[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not talking about "DC" stylish a la Tory Burch or South Moon Under or fresh from some Tyson's shopping spree! Like, obviously not from around here or been here long super chic style. There's a mother I see at my DC's school who's style is just really, really chic and I don't think she's actually more than 4 or 5 years younger than me (I am 35, so she's late 20s or early 30s) but without the kid walking along next to her she could easily look like she stepped out of one of those New York Fashion Week street snaps I always see on Pinterest!! Granted, I think they just moved here from LA and I think they are international.... honestly, I see her and I think to myself, I am wearing all J.Crew and I hate myself![/quote] I think two things... 1) She hasn't lived in the area very long and 2) "what a fuckin' idiot." - seriously, if a women moves to DC and can't pick up that this isn't a town for high fashion than she must be dumb as rocks. It's DC. You aren't going anywhere cool, hip or interesting nor is anyone else. DC is not a fashion town. It is a tiny city bordered by suburbs. [/quote] Agree. Being "stylish" whatever that means signals you don't know what you're doing here. This is place where brains and connections and what you can do, not how you look matters. [/quote] You both seem to have some unresolved anger and insecurity issues. Remind me of the angry women on the WOHM v/s SAHM threads and the ones on the recent hand me downs thread. Perhaps you should focus more on your job or connections or bob cut and not so much on passing judgement on those that don't fit your glorified D.C. mold. Didn't see the sign entering D.C. that you must conform to ugly attire to reside here. But maybe you can use your connections to get that law passed to make yourself feel less ugly. [/quote]
