I just wanted to take a few moments to express my love for Wardrobe Oxygen. Allie seems to have perfected something I feel few “fashion blogs” have – talking about how to look great at any shape or size, without falling into faddishness.

What does this have to do with frugality? Look at her mission:

I believe every woman is utterly gorgeous, and can feel beautiful and stylish no matter her budget or body.

See, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Bitten line says this, too, but as I’ve argued, they can’t stand behind it. Allie really means it. She’s all about buying a few quality, classic pieces and personalizing them. Her Staples for Every Woman’s Wardrobe post is the best “wardrobe basics” article I’ve ever seen. (I’ve always hated Tim Gunn’s – every woman should have a trench coat? Seriously?)

An added bonus: Allie promptly answers comments, as she did my stupid comment on the aforementioned post.

Now, we all just need to take a moment to ask ourselves why it’s largely women who feel the need to be stylish. There’s your moment of feminism for the day.
