[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longchamp bags are super comfortable and fairly durable.  Invest in the North Face jacket- it's not that expensive when you break down the number of times you'll be wearing it and the sense of confidence/social assurance you will get. I personally find Bethesda style to be boring as hell but I will give you the rundown of what I would wear were I trying to come off as epitome of Bethesda mom:
Straight legs jeans, tapering in at the ankle (Bethesda moms are very no nonsense so flared, super skinny, or other interesting styles will not fit in.)  You can find great jeans like this at JCrew or Urban Outfitters has a reasonably priced line that fit like Sevens.

A couple of button down shirts.  (These can be rotated out, and bought for relatively inexpensively.  Obviously Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers makes the best button downs but you dont HAVE to get those brands- you can get inexpensive versions that will pass the once-over from all kinds of TJMaxx types shops)
Sweaters:  for winter, nothing is chicer than a very simple pull over in a neutral color like navy blue, black, or tan. 
A good pair of boots to run around in- should come to about the knee, give or take some inches, in a good leather.  These you will want to spend at least $200 on, maybe a smudge cheaper if you go to DSW or find them on sale.  No one likes imitation leather.
Pair of flats to rotate out- JCrew makes fab italian leather simple flats in a variety of vibrant colors, for about $100.  Or if you are cool spending a bit more, Stubbs and Wooten is a preppy stable that lately has been branching out into more modern. fun designs.
Longchamp, or a big Louis Vuitton tote.

All of these (with the exception of the LV and Stubbs & Wooten) are very reasonably priced options in my opinion.  Nowadays, spending hundreds on clothes is reasonable.  I subscribe to the French idea that dressing well is a form of politeness, and I always try to look put-together and respectful to whatever area or occasion I attending.

With that being said, this ^list is probably more Chevy Chase mom than Bethesda mom, but in my opinion Bethesda moms usually dress like frumps, like they raided the casuals section at Chico's, so I would never want anyone to dress like one.[/quote]

Good tips here. [/quote]
