Welcome back to the Starting Style from Scratch series: caring for your closet! There’s no point in spending a single dime on your closet if you don’t have the tools and methods to care for it properly. Quality care of your clothes and where they are kept will prolong their life. We grown-ass women know…
I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., which means it can be shorts weather well into October. That being said, there are some items in my closet that I don’t feel comfortable wearing beyond Labor Day, AKA the unofficial end of summer. If you’re wondering what you should or should not pack away…
I was perusing the J. Crew New Arrivals and was so inspired by the colors, the mix of textures, and the very wearable styles for early fall, that I began seeing a capsule wardrobe. Why keep it to myself? This is the early fall capsule wardrobe I created, inspired by J. Crew New Arrivals. J….
On Instagram, I was asked if I had ever written on Wardrobe Oxygen about comfortable and stylish sandals for us grown-ass women. While I have raved about my favorite travel sandals, shared the best brown sandals for women earlier this year, and am a Birkenstock devotee, I haven’t written about chic comfy sandals for grown…

Marketed as original espadrilles, high quality, and high style, I wanted to know for sure, are Soludos espadrilles worth the hype? As a person who requires wide width shoes, I have tried Soludos and failed, as I do…
I just got back from a family summer vacation up to New England, stopping in a few places. We visited hometowns, tourist locations, and stayed at a lake house. We visited Niagara Falls, did a lot of walking, some kayaking, and other activities. The days were warm, the evenings a bit of a chill, and…
