weekend reads

Thank you all for sticking with me through a wonky week on Wardrobe Oxygen. I’m looking forward to getting back into the rhythm and have some good things on the horizon. How does a review of white jeans sound? I want to get a full range of brands and as always will have detailed shots…

This was an unusually difficult week for me.  One of those weeks where I wake up already feeling overwhelmed and as though I screwed something up.  I hardly left my house; Tuesday night I had plans with my sister to see Stormy Daniels speak at The Wing and I bowed out because it just seemed…

It’s very easy when you work from home and work for yourself to feel isolated and turn that isolation into anger, jealousy, paranoia, and frustration. I’ve been down about the whole influencer world.

I use this wall as a. bit of a bulletin board, tucking thank you cards, photos, and tear-outs from magazines between the frames and glass. This week I was cleaning up my office and found one…

Wardrobe Oxygen got a bit of a makeover, what do you think? If you’re reading by email or an RSS tool like Feedly or The Old Reader I encourage you to click and visit. Websites and blogs work hard to have their sites best showcase their content. Like your closet, you’ll maintain a general style…

I had a whole different beginning to Weekend Reads and at 6:51 am this morning I deleted it.  It all seems so trite with the kind of week the US had.  I’m so glad the weekend ended with the government opening back up, if only for a few weeks.  I live just a few miles…
