[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's simple. For winter, you'll need at least one pair of dark blue skinny jeans and one "modern" fit tailored to the ankle. At least one pair of tall boots (but preferably three pairs in black, cognac, and grey) and one pair of black ankle boots. Pair with white or subtly patterned button down shirts and cashmere sweaters on top. Dress up with a Ralph Lauren blazer. Flats (Tory Burch or Cole Haan) for fall and spring. Jack Roger sandals , Tory Burrch, and Lily Pulitzer for summer. [/quote]

Tory Burch? Jack Rogers? Freaking Lily? Why?![/quote]

[b]Yeah doesn't seem like the moms gravitate to high end brands. [/b] A nice puffer is moncler.  I had a north face in high school almost 15 years ago!  If moms truly wear these kinds of brands I don't think you have much to worry about.  [/quote]

Those are the brands. Many Bethesda moms are busy paying for the vacation, the 2nd home, the 3rd home, private school, the 2 lux cars and they just don't spend that much for true upper designer clothes.[/quote]

There is some truth to this. We have a second home, travel quite a bit, kids in college, etc. I don't pay much attention to brands but tend to mid tier brands like the first post. No Chanel or Louis Vuitton here. Exception is ski wear where we do have Bogner, Kjus, etc.

I don't get the button down shirt thing though. I rarely see people wearing those. They are unflattering on many women. [/quote]

Under a sweater or a blazer.[/quote]

Don't wear button downs unless you're very thin with no boobs.
Also LOL @ the woman who categorized "Bethesda moms" up to age 55.  55!?!?!?  We're talking about mothers of young kids here.[/quote]

You haven't spent much time in Bethesda have you? I am 53 and while my kids are now in high school/college I am pretty sure I am still a Bethesda mom. Or will you come take away my credentials after a certain age? Many of my friends still have kids in elementary school (in Bethesda). There may not be many parents of kindergarteners in my age group but I do have friends with 3rd and 4th graders.[/quote]
