While I’ve known of and worn the clothing line cabi for several years, 2017 was the year where I really got to understand the brand, the people behind it, and what makes it so special. I had the opportunity, along with a few other bloggers, to fly to LA and dine with cabi’s executive team….
When we bought our home in 2001, it was an historic row home of fewer than 750 square feet. We loved the location – an end unit in a quiet part of town with a large backyard that backed up to woods. However, when we found out I was pregnant we knew the house wasn’t…
If you’ve been reading Wardrobe Oxygen for a while you know I have a special place in my heart for Goodwill. It’s an organization that not only helps you score great fashion and homegoods for less, but it helps people right in your own neighborhood find jobs. Recently Goodwill of Greater Washington invited me and…
Yesterday afternoon the family and I got back from the BlogHer conference in New York City. When I was researching what to pack for BlogHer everyone said save space in your luggage or even bring a separate suitcase for all the swag you’ll be bringing home.

A couple weekends ago, I attended an outdoor wedding. Our friends’ Big Day was hot – extremely hot, and extremely humid. There was also a chance of rain. Not only was I an invited guest, but Karl was the hired photographer and I was to assist him in organizing guests for posed photos. Emerson was…
Soma contacted me and asked if I’d like to come to their boutique at the Westfield Montgomery Mall and get a bra fitting and try their Enhancing Shape Bra. I heard about this bra through InStyle, who considers it to be the solution for “ski slope” (the gap at the top of bra cups). I’ve…
Last year I had the opportunity to head to NYC and style a photoshoot for Foxcroft Collection. I’ve been a fan of their no-iron shirts for a while (and love that they come in Plus and Petite), and it was fun to support them with this project. And it wasn’t any old project either. To…
Man it’s hard to look stylish with only one working arm! The cast is too thick to work with any blouse, shirt, coat, blazer, or many sweaters and knits in my wardrobe. Dresses ride up with the sling or when brushing against the cast. I can’t button jeans or pants that are fitted, can’t maneuver…
I may splurge on a great pair of shoes or bag, but I’m frugal when it comes to electronics. I don’t have my own laptop, I’m still on an iPhone 4, and there’s not a single tablet in the Gary household. When I ride the Metro or travel, I’m always jealous of my fellow…
