Scenes from a Friday night…

We started at @littleblackbirddc a new wine bar in Cleveland Park where we had great food, drink, and conversation into the evening. We then headed down the street to @atomicbilliards for a whole different experience and to keep the conversation going. I treasure my friendships with @sylviacolella (who had a birthday recently), @districtofchic, and @blonde_inthedistrict they’re the real deal 🥰

My dress is @adamlippes borrowed via @renttherunway and Cheetos with Sauvignon Blanc is a really fun pairing!

Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

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! 🐾❤️

Sundresses for Truly Hot Summers

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. 

breathable sundresses for summer
The dress in the image above is from Boden

It drives me bonkers when dresses made from heavy fabric or layers of polyester are recommended as great summer dresses.  Where do these people live, the Arctic Circle?  Here in the Washington DC area, summer is hot, and it is humid.  We call most days of July, August, and even much of September and August as “soupy” or “swampy” or “thick” because it's more like swimming through humid air than roasting in an oven.  And the idea of a polyester dress, ponte knit, or even a stretchy jersey dress for more than a few minutes outside sounds like utter torture.  So below I share dresses for a truly hot summer.  The kind that won't have linings that get all stuck to your legs, the kind that won't feel as though they're melting and fusing onto your back.  The kind of dress I live in all summer long, usually with a pair of slip shorts like I shared in Wednesday's post on how to prevent chub rub.

My favorite kind of sundress makes it possible for me to wear a standard bra without it being on full display, is below the knee so I can wear slip shorts or some other item for modesty and to prevent chafing, has a full enough skirt that it doesn't cling to my rear or legs or show sweat stains below the waistband, is either made with a synthetic that works to cool or wick moisture or dry quickly, or is of a natural fiber that breathes.  I want a dress that looks cute with flat sandals, and one that is breezy without looking like a crumpled paper bag.  Oh, and if it could also be opaque and not only available black and look a bit polished and stylish, that would be fantastic!  Below are some possibilities:

breathable summer dresses inclusive sizing

First row: JIBARI | Garnet Hill | Grass-Fields |  Hackwith Design House |  lemlem 
Second row: Princess Highway | Banjanan | Kaela Kay | NIC+ZOE | Marela
Third row: Cece | Tory Burch | NIC+ZOE | lemlem | Talbots

printed summer dresses

First row: FARM Rio | Thought| Tanya Taylor | Talbots | FARM Rio
Second row: NIC+ZOE | Tanya Taylor | Banjanan | Tanya Taylor | Vince Camuto
Third row: Dolan | Equipment | Garnet Hill | eShakti | Lauren Ralph Lauren

breathable sundresses 2020

First row: J. Crew | Universal Thread | Eileen Fisher | Talbots | Kaela Kay
Second row: Tanya Taylor | Thought | eShakti | Boden | Rebecca Taylor 
Third row: Garnet Hill | J. Crew | Whistles | eShakti | eShakti 

When creating this post, I went beyond my tried and true retailers to find brands that were sustainable, ethical, owned or designed by Black women and other people of color.  I will continue to research and feature new designers and brands and while sticking to the style of Wardrobe Oxygen. Some of the new to Wardrobe Oxygen retailers:

  • Banjanan: Caroline Weller is the woman behind Banjanan, a sustainable clothing company designed and created in Jaipur, India. It is a zero-waste company that is made with organic voile, shipped in compostable bags, carbon-offsets any shipping or business travel, and by this fall will have phased out viscose and rayon for a polyester made from 100% recycled water bottles.  Unfortunately, Banjanan only goes up to a Large, which on their size chart is an 8/10.  What a missed opportunity, I know I am not the only one who would rock the heck out of some of Banjanan's pieces. Banjanan is associated with HATCh Showroom.
  • Grass-Fields: Founded by Christelle and Michelle Nganhou, twin sisters from Cameroon, Grass-Fields was created to put the love back into African print clothing. The clothes are made in Cameroon by a team that gets three times the average salary and the clothes are available up to a US size 20.
  • Hackwith Design House: Launched in September 2013 by designer and founder Lisa Hackwith with just one limited-edition design, now Hackwith Design House offers a limited edition design every week with only 25 of each made but also have a Core Collection, Swim, Basics, Plus, and Intimates. Both their Plus and Swim collections are available up to the equivalent of a US size 28. Everything is made in-house in Minnesota with a goal for longevity and low waste.
  • Kaela Kay: Catherine Addai left her corporate job at the end of 2017 to focus on Kaela Kay full-time.  With a focus on Addai's Ghanaian roots, the line emphasizes the beauty in the prints and colors that come from and represent Africa through the Ankara textiles.  The collection is available up to US size 22 and custom orders are also possible. Kaela Kay clothing is produced in Toronto, Canada by local seamstresses.
  • lemlem: Supermodel Liya Kebede was inspired to launch the brand following a trip to her native Ethiopia where she met a group of traditional weavers who no longer had a market for their craft. lemlem Foundation, lemlem’s philanthropic arm, is a non-profit that helps women artisans in Africa by connecting them to healthcare, education and pathways to jobs. Five percent of lemlem’s direct sales, proceeds from special collaborations, and donations advance this mission.  Again, it is unfortunate that this line only goes up to a size L which is the equivalent of US 10/12.

    Hi Alison!
    Such a nice roundup that surely took a lot of time. And nice to see such different brands. I follow a lot of UK fashion bloggers because I find their style is more aligned with mine. Through them, I found out about a brand that seems right up your alley and even with shipping from the UK seems reasonable for the uniqueness and high quality. Kemi Telford is a Nigerian woman living in Britain and I know you’ll love her fabrics and styles and her story. Lots of POCKETS in her dresses and skirts.

    Can you explain the breathability of polyester made from water bottles? Sounds great from an eco standpoint but not so much from a comfort one. I do love viscose and rayon over cotton for cooling but I’m happy to be proven wrong.

    Reply
    • Alison Gary says

      June 12, 2020 at 10:02 am

      I didn’t share that detail for the breathability of the dresses, just as a detail for the brand as a whole. I don’t think it would be terribly breathable but there is a time and a place when a polyester-like fabric is a good choice!

    I applaud you for the diversity in option you are striving to achieve, and these prints are gorgeous. At the moment, with our personal economy what it is, most of these are out of my price range. Our local consignment shops are re-opening with masks required, limited shoppers, so maybe I will try to find something in there made from cotton or linen. It was heat index of 97 here in NC yesterday, so yeah, swampy.

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! 🧡

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.
