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! 🧡

What I Wore: Not Similar

wardrobe oxygen over 40 fashion bloggerdress | tights | bag | lipstick

wardrobe oxygen lou and grey sweatshirt dress wardrobe oxygen size 14 fashion blog wardrobe oxygen over 40 size 14 fashion blog 1Dress: Lou & Grey at LOFT (XL) | Fleece Tights: LOFT (similar) | Boots: Ros Hommerson | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Lipstick: Lancome in Le Carmin | Necklace: Argento Vivo | Bracelet: Rebecca Minkoff

I wore this outfit Saturday night. We went to a friend's house to celebrate his birthday. This dress is a new purchase; it's super soft and cozy; paired with fleece tights I feel like I'm in pajamas. Add heeled boots and a statement necklace and I look festive even though I'm in head to toe fleece. Especially nice on a super windy day like this one was (no that's not bedhead, that's Mother Nature giving me a tousled ‘do).

Now let's get to the reason for the title of this blog post. Wearing new clothes as a fashion blogger is great – you link to the exact item, it's easy to find similar pieces in other sizes, life is grand. But say you're wearing beloved boots that are older than your child, that have been reheeled and resoled a zillion times, that were altered to fit your wide calves and short legs. And maybe your statement necklace and bracelet are over a year old and no longer made. Well, I could link to similar pieces but honestly there isn't anything similar out there on the market. So if I click similar I'll just annoy you by linking to stretch stiletto boots for skinny legs or dumpy riding boots with too many buckles.

When I bought these boots from Wide Widths almost a decade ago, I had a hard time choosing a pair from all the options. There were a lot of styles that were sleek, chic, and dressy yet fit my mondo extra wide calves. These days, it's near impossible to find wide calf boots that have a heel and not a platform (or too many buckles – what's up with all the buckles on wide calf boots?). If you find a decent silhouette, usually they're made of faux leather and not crafted to last more than a season or two. If they're stylish and well made, they're not cut for wide calves.  These boots are past their prime. The elastic is shot, one zipper is broken and won't unzip, and as I mentioned above, they've been reheeled and resoled a zillion times. I used to get my wide calf boot fix from DUO, but when they became Ted & Muffy the fit changed along with the quality for price.  So not only would I love to link to something similar, I'd love to buy it.  Plus size fashion has improved over the past decade but it's still near impossible to find well-made, elegant boots for plus size legs.  And no, a 17″ shaft instead of a 16″ shaft is NOT wide calf, thanks so much Kate Spade.  So world, if you make real leather boots for a 19″ calf that are on trend styles, call me, we'll do lunch, K?

    I’m not trying to argue, just wanted to let you know that the struggle is real for many…I have big feet (10) but narrow calves. I CANNOT find boots that don’t flop off my legs and still fit my feet!! I don’t understand why they can’t offer options for various calf sizes!!

      I do recommend Ted & Muffy for this, they go in both directions for shaft width and have all the same sizes of shafts regardless of foot size. Worth it to check them out, especially when they’re having a sale!

    As another lady with wide calves, one of my biggest frustrations is pants that are too tight in the calves! I love ankle pants but don’t want to look like a sausage from the ankle to the knee.

    I have an amazing pair of wide calf suede boots from Aerosoles that I bought last year for a trip to Ireland. Bought them directly from the Aerosoles website. I’m wearing them now, and wear them constantly they’re so comfortable! They have a 2nd zipper with extra material that makes the calf size adjustable. The nice thing about this is if I’m wearing thin leggings I can zip up more and if I have jeans on or a tall pair of thick socks, I can have more room in the calf. I just checked their website the other day but I didn’t see any tall boots, hoping later in the year they’ll return, because I’d love another pair or 2 just like this.

    While we’re talking about such things, why do clothing manufactures think that all “plus” women are short. Some of us are plus and tall. In so many pants you can purchase “tall” or “plus” but not both. I don’t understand that. I need a long length AND a big size.

    Wide calf boots are absolutely the worst. In the boots that I have tried, there’s also the assumption that you must have wide feet. I own a pair that feels a full size larger than intended, and my feet slide all around the shoe. I end up wearing two pairs of socks to make up for it.

    I have loved the ankle boot trend because, while those still have fit issues, I don’t have to worry about being able to zip them (and if I can zip them, worrying that I will burst a zipper if I move.)

      I’m glad the brown boot over skinny jean trend is dying, but for a decade I’ve found the benefit of a sleeker tall dress boot in my wardrobe. Not all with wide calves have them because they’re big people or have big feet! Agree with the ankle boot, it’s a great equalizer!

      • Kate K says

        February 16, 2017 at 6:41 pm

        Agreed! I seldom wear taller boots over skinny jeans or pants anymore, but I still consistently wear a dressier heeled boot with skirts and dresses and tights. I live in Wisconsin and it’s great being able to reach for a dress boot to add an extra layer of warmth for a night out.

          Oh no, if you like it and it fits your personal style ROCK those boots and jeans! Trends now are so fluid there’s no definite in or out. However I do caution you wearing it with a blanket scarf and/or puffer vest. But with a sweater or blazer or a blouse it’s great!

    Or, just because you have wide calves, they assume your feet are also wide! I have two pairs of boots I treat like gold because I don’t want to wear them out (pun sorta intended). I’ve even embraced the trend of moto boots with dresses because I want to wear boots. I love your blog and your no-nonsense approach to fashion and life!

    You look fabulous! Your boots don’t look that old at all. The key to making any leather items last is upkeep. Your boots reflect that. Regarding sizing, I have the opposite problem, skinny calves. So typically in the past, boots fit awkwardly making my legs look even thinner. The newer styles are getting thinner and are fitting me nicely.

    Reply
    • Allie at Wardrobe Oxygen says

      February 16, 2017 at 2:09 pm

      If there’s a cobbler in your area I can’t recommend getting boots altered enough. It’s pretty easy to narrow shafts, they can take an existing seam or two and nip in there. And if they stretch out over the years they can nip them again. But you’re right, the latest looks are far sleeker and slimmer which is a good thing for you! Gobble them up, a good boot is timeless!

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 🥵

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.

I’ve been raving about my Printfresh pajamas for years, my family also wanted to try them. Thank you Printfresh for gifting these for our annual three generation girls’ getaway to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We had a great time and being all matchy matchy in our pajamas was a fun addition! 🐅🍃🥰
