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! 🐾❤️

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! 🧡

Weekend Reads #260

Let’s Talk About the September Cover of Vogue. (Cup of Jo)

Nearly 90% of consumers no longer trust influencers, new study finds. (The Drum)

Who's afraid of Imagine Dragons? (Dirt)

How the drunk party anthem sobered up. (GQ UK)

I keep raving about my Eight Sleep mattress cover; this weekend it is $75 off and any accessories are 20% off if you buy a cover. And with code ALISON you get an extra $100 off!

Generation X Is Staring Down Retirement, and Student Loan Debt. (New York Times – gift article)

How to find joy when life seems awful. (Washington Post – gift article)

Back to school is here, are you ready? Nike has an extra 20% off select styles and I personally ordered some pieces for my high schooler as well as myself. Nike has a good selection of plus size activewear, sweats, and athleisure and this sale includes a lot of apparel, activewear, and accessories as well as cool for school shoes.

I Wrote The Care and Keeping of You for Girls. This Wasn’t the Future I Imagined for Them. (Elle)

My Generation: Anthem for a forgotten cohort. (Harper's Magazine)

What happened to Wirecutter? (The Atlantic) This one interested me, because I too have seen the change in Wirecutter and even mentioned it in my best bathsheet review. When I saw they replaced their Costco recommendation with one from a retailer with a high affiliate commission, I started questioning their reviews.

The influx of Amazon recommendations was also suspect; I knew thanks to also working with Amazon that this is because folks never buy just that one thing on Amazon; they buy a whole cart of randomness and last click wins the commission. Anyway, if you can't read this article due to the paywall know these folks also have seen the change in Wirecutter since The New York Times bought it. It's not just you. And me.

The “pro-life” movement looks an awful lot like a pro-rape movement. (Jill Filipovic)

The thing that’s missing from your anti-aging routine. (A Friend Indeed)

In an effort to attract and retain experienced women, some companies are adding menopause-specific care to their benefits packages. (New York Times – gift article)

How sustainable is refillable packaging really? (Dazed)

For my local yokels, a story for those who grew up in the DMV. (Margaret Crandall)

And another for my local yokels, I finally Googled this after wondering for a year: Artist Explains Why He Put Up ‘Empathy' Signs Throughout DC Area. (NBC 4 Washington)

See/Hear/Read

I'm home from our last summer vacation, a Kindle of partially read books and a DVR near 100% with randomness recorded while we were away. We've caught up on Project Runway and Physical, and in the early hours when the rest of the family is still asleep, I do stretches on the living room rug while watching …And Just Like That and Real Housewives of New York City. I stan for Jenna Lyons; I thought she was cool at J. Crew but I had no idea how cool and I love how this Bravo reality show is letting me peek into her super chic IDGAF world.

My daughter woke earlier than normal the other morning and caught the tail end of the latest RHONY. She is an age where people are so binary bad or good, kind or evil, cool or cringe. She said she didn't like one character after seeing her on the screen for five minutes. I ended up telling her about that person's difficult childhood, how they have really created a life for themselves, and how to not judge a book by their cover or their quippy phrases on a reality TV show. Seriously, RHONY this season is unlike any other Housewives franchise I have previously experienced and I look forward to each episode.

I finished The Menopause Manifesto, by Dr. Jen Gunter, after writing about perimenopause and so many of you telling me I should read the book that had been on my nightstand so long it was sticky from dust. It's funny, I opened it and realized I only had a half-hour worth of reading left in the book. I have no idea why I stopped, likely because of the brain fog, forgetfulness, and chaos that is a perimenopausal brain.

When I wrote about mouth taping for sleep, folks recommended I read Breath by James Nestor. I visited my mom, saw the book in her bookcase, and realized I had read it. I read it, and found it so powerful, I loaned my copy to her. I even wrote about it in a previous Weekend Reads and recommended it as a great gift for grown-ass women.

The perimenopausal brain is like a kitchen junk drawer. It's full of treasures underneath bread ties, paper clips, and pads of Post-It Notes. It takes a Saturday afternoon or six weeks of HRT to get to the bottom and find what's valuable and organize the rest. Little by little I'm finding my way, finding myself, and finding my life during these years in a fog.

For Your Entertainment

miley cyrus single used to be young

I'm an age, and my kid is an age, where Miley Cyrus was not a “thing” for us when she was best known as Hannah Montana. When “Party in the USA” came out, that was when I first was aware of her. But when she came into her own with songs like, “Wrecking Ball” and “Midnight Sky” I became a fan. Sure, she had some weird and icky moments, but imagine if we were growing up in the public eye, we'd possibly do similar (or hide it, fight it, and end up like other child stars who haven't turned out quite as well).

I actually appreciate seeing her transition from persona to persona, not taking anything past the point of no return, and creating music from the experience (hello “Flowers”? That is one hell of an earworm). When folks tell me they don't like her because of X, Y, or Z she did over the past decade, I remind them that they too used to be young. And then this song came out.

“This song is about honoring who we’ve been, loving who we are and celebrating who we will become,” said Cyrus, 30, of the tearjerking ballad in a press release. “I feel proud when reflecting on my past and optimistic when thinking about the future.” (People) I think many of us can relate.

    I still want to urge you and any readers in the throes of menopause or perimenopause to read “Estrogen Matters” by Avril Bluming and Carol Tavris. It is eye opening. It is the most cogent explanation of how the 2002 Womens Health Initiative study put the fear of HRT into the populace. In my mind the authors lay to rest the fear of HRT so many people have and explain its many benefits.

    The book is the prime reason that I returned to HRT after a 5 year hiatus. The insurance company I had in 2014 decided that after I had been on HRT for 2 years they would no longer pay for it. I was told by the medical establishment that since I was 60 that year and the collective wisdom was to use HRT in the lowest dose possible for the shortest time possible, it was best to discontinue the meds. I could not afford to pay for my prescription out-of-pocket, so I weaned off the patches. I was plunged into rebound hot flash hell. I was told to tough it out and told that most women would be back to baseline, which for me was dozens of hot flashes and insomnia, by the 3 year mark. The insomnia, crashing fatigue, hot flashes, and other bothersome symptoms were still with me at the 5 year mark in 2019. My situation had improved somewhat, but my quality of life was still not good. After reading Mache Seibel’s book “The Estrogen Fix” and speaking with him by phone and then reading “Estrogen Matters” I was convinced that I needed to find a doctor willing to allow me to go back on HRT. I am fortunate that I found a gynecologist who is willing to listen and to work with me.

    I re-started HRT in January 2019. My doctor started with an ultra low dose birth control pill. It did not help with the hot flashes and led to spotting. She went to a different ultra low dose birth control pill that had a higher dose of hormones. Same result. After trying and failing 3 different birth control pills the doctor sighed and said she guessed we’d have to do traditional HRT. Hallelujah! The estrogen/progestin combo helped, but I still had an average of 4 hot flashes every night. I was sleeping better, but I still did not feel as good as before menopause in 2008. We doubled my dose a year ago. That got the hot flashes down to 2 per night four or five nights a week. I saw the doctor at the beginning of this month and we have again adjusted the dose on my meds. We have upped the dose of the progestin. I’ve been on the new regime for 3 weeks. I still can’t tell if it will make a difference.

    I am one of those exceptional women for whom menopause has been a very rocky road. No one knows why. I have none of the typical risk factors – smoking, obesity, family history, drug use – that should lead to severe menopausal symptoms. I will be 69 in less than 2 months. My last period was in May of 2008. So, I have been struggling with life disrupting symptoms for 15 years! I am otherwise very healthy. I have no adverse health conditions. I do not have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a heart condition. I have never had surgery. I have never been hospitalized except during child birth. (I gave birth very quickly and easily 2 times and breast fed exclusively.) I take no prescription medications other than my HRT. No one has any explanation for why menopause has been so bothersome. I am just an outlier. But, I know there are other women out there like me.

    I feel absolutely awful that we and our doctors have been made to fear the one treatment that can help us. Insurance companies are also part of the problem. Since I am “elderly” (my GP and my gynecologist both scoff at that) and have been on Medicare for nearly 4 years, getting insurance to pay for my HRT is a problem. Medicare and my Medicare supplemental insurer are very reluctant to allow someone my age to take HRT. My gynecologist has to do battle for me every year to get my prescription covered. This is all thanks to the horridly designed 2002 WHI study. It’s too bad there is not some sort of punishment available for what I consider to be gross medical malpractice against millions of women worldwide!

    “…folks never buy just that one thing on Amazon; they buy a whole cart of randomness”.
    I do. Buy one thing, that is.
    It’s the equivalent of the awfully inaccurate “…everyone…”.
    Nope. Not everyone. Many, the majority…But not “everyone”.

    Re Wirecutter. The inside baseball info on the commissions associated with their recommendations is interesting. I’d never have known that otherwise. I do know that I’ve bought a couple of items on their recommendation that turned out to be real duds, somI don’t have the same trust in their recommendations that I used to.

      I completely agree re NYT Wirecutter. This also pairs nicely with the piece that says 90% of Americans do not trust or listen to influencers — I agree, and currently refuse to buy anything that includes language like “I’m obsessed with this” because I know the writer is speaking social media speak, AKA brainwashing. Luckily, I have found a handful of people I do trust, Allison included. .

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!

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.
