I can’t think of anything better to wear to stay cool in the summer heat than linen and mesh. However, such fabrics can look sloppy, and are also known for being transparent. This look I wore for an outdoor socially distant event. It was a hot evening in July and I was comfortable the whole…
Back in 2018, Wardrobe Oxygen readers asked if I could review Chico’s Wrinkle-Free Linen collection to share the quality, feel, and if it lived up to its name or like other linen, looked like a crumpled paper bag by noon. Not only did the linen hold up to the test, that linen shirt still resides…
Last week I had technical difficulties behind the scenes and my draft blog posts (where I keep posts before they’re ready to be published or posts I have scheduled to go live in the future) disappeared. And that included my “what I wore last week” post. So this week is a mix of the past…
This past week had me craving prints and color and all things spring. While it got so cold this week in Maryland that we had frost and a chance of snow, spring has truly spring with happy birds, flowering trees, intensely blue skies, and every plant bursting forth electric greenery. The week started off warmer…
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;…

This season, Chico’s has a…
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…
While I do wear all the outfits I feature in outfit posts… sometimes there’s a little switcheroo. For this look, I wore it with sneakers and then switched to heels for the photoshoot. The heels are quite comfortable, but a bit too dressy for hitting Whole Foods! I also wore this same exact look with…
