I shared these pants from the Black woman-owned fashion brand Evryday Jane in my Friday Shop post. These are the kind of pants you buy not because you’re trying to whittle your waist or “flatter your figure” but because they are unique and fun and architectural while also being super comfy. Oh, and I have…
Yesterday, my daughter and I walked the few blocks to my mom’s house to visit. It was in the 90s and steamy, one of those summer days when you didn’t have to look at the news or an app to know that the blue skies would change later afternoon into a shower. I put on…
Right now I am on a spending… I wouldn’t say freeze but a serious reduction. With so many brands coming out with concerning business practices I am hesitant. I am looking to work with what I have, and when I do need to shop, to do some research before I spend a dime. But in…
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…

Recently in the Wardrobe Oxygen community, a member asked about this puffin sweater and if it was acceptable to wear as a grown-ass…
I realized I haven’t done one of these posts recently. Since my summer road trip, I haven’t been as click-happy with my phone and haven’t captured as many looks but I’ll try to be better about that. I love when I see what people wear for their day-to-day, and since a lot of what I…
