Capaule wardrobes, outfits, and information about the apparel brand cabi by Alison Gary, a previous cabi model and size 14/16 over-40 working mom and fashion blogger.
My co-model is making another appearance today! She’s now at an age where she understands social media, can make decisions for herself, and has opinions on what she wears and how she is portrayed. Talbots has a campaign for Mother’s Day where we were invited to share our “momtras,” style-focused mantras we live by that…
I have been creating capsule wardrobes on Wardrobe Oxygen since 2005; not only is it one of the most popular content on this site, but it is the most fun to put together. I truly believe you can achieve big style with a small closet, and love proving that by creating collections of clothing that…
Tuesday I attended training to be an election judge for my county. Maryland has its primaries at the end of April and though I’ve taken this training before, it was back in 2018 and a refresher was well appreciated. Also, since 2018 our county has updated some aspects of voting. We now offer same-day registration;…
I don’t know about you, but a lot of times when I see websites and influencers promoting what they consider athleisure, it isn’t terribly… realistic for real life.

Being a full-time blogger can be an overwhelming job. I don’t have the security of a big company sending me paychecks, taking care of taxes and insurance, and retirement. I don’t get paid time off for vacations and when I am sick, and I really miss that big fancy copier that scanned and collated. But…
When I was in a sorority in college, we were told to never “double letter.” That meant wearing your sorority’s Greek letters on more than one item of clothing, say “billboard” letters on a sweatshirt with a hat embroidered with them. It was a major faux pas and it was a style rule I stuck…
For years, my business casual, dinner out with the family, weekend run to the mall, and coffee with friends uniform involved jeans. Bootcut jeans with Chelsea boots, skinny jeans with knee-high boots, boyfriend jeans with sneakers, ankle-length straight jeans with loafers… you get the idea. I think it’s a uniform many of us have in…
I believe in quality, not quantity when it comes to what you put in your closet. However, when it comes to outfit photos I’m trying to do quantity and not focus on quality. This way I can do more of these “what I wore off the blog” posts to show that you should focus on…
