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! 🐾❤️

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! 🧡

#throwbackthursday to what I wore 10 years ago in September…

A decade ago I was working full time in an office and was promoted to manage a good portion of my department. My blog was doing quite well, I was featured in local and national publications and websites. I was embracing what I felt to be a polished professional with an edgy vibe. Less color, more interesting accessories, and my first semi-designer bag (I still have that leopard print mini M.A.C. In the back of my closet). 

I have come to embrace color and have way less black in my closet now, but a lot of these looks are timeless and I would wear now… just likely with lower heels! 😂

Do you recall what you were wearing a decade ago? How similar is it to how you dress now?

roar dr stacy sims

My husband listens to a lot of fitness podcasts and recommended I listen to this episode of the WHOOP podcast with Dr. Stacy Sims. I put it off because I just didn't have the mindspace to learn about some health or food or activity thing I wasn't already doing. But one day I didn't feel like taking a class but still riding my Peloton bike so I listened. I regret not listening sooner.

Dr. Stacy Sims focuses on fitness and health for women. Her catchphrase is women are not small men and she means it in how our bodies are built come puberty, our hormones and how they affect everything from our gut to our performance, and how we need different fitness and food and sleep and supplements than men. I loved what I learned so much I then listened to Dr. Sims' TED Talk.

While I am not an athlete, I do see as I get older that I need to treat my body like an athlete in regard to fuel, recovery, and having regular movement. I ordered Sims' book ROAR and read 80% of it while on vacation. My family was sick of me spouting out nuggets of wisdom I learned from the book and it's dog-eared at least once in almost every chapter with knowledge I don't want to lose. This book hit me so hard I ordered one for my best friend while reading it on the beach.

Yes, this book is written for Crossfitters and triathletes and other hardcore fitness enthusiasts. But even if your daily exercise is taking Fido for a walk around the block, this book is a valuable resource for understanding your body as a woman, why diets you have tried didn't work after three months, why your husband and you can start the same diet or fitness routine and he sees results almost immediately and you end up gaining five pounds. And there is a lot on what we need to do as women to keep our bodies performing as well as possible as we age.

51JFDdtE59L

My therapist is a fan of cognitive behavioral therapy and has assigned me a few chapters of Feeling Good by Dr. David D. Burns so I decided to buy the book and read it in its entirety. Dr. Burns also has a TED Talk worth watching to get his vibe. Anyway, I am already glad I bought this book. Life is really heavy right now for all of us, and we can feel helpless, angry, depressed, and anxious. The lessons in this book won't change the world but they can change how we react to it.

I also shared nuggets of wisdom regularly with family while reading it on vacation. I felt my husband would also benefit from the book. The day before we left, my husband took the ferry back to the mainland to take some of our luggage so it would be easier heading out the following day. While on the ferry he met a woman, a fellow yoga instructor. They had a great conversation and she pulled out a book she was reading to recommend it to him: it was Feeling Good Together, also by Dr. Burns.

He took a photo and brought it back to me, not even realizing that it was the same author of the book I had been quoting all week. I felt this was… a sign, kismet, something. Since I was reading Feeling Good on my Kindle, my husband bought a paper version for himself to read along with me and a paper copy of Feeling Good Together that we could read afterward.

In the Wardrobe Oxygen Community on Facebook, I asked for fiction books to read on the beach, but I clearly didn't read any fiction. However, these books made me feel positive, focused, and as though I am being proactive and caring for myself. With how things are going in the world, there is a need for escapism, but also in self-preservation and self-care and these reads helped me far more than chick lit or a gripping mystery.


We have Apple TV which I know not all have. At first I found it a waste of money and unsubscribed, but lately, they've been rocking with some really fantastic content and many of the older movies we want to be sure our kid sees.

ted lasso season 2

We watched Season 1 of Ted Lasso and were so glad when Season 2 started. And the second season does not disappoint. This season we are watching with our daughter who LOVES the show. And I love the feel-good vibe, the messaging, and the strong well-developed female characters. We look forward every time there is a new episode, and I can't think of a show I have been so emotionally involved with since Schitt's Creek.

coda film

Also on Apple TV, this week we watched CODA. CODA stands for Child of Deaf Adults; coda is also a concluding musical section that is formally distinct from the main structure. These two definitions are fitting for one of the most beautiful heartfelt films our family has enjoyed in a long while.

CODA is about Ruby, a senior in high school in Glouster, Massachuttes. She is the only hearing person in her family; both parents and her older brother are deaf. Her family has a fishing business and since she was little, Ruby has been the interpreter for them. Ruby loves to sing, but her family doesn't fully comprehend this as they haven't heard her or know if she's any good. There is a struggle with what Ruby wants to do with her life and what she feels she must do to help her family.

coda movie

CODA is adapted from the French film La Famille Bélier, but unlike that film, writer/director Sian Heder chose deaf actors for the family. Oscar-winner Marlee Matlin plays Ruby's mother; Troy Kotsur steals the show playing Ruby's father, and Daniel Durant plays Ruby's charming and frustrated brother.

coda

Ruby, played by Emilia Jones, is relatable and has an amazing voice. Eugenio Derbez plays her choir director and he too is positively brilliant. This cast was so fantastic, the story so good, the relationships so well developed, I can't recommend this film enough.

For Your Entertainment

finneas

Finneas is known for being Billie Eilish's brother and collaborator; a Grammy-award-winning songwriter and producer. But Finneas is also an artist in his own right with his first solo album, Optimist, coming out next month. His single, “The 90s” had its video come out this week and my first time hearing the song was when the video was recommended to me by the YouTube algorithm. But it wasn't my last time for each time I listen to it, I get more from it and like it more.

It's easy to disregard someone who wasn't old enough to remember the '90s singing about the decade (Finneas was born in 1997) but the concept of the song isn't really about that decade, but about life before. Before the internet, before how things are and feel now. And while Finneas is young, his words are relatable to many generations, including those of us who lived through the '90s and remember it well.

All the time I should've been so happy I was here
Wasting it on worryin', just made it disappear
Now my head feels so heavy I'm left holding up the levee
Feels so foreign, I'm already home
When your heart starts to harden
Lay your guard down in your garden
Same backyard, but we are not home.

    It takes me a while to read through all the links, but I wanted to comment on a few. My husband & I LOVE Ted Lasso so much! We binged Season 1 (well, we’d watch about 3 episodes at a time because it was so lovely that we wanted to stretch it out a bit & really enjoy it). Now, we save each new episode for Sunday nights—it helps with the Sunday Scaries!

    Dr. Gunter’s articles—thank you! I am loving her site & keep going back & reading more of her posts.

    Monica Lewinsky: yes, we owe her such a huge apology! It makes me sick, now, to think of the constant abuse she went through for so many years. I feel incredibly ashamed for my own part in that. As an Arkansan who had grown up with Clinton as my Governor for almost my entire childhood & teen years, I was sickened as a young adult to realize that all the “rumors” about his womanizing over the years were not rumors. I idolized Hilary Clinton & couldn’t wrap my head around a strong woman like her tolerating his behavior. So, I too made fun of Monica & blamed her. I’m sorry for that. Her resilience to keep going after all of these years is impressive. It can’t have been easy.

    The Same Damn Lesson Again: ugh! I am so tired of Covid & even more tired of the people who won’t do their part to help get it under control. Wear a damn mask & get the vaccine. Stop congregating in large groups while it rages. My state is in terrible shape. We are small & largely rural; we’ve now had over 7000 deaths from Covid & the majority of people here continue to pretend there’s nothing to worry about. I’m tired of being in the minority of people who have tried to do the “right thing” since the Pandemic began. Why can’t people act right? I’m sad. I’m tired. I’m beyond frustrated.

    I love Ted Lasso. I cruised through the first season and the first 5 of the second season on my own and I finally, FINALLY convinced my husband that he’d like it. He watched S2E6 with me and was hooked. Now I’m re-binging it all with him. It’s a beauty and Roy/Keeley are just the best.

    I just bought Feeling Good. I am tied up in such sad and angry knots that I don’t know if I’ll ever manage to untangle myself.

    Your post yesterday was valuable to even me, a 68-year-old retired teacher with no children. What a difficult decision parents face when protecting their children is the number one priority. You were given lots of great advice about enhancing the home school options. Hope you can figure out a way for your daughter to socialize a bit and for you to feel safe.

    I always enjoy your Weekend Reads. Thank you for posting them. I appreciate the time it takes to research these articles.

    Menopocalypse is another good book with fitness and diet advice specifically for the menopause years. I found it because it was blurbed by Dr. Gunter.

    “Feeling Good” was given to me in therapy long ago -I think it was the mid 90s? I believe there’s a workbook that goes with it, which I also found invaluable. I love hearing that it’s still being used and still helping people!

    I liked your post yesterday. So many of us are scared and angry and sad. It helps everyone when we share it.

    On a lighter note, Ted Lasso is amazing. I read recently that they have a 3-season arc planned for every character, which helped me get over my angst about Nate’s current direction…

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 🥵

For more of our trip check the “Savannah” highlight on my profile page!

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.
