Scenes from a Friday night…

We started at @littleblackbirddc a new wine bar in Cleveland Park where we had great food, drink, and conversation into the evening. We then headed down the street to @atomicbilliards for a whole different experience and to keep the conversation going. I treasure my friendships with @sylviacolella (who had a birthday recently), @districtofchic, and @blonde_inthedistrict they’re the real deal 🥰

My dress is @adamlippes borrowed via @renttherunway and Cheetos with Sauvignon Blanc is a really fun pairing!

Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

How to Help

Founded in 1973 after the simple act of a mother publicly supporting her gay son, PFLAG is the first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, their parents and families, and allies. Last year I walked with PFLAG Metro DC in the DC Pride parade and have been donating to this organization ever since. PFLAG envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. PFLAG's mission is to build on a foundation of loving families united with LGBTQ+ people and allies who support one another, and to educate ourselves and our communities to speak up as advocates until all hearts and minds respect, value, and affirm LGBTQ people. Advocacy is a big part of the mission of PFLAG, with members and supporters working to achieve LGBTQ+ equality through changing hearts, minds, and laws. They work at the community level, at the city and state level, and at the federal level to effect change so that people who are LGBTQ+ are safe and equal in their communities.   Click here to find your local PFLAG chapter and click here to donate to PFLAG. As with all organizations featured on Wardrobe Oxygen, an additional donation has been made to this organization.

Soma has 30% off your entire purchase this weekend! Y'all KNOW I love Soma.  You can see all my Soma reviews at this link but here's a quick list of my very favorite items:

  • Bras: The Enbliss Bralette is the perfect wireless lounge/sleep/casual bra up to a D cup.  If you are larger, this wireless bra is my JAM. And this is by far my favorite summer bra – it's cooling, smooth under lightweight knits, and the straps are slim and pretty enough that if they peek out of a tank it's not terrible.
  • Undies: These are my favorite for feeling like you have nothing on and not worrying about them rolling down mid-day and they come in five skin tones. These are my favorite for wearing under dresses when I don't want a line showing at my waist and come in three skin tones.  And these are the best to wear under most anything because they don't leave panty lines, don't shift or roll or ride, feel comfy, aren't too high rise on my 5'3″ frame and come in pretty prints and colors as well as multiple skin tones.
  • Sleep: The Cool Nights line by far is my favorite pajamas. If you sleep hot or are dealing with hot flashes, you need these.  The fabric is so great they even have pillowcases from the fabric. For a great summer weight robe in a perfect length, this is my absolute favorite.  I love the cropped Cool Nights pants and wear them all summer long, often with one of their soft support sleep camis.
  • Apparel: Some of the oldest and best-looking loungewear and dresses in my wardrobe are from Soma. This is the kind of maxi dress you can wear hanging out at home or glam up for a night out. These leggings are soft and thin and perfect under dresses and longer tunics or for lounging at home.  I wear these tanks under blazers and cardigans, as activewear, as loungewear, and find them so comfy, polished, and wash up great. These are my favorite joggers, and dozens of you said you also love this cocoon wrap. And this t-shirt is a sleeper hit.  It has the trendy slub effect while being completely opaque and has an amazing shape and washes beautifully.

Without Black women, plus size fashion wouldn't exist. (StyleCaster)

The Nordstrom Clearance Sale is happening and it's worth taking a peek.  There are some fantastic pieces on major discount.  These wedge espadrille sandals from Born are perfect with all your sundresses and under wide-leg linen trousers.  I have a version of this dress (seen here) and it's one of the best summer dresses I've even owned and still own! These slip-on sneakers are cool, low-profile, and neutral enough to go with your whole summer wardrobe. Want a stylish heeled sandal that is also stable and can be worn for hours?  This is a great choice for around $65. And finally, these perfect silky pants from Eileen Fisher are 70% off and will make a simple sweater look formal. With 60% off and more, this is a sale you do not want to miss.

See/Hear/Read

Okay, K and I totally went down a rabbit hole this week.  It started innocently enough – we finished The Great on Hulu, loved it, and wanted to watch another series that was quirky, witty, maybe dark but not as violent. So I researched and in an article, I think on Vanity Fair, I heard about Dispatches from Elsewhere, a series on AMC created by and starring Jason Segal as well as other fab people like Sally Field and Andre Benjamin.  We watched the first two episodes and were fascinated and began doing some research. Well, this wacky TV series is based on a true story, and there is a documentary called The Institute (we were able to watch it free on Tubi which is part of our Xfinity OnDemand but it's also on Amazon Prime and a few other places).  So we watched that.  And read a bunch of articles we could find about it all and couldn't figure out what is true, what is fantasy, do we even care, then went back to the series.  We have watched four episodes so far and really enjoy it. If you do decide to watch this series and go down a rabbit hole:

  • An article about The Jejune Institute in the New York Times 
  • An interview in Rolling Stone with Jason Segal on why he made this series 
  • We so far thought it could be something E could watch at age 11 but she doesn't like it; Commonsense Media's thoughts on the series.
  • Nonchalance.com (click the icon at the top to access different pages and sites)

Right now reading White Fragility, but on the nightstand is How to Be an Antiracist, So You Want to Talk About Race, and Wow, No Thank You. 

Listening to RomComPods, a new podcast by my friend Becca Freeman that is like a Hallmark movie and an old radio show joined forces. A nice fun distraction for your drive, walk, or while preparing dinner. 

For Your Entertainment


“I Can't Breathe” by H.E.R.

Trying times all the time
Destruction of minds, bodies, and human rights
Stripped of bloodlines, whipped and confined
This is the American pride
It's justifying a genocide
Romanticizing the theft and bloodshed
That made America the land of the free
To take a black life, land of the free
To bring a gun to a peaceful fight for civil rights
You are desensitized to pulling triggers on innocent lives
Because that's how we got here in the first place
These wounds sink deeper than the bullet
Your entitled hands could ever reach
Generations and generations of pain, fear, and anxiety
Equality is walking without intuition
Saying the protector and the killer is wearing the same uniform
The revolution is not televised
Media perception is forced down the throats of closed minds
So it's lies in the headlines
And generations of supremacy resulting in your ignorant, privileged eyes
We breathe the same and we bleed the same
But still, we don't see the same
Be thankful we are God-fearing
Because we do not seek revenge
We seek justice, we are past fear
We are fed up eating your shit
Because you think your so-called “black friend”
Validates your wokeness and erases your racism
That kind of uncomfortable conversation is too hard for your trust-fund pockets to swallow
To swallow the strange fruit hanging from my family tree
Because of your audacity
To say all men are created equal in the eyes of God
But disparage a man based on the color of his skin
Do not say you do not see color
When you see us, see us
We can't breathe

    Hi Allie,

    Not sure if this is the right platform for this (let me know if not), but I just read an email from the Ally shoes brand you told us about, with an interview for a size inclusive retailer. Looking at their website, it seems makes good basics with sophisticated & clean lines (kinda like Universal Standard, but with a little more colour choice lol): https://itshours.co/

    Here’s the interview from Ally shoes with the founders, two women of colour.
    https://www.ally.nyc/blogs/news/female-founders-harroop-gulati-kaur-naaz-gulati

    Just thought I’d put them on your radar, in case you weren’t already aware. Thanks!

      Right? And to see how much of the “documentary” was used in the series. We have two episodes left, we started binging but as we got deeper into it we want to savor each episode!

    Wow!

    Thank you for the link to Samantha Fore’s article. I had heard something about it, but not enough to be able to find it.

    After I read it, I googled the feature she referred to. The photo that leads the feature is all you need to see: her food, with 4 white people eating it. WTF? (& to be even more 1950s, the 4 whites are 2 male-female couples. Hello!)

    But it’s not just Bon Appetit. BA is part of Condé Nast. Anna Wintour has been Conde Nast’s Artistic director since 2013. This moment has brought her enough flack that she apologized in an email (I’m not sure if it was just to Vogue employees or to Condé Nast employees). But it’s the typical: heavy on words, light on meaning.

    Meanwhile, Edward Enningfield at Vogue UK has been putting out a much more interesting magazine than Anna. Here’s an example. https://www.gofugyourself.com/this-months-british-vogue-covers-are-very-moving-06-2020

      TOTALLY agree, Conde Nast as a whole is problematic. I really expected Wintour to step down last week.

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.
