I bought a knit biker jacket from Gap last fall; when I saw they had a similar version for kids, I just had to get one!

She wanted to wear her helmet – but only without the foam interior…

Not sure whether she should trust Daddy with Mommy's camera…

At this age, you have to be quick with the trigger or you miss your shot!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Vegan Family Road Trip: Where We Stayed and Where We Ate

Last month, my family and I went on a 12-day road trip. We took a similar trip in 2019, but this time we visited some different cities. This time we were dealing with COVID, and also we are now a vegan family. Below I share where we stayed and where we ate on our vegan…

Weekend Reads #58

My daughter asked if this summer she could get a two-piece suit. She’s 10, she’s an age where she is starting to have definite opinions about style. We found a suit at Old Navy online that she liked; a top with a higher neck and a ruffle that covered the bust and matching bottom. The…

If This Was Made Into a Movie, What Would Be the Soundtrack?

We all have them, those soundtracks to moments in our lives. Multiple songs that remind us of summer camp, of senior year of high school, that one job with the really long commute, that weekend at the lake, that one year at that music festival. 20 years later, we hear it and are immediately transported….

Weekend Reads This week I did an Instagram Live with the cofounders of new beauty brand Flyte.70. Geared specifically for us grown-ass women, I was impressed by the products they gifted me no strings attached, and wanted to learn more about how these Gen X friends came to make the line, how they focus on…

Friday Favorite: ENO DoubleNest Hammock

Karl is an REI junkie. When you want to buy K a gift, if in doubt you can’t go wrong with an REI gift card. If he’s not home, there’s a good chance he’s at REI, he even worked there for a short period of time. He often comes home with the most random but…

Since 2018 I’ve been wearing this @talbotsofficial polka dot ball skirt to host Thanksgiving. There’s no need for a new look for every occasion; if you shop slowly and thoughtfully you can create signature looks that are perfect time and time again.

(We took off 2023 and 2024 due to the passing of my mom; this is our first year back at it)

A long skirt is great when hosting; you don’t have to worry about cute shoes, you’re covered up if you have to crawl under the table to grab a napkin or spill, and hello deep pockets!

I’m thrilled Talbots came out with a very similar skirt this year with the same fun polka dots; comment LINK and I’ll send you the deets (it’s 50% off today and comes in Misses, Petite, Plus, and Plus Petite!)

It’s not stylish or financially savvy to buy a new look for every occasion or every holiday season. I believe in creating a holiday capsule wardrobe of separates you can mix and match for a range of events, wear beyond the season, and look forward to pulling out again next year. Don’t call it wearing the same thing over and over, it’s creating signature style and that is incredibly chic!

This capsule collection is now on sale and from a range of retailers offering quality and reasonable price points. Everything is available up to at least size 18, with much also available in plus size and petite lengths!

Comment LINK and I’ll send the article I wrote about this capsule that has not only the ways to shop this look but also styling tips so you too can have big style with a smaller closet!

My legs laugh at most so-called wide calf boots. 16” is not wide calf, and why do so many have wide calves and teeny ankles? Why is it so hard to find wide calf boots that aren’t ugly, janky, or made of chintzy materials? I bought two pairs of the @dolcevita extra wide calf boots and share my experience. Comment LINK and I’ll send you my list of the best truly wide calf boots made from real leather or suede and are incredibly stylish to boot (see what I did there?).

For 20 years I’ve been providing real life style advice for grown-ass women at Wardrobe Oxygen. We all deserve great closets, and I hope this helps my fellow strong fabulous calved friends!

For those curious:
@onequince jeans and sweater
Prada glasses I bought at @lenscrafters
Vintage belt, @mmlafleur earrings

The only way I’m going to survive this season in life and society is to get fresh air and sunshine when possible, move this body, wear color that brings me joy, and find humor in the mundane. Dogs also help, even though Bowser looks embarrassed by my fall fig leaf action! 🍁

Vest, top, and leggings are all @athleta though not all new. Shoes are @brooksrunning Cascadia which come in wide width, sunglasses are @caddis_life prescription & polarized, on my back is my @dagnedover Dakota backpack which I used to ruck books to the little free library then ruck groceries home.

Eff that noise that you MUST toss anything from your closet to be stylish and current. A little restyling can give new life and a fresh look to anything in your closet, including millennial booties.

Style comes not from what you have in your closet but how you wear it. All these items have been in my closet a while. Instead of spending time shopping for new, I used that time to play with the pieces and see if I could create a new combination and give a fresh life to my closet.

What’s awesome is these same items are still for sale or else there is a new version this season from the same retailer. Hello shirts made for large busts, petite pants over a size 12, water and sweat resistant jewelry, and chic size inclusive trench coats!

Shirt: @theshirt_rochellebehrens
Sweater: @bananarepublic
Pants: @anntaylor
Bag: @onequince
Glasses: @eyebobs
Necklaces and circle ring: @analuisany
Coat: @universalstandard
Lipcolor: @merit
Sneakers: @adidas

When I saw this purple color at @anntaylor I couldn’t resist it. And hello petite pants over a size 12! For those who saw my video about dress shoes for wide feet and plantar fasciitis these are the red suede shoes I featured!

I’ve been a @zennioptical fan for over a decade.

It’s wool blazer season; that period of the year where it’s comfortable wearing one without a coat and not too overly heated inside to keep it on. I decided to have some fun with pattern mixing in shades of blue with a pop of leather.

Blazer: @veronicabeard (it’s one of the jackets you can add dickeys to; I recommend if you’re a 16 to go with the smaller dickey, above go with the larger)
Shirt: @theshirt_rochellebehrens
Jeans: @lovechicos (old)
Belt: old @talbotsofficial scarf
Bag: @onequince
Glasses: @eyebobs
Sneakers: @adidas

I love chartreuse, moss gold, acid green, and all those other greenish goldish colors big this season. Sure they look great with denim, black, brown, and navy but I’ve been styling the color with unexpected pairings and love the effect.

Sweater: @landsend
Pants: @loft (machine washable & petites over size 12 🙌)
Sneakers: @veja (old)
Belt: @anntaylor (old)
