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! 🐾❤️

What I Wore Last Week

wardrobe oxygen what I wore last week 2021

This week I actually went places other than my office! Farmers market, chi chi dinners with a dress code/theme, and an influencer event with no time to get ready. But don't worry, I also shared my office looks for the workweek!

Sunday: Farmers Market Attire

wardrobe oxygen farmers market

Sunday, our city's farmers market had their holiday market, plus my office building had an open house for the community to check it out. It was chilly, but not super cold. I dressed to be outside and comfortable on my feet for a while.

I'm wearing the Talbots Audrey cashmere sweater in size XL, Gap Cheeky Straight Jeans in 32 I've had since this spring, my black Dr. Martens ‘Jadon', my Girlfriend Collective belt bag as a crossbody, The Universal Standard “Sophia” puffer bomber (no longer available, this is similar), ROKA aviator sunglasses, a Candace Cort face mask, and a North Face beanie I have owned for about a decade.

I stopped by my office and bumped into my mom, who was also looking pretty in pink! Of course, we had to get a selfie together!

Monday: Add Lipstick and Make it Streetwear

wardrobe oxygen marimekko

Monday I was running late so to be completely honest, I put on the same thing I wore Sunday evening when sitting at home – this turtleneck from Chico's in size 2 and these pants from the Marimekko x Adidas collab (size Large). Adding lipstick and earrings made this go from loungewear to streetwear.

wardrobe oxygen marimekko for adidas pants

When I first mentioned these pants on Wardrobe Oxygen I said I was going to get them hemmed… and I haven't yet. I'm hiking them up to a weird height or having them puddle around my shoes and that's not cute. I have a pile I need to take to the tailor but just haven't had the gumption. This week running errands I went past my tailor and saw how he is inside a mall yet keeps his door closed and only one client in with him at a time, he had on a mask and face shield; he looked to be doing the most to be COVID safe and it motivated me to head to see him before the month is through.

For those who live in the area, I go to Mode Custom Tailors in Greenbelt. Mr. Kim inherited this business from his father; they have had the same location for almost 40 years. I have had mixed experiences when dealing with formalwear and the bust area; my sister recently had a similar situation with Mr. Kim so I want to share that up front. When trying to adjust things for a bust (threads or snaps to keep a neckline closed, darts for better shape), this isn't his forte. But tailoring a suit or suiting separates for any shape, size, or ability of body, he rocks at it. He's also good at random things like taking an item that fit you when you were a larger body and making them work for your current shape, tailoring activewear, and making jeans fit great without losing what makes them look great.

Tuesday: A Statement Sweater Makes an Instant Outfit

wardrobe oxygen rent the runway

This was not a week where I was feeling super creative with my closet. Good thing my latest Rent the Runway order arrived with some statement sweaters. This one is from Aldo Martins, which makes very cool sweaters but they're like $200-$400 cool sweaters, so it's nice to be able to rent, enjoy as long as I want, and send back for something else while paying far less.

wardrobe oxygen rent the runway sweater

I paired them with my trusty high-waisted flares I got last year at Talbots (these look like an interesting alternative) and my Dr. Martens' Leona boots in brown. I tucked in this sweater just by tucking the very front just above the fly into my waistband and having the hem of the sweater fold under to create a tucked-in effect all around.

Wednesday: Dark Green and Bright Pink

wardrobe oxygen universal standard

Who would have thought a pair of pink slightly shiny wide-leg pants would be so versatile? I seriously love these pants and wish I had bought more when Banana Republic had them. But if you have a chance for pink pants in your life, I say take it because they are the color that keeps giving style and fun ideas for almost every season (these may be a good alternative). Today, I decided to pair them with my dark green Universal Standard cashmere crewneck. Check out my Universal Standard cashmere review; this is me wearing the sweater after washing it per my how to care for cashmere tips.

wardrobe oxygen how to tie a scarf

I don't wear scarves a lot, but I do love them. I have had this short oblong silk scarf from Ann Taylor for a few years. It doesn't have dark green in it but that doesn't matter; the pink pulls it together. I just tied it into an imperfect bow and wore it to the side. Keeping the bow a bit imperfect (I didn't pull out the loops to make it all full) makes it look less like a present or bow tie. And the bow instead of a knot keeps me from looking like a flight attendant and adds a feminine touch. A pair of gold hoops add shine and polish, especially since I went comfy casual with my FILA sneakers.

Thursday: Jump Around

wardrobe oxygen zella jumpsuit

I am so glad I got this Zella jumpsuit this summer. I got it during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but would have paid full price for how often I wear it. It's lightweight and stretchy and doesn't wrinkle and will go into the washer and dryer with ease. The zipper front makes it super easy to get it on and off, and the soft knit cuffs and elasticized waistband give it shape and style. This is the kind of thing I can ball up into a carry-on to have a quick change look when getting to a travel destination.

wardrobe oxygen jumpsuit

Sunday when I wore my Docs I realized I hadn't broken them in completely and they left a blister on my right ankle. So I kept it comfy with my La Canadienne boots which are super supple leather and fit like a glove. I added these insoles to them for extra comfort and support. These boots weren't cheap but they're such incredible quality I've worn them for years and know I will for many years to come. I added my Jenny Bird link necklace for interest.

Thursday Night: Après-ski at the Four Seasons

wardrobe oxygen universal standard puffer

I will delve into this into a separate post, but Thursday night my friend Sylvia gathered a few of her friends to get a preview of the new outdoor chalets at the Four Seasons in Georgetown before they were able to be reserved by the public. We would be having food from Bourbon Steak, the restaurant in the Four Seasons, and Sylvia said the dress code was après-ski.

I haven't skied since 6th grade, I knew this would be an event with a lot of photography and videography, and I wanted to represent those of us who are often one of the biggest and oldest folks in the crowd with a look that was just as fierce and from brands that have a good size range.

what to wear for apres ski

It's the top half of the Universal Standard 4-in-1 Hybrid Puffer, Universal Standard beanie, Universal Standard Foundation turtleneck (tucked in until I removed the coat, then I untucked it liking how it made it look like a catsuit), and Athleta Altitude tights (size large). Sorel “Cate” booties on the bottom and a pair of old ski goggles. REALM earrings and ring previously seen in this post.

Friday: Stripes and Faux Leather

wardrobe oxygen love whit sweater

Another pair of pants I wear weekly in the winter are my faux leather joggers (read my Spanx faux leather joggers review). They're comfy and stretchy and warmer than many other pants in my closet and look luxe even though I feel I am in pajamas. I paired them with another statement sweater I rented from Rent the Runway: this striped sweater from Love, Whit.

wardrobe oxygen office 1

And does my daughter's sweater look familiar? She fell in love with this sweater and I figured I got to wear it, now she can wear it before I send it back to Rent the Runway. For my next membership delivery, I figure we can choose together what to get because she's now the age where she likes my oversized sweaters, and it gets us more for my money if we both enjoy the Rent the Runway membership!

Saturday: Running Late Fashion

brandon blackwood belt bag

Who said weekends were a time for rest? Especially during the holiday season, they can be so exhausting! Saturday I was go go going, and then felt I had some time to fit in a workout since I had hardly done one all week. And then I did two stretches (because I am all about stretching) and suddenly I realized I had 15 minutes to shower and get ready for an influencer event at a local boutique!

wardrobe oxygen brandon blackwood belt bag

The Zella jumpsuit from earlier in the week was thrown over my bedroom chair so I threw it on with my Docs and gold hoops and yanked my dry shampooed but still wonky hair into a ponytail. I did a more natural yet glowy face and used my Brandon Blackwood belt bag as a crossbody and headed out. Folks were in everything from jeans to sequins so my outfit was fine and I arrived just a couple of minutes after my friends so it was a success in my book!

    I really like both the Rent the Runway sweaters and I may have to look into a membership. As I’ve expressed before, I feel in a a bit of a rut clothing-wise and I need to wear fairly conservative, classic clothing to work, but maybe upping my casual looks will pour into upping my work looks. I got a pair of bright pink pants from Ann Taylor–they are cuffed and straight rather than wide-leg–but I do like them and will be playing with some of your suggestions of what to pair with them.

    Your daughter’s clothing choices have helped me get my tween to branch out in the past, especially around jeans and jean shorts. Would you mind sharing the brand (and style if you know it) of her jeans in the Friday photo? My daughter actually wore the jean shorts that I bought after seeing them on your daughter earlier this year which is a minor miracle 🙂 I’d love to keep the momentum going so that she has more than leggings and jeggings in her winter closet.

Loved them again this time, clicked over to the adidas site, found they were on sale, and they next thing I knew I was clicking add to bag and now they are on the way to me. Hope they work for me as well as they work for you

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!

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.
