Is she wearing stockings? I didn't think they were still part of anyone's agenda.

A Southern lady wears hose at formal events. Yes, even in a Washington summer. And Dr. Rice is a true Southern lady. Ms. Jolie is not a lady of any sort, to judge by her public comments.

Interesting and good to hear. I kept mine but have little opportunity to wear them. Everyone's gone "casual".

Well, I USED to, then I decided life was too short, Texas was too hot, and that I should show off the cafe-au-lait tan that I inherited from ancestors and enhanced by working my butt off in the yard. Plus, the cat kept ruining my hose. HOWEVER, if it is a formal enough event that I'll feel guilty about not wearing hose, I wear a really long flowy skirt so just the tops of my feet and MAYBE my ankles show.

I'm a southern lady. And I don't wear those things.

I feel that if anyone is going to judge me on things like that, they must have plenty of time to complicate their lives with such trivialities.

I don't have that kind of time. I believe in keeping it as simple as you can.

Do Southern Women wear hose as in Panty Hose or garter belt and stockings?

This DC native says, Right on!

This DC native is also showing her age. Sadly, most young women don't know beans when it comes to dressing properly.
