your socks, another brand may be a better choice.

    I could have sworn that at some point you had written a review of Cariuma shoes, but I’ve checked your tag & it doesn’t seem like it so here goes:

    Any idea about the fit of their shoes? I think you & I have similar feet (slightly wider forefoot/ high instep but narrow heels) so I was wondering whether I should size up half a size or not (I vaguely remember you writing something on your website about them working for your wide feet, but wasn’t sure if that’s from true sizing)?

    Thanks, Allie 🙂

      Yes! I don’t think I ever did a dedicated review. I had the leather low-profile Cariumas and they fit my wide toebox feet quite well. The only issue is personal; some shoes curve a bit (think Nikes) and some are straight (think Adidas). My feet are straight while Cariumas turn a bit and it was putting pressure on my pinky toe so I gifted them to a friend. But really nice quality shoes with quality ethics!

    After reading the comments and this great post again, I went back to your “best black sneakers” post and ordered another pair of Adidas Sambas — in green suede! I absolutely love their classic vibe and neutral, kind of gum rubber soles. I hope you get credit when we click through older posts. Yay!

    I am OBSESSED with all my wool Allbirds. I have several different styles. I love them because they keep my feet warm enough I don’t have to wear socks. This is a big deal for me, because I have to wear socks to bed every night, even if it is 100 degrees outside, or my cold feet wake me up 🙂

    I know everyone’s screen looks a little different. To me all of these examples look like they would be better for someone with more pink undertones (if your trying to blend). As I have more yellow undertones, I tend to go with more of a taupe type shoe. I thought I would share may favorites. I have been wearing Simple shoes since the 90s. The have revamped over time and even had a short period where they were not producing. Their fan base brought them back. Here’s a link to the taupe version of the OS sneaker: https://simpleshoes.com/collections/shoes/products/os-sneaker-suede?variant=32252102901818

    Allbirds: I have the wool Mizzles (water resistant) and have an average width foot, with a high instep. I need arch support. They are too flat across the toes to add a supportive insole and they have no appreciable arch support. I wear the wide elastic bands with attached arch support when I wear these for actual fitness walking. They are a bit wide on my foot. My husband has a 4E foot and he says the wides are a bit narrow.

    I was glad to see Cariuma on the list, I like their shoes! And I have had the best customer service/support I’ve ever had from them.
    I took a quick look, they have some shoes in neutral colors and black with a same tone sole (instead of white). There are more, but I thought readers might like to see these:

    These shoes are all lovely. But am I the only woman in the world who is annoyed by white soles on sneakers in other colors? They glare. They shout. They must be kept clean. Why don’t the manufacturers make the soles the same color as the uppers? A few black sneakers have black soles, but only a few. As for other colors—forget it. Anyone else?

      I completely agree. On the first day, or maybe for the entire first week, the white soles and sidewalls look awesome. After that, the dirt and smudges just look gross, in my opinion.

      The white soles don’t bother me and I know Alison has done a post on keeping white sneakers clean. Magic Eraser in particular works well! But I found some tan sneakers with tan soles that may not be quite as stylish, but that I don’t think are frumpy and dumpy.

      This one’s quite inexpensive and I can’t vouch for comfort, but if they didn’t work out I wouldn’t feel like I wasted my money:

      https://www.target.com/p/women-39-s-grace-sneakers-universal-thread-8482-tan-6/-/A-83822008

      This one is sold out, but maybe can be found on resale sites. I really like it:

      https://www.madewell.com/adidasreg%3B-unisex-gazellereg%3B-lace-up-sneakers-in-tan-G2754.html

      And I defer to Alison on whether a tan sole is as on-trend as a white one. I myself have a pair of Lacoste off-white suede sneakers with a matching sole that I got a couple years ago and I love them, so I plan to keep wearing them and looking for the Vince pair to go on sale!

        thanks for sharing these, Rebecca! That’s fantastic!

        I think the white soles really help a sneaker look modern and separate from athletic/activity shoes. And I did mention in an article but need to create a separate post on shoe care. Yes to Magic Eraser! It works so easily and effectively on sidewalls. As for the soles, I don’t really think it matters all that much. Unless you’re a sneakerhead I think it’s cool to show you actually wear your shoes and live life in them.

      I’m the opposite, I love the white soles. When black shoes have black soles, I am reminded of comfortable shoes I had to wear when working long hours on my feet. Black sneakers with black soles look like service industry shoes to me.

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.

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 🥵

For more of our trip check the “Savannah” highlight on my profile page!

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! 🐅🍃🥰
