[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the posters here are denigrating fashion as anti intellectual which is not the case at all.  Fashion is a form of self expression which is a form of art which does require a type of intellect, just not the same intellect as writing a legal brief or doing surgery or whatever.  I would love to be fashionable but I lack time, money, and energy.  Something has to fall through the cracks and unfortunately it is my appearance.  Am I happy about that?  No, but I have learned to accept my own limitations and be happy despite that.  I can also appreciate another woman who looks good and makes an effort without denigrating her.  Do you!  At my federal agency I see lots of stylish women, they just happen to be people of color.[/quote]

I didn't see anyone denigrate it as anti-intellectual - just that it's not something professional women in DC feel *compelled* to care about, which is a good, liberating thing!  For those who do care, knock yourself out.  Women of color still face prejudice in the workplace so that's likely why they feel more compelled than white women (black men too generally look sharper).  [/quote]
