I realized I haven't done one of these posts recently. Since my summer road trip, I haven't been as click-happy with my phone and haven't captured as many looks but I'll try to be better about that. I love when I see what people wear for their day-to-day, and since a lot of what I wear are pieces I previously showcased on Wardrobe Oxygen, this helps you get a feel for how they wear, how they look after being washed, and other ways to style them.

This is what I wore to the farmers market a couple of weekends ago. I love this beat-up bent leather hat from Stetson. It started off perfect, but it has been shoved under plane seats and into the trunk of my car. It's been to the beach and on canoes and I can't wait to see what it looks like in a decade (here it is on the blog earlier this year). The t-shirt is Universal Standard from their FOUNDATION collection. It's fitted but uber stretchy and so soft and completely opaque. The shorts are from SLINK Jeans, they're old but these look similar. The plaid flannel is Karl's but this is similar. And then my well-worn Adidas Superstars (just bought a shiny new white pair for non-active situations).
Last week I went up to NYC to tape a segment for The Today Show. It's going to go live October 2nd and I am so excited! I took the train and went straight from Penn Station to the taping so I needed something that would look good on camera after sitting (and let's be honest, napping) for hours prior. I chose the cabi Python Blazer, which is made out of a scuba-like material that is super stretchy without looking schlubby. Under is the Soma Essential Tee I mentioned in this blog post. On my legs are these leggings also from Soma. And making an appearance are my shiny new white Adidas Superstars! For jewelry, I wore this necklace from Jenny Bird and this ring from REALM. To carry everything I used the Large Dagne Dover Dakota backpack.

Earlier that day I was feeling even more unwell but was scheduled to speak at the Howard University Business School about being a full-time influencer. The professor let me know the A/C hadn't been working and it could be super hot. I also thought I wouldn't be going home in between and wanted something okay for this and the panel and wouldn't crease and crumple before the evening. I chose the Banana Republic dress I wore in this blog post. With it, I wore my gold Jenny Bird hoops and my orange-red Rothy Points. I didn't love this look, likely because I didn't feel well and my heart wasn't in it, so I went home to change. However, this dress is super comfy and does hold up even when it's hot and a long day. Banana no longer has this dress, but if I didn't own this dress I'd buy this dress in an instant.
My friend Tom turned 50 and hosted a big birthday bash at his house. He had a band play out on the deck, and it felt as though the whole neighborhood came to celebrate. The evening was very hot and humid and I knew the crowd was a relaxed bunch. I wore this jumpsuit from Eileen Fisher. I don't own a lot of Eileen Fisher, while I adore the brand and its beliefs and the quality is stellar... the style really doesn't mesh with mine. But every so often I find something I love and this jumpsuit is one of them. I wore it with a regular black bra, the straps sort of blended together. The jumpsuit is loose and has deep pockets. There's a back zipper but I find I can get it on and off without having to mess with it. I believe it has some complicated set of washing instructions but I wash it in the machine and hang it to dry and it's been great. I also took this jumpsuit on vacation and wore it in NYC and Vermont. With it, the silver Birkenstocks again, my silver Jenny Bird hoops, and my black REALM ring.
