There are only about 3 or 4 of the girls who actually look good in those dresses. Most people who wear them really shouldn't be wearing them. But, yes, this is the look.

Not bashing southern women, did all the women in the picture go to the same Lily Pulitzer store??

Dressing like that in DC is a fast way to get yourself categorized as dumb and not serious at work. It doesn't translate to this city's culture -- which, let's face it, contains elements of the northeast and has a big delegation of frumpy-but-super-intelligent people who disdain southern fashion. It's important to know your audience. This isn't South Carolina, which, bless its heart, will never be the nerve center of the US.

I totally disagree. I am from the northeast and I've never seen so many bright prints as in DC. I think it depends on who you hang out with and which political party. there are plenty of bright prints here to go around.

I have an urge to tie them together by their hair and create a Duggar Human Centipede.

That is almost certainly a picture from a sorority recruitment party. It looks like they designated Lilly as the required outfit for that party.

To the person that said of you see a white woman with straight hair and not frizzy/curly then it means she spent a good amount of time straightening it...you are wrong. I've never heard such a statement. I am white and my hair is stick straight. Does not hold a curl even if I shellac it with hairspray while it's wrapped around a curling iron.

I wear powder foundation, eyeshadow, mascara and lip gloss and it takes me 40 minutes to get ready including a shower. Bright colors. Good quality pieces. Mix and match color. Navy with everything. BUT it's not just about fashion. Like others have said, smile more. Be polite. Know your manners and etiquette. Be a lady.

That was me -

There's always an exception to every rule. And I believe I said "there's a high probability"... but in any case - let me ask you this. You claim your hair is naturally stick straight. But if you're like most people I know, your hair is not natural and hasn't been for years. You've likely bleached your hair at some point, or got highlights, or got some treatment done to it. You probably even use special shampoos or conditioners designed to keep your hair straight. With that in mind - can you still say that you have naturally straight hair?

Some of these outfits can be worn in DC:

None of those girls are attractive. And none of those clothes are flattering.
