But only Mrs. Roberts gets singled out for ridicule, for wearing a fashion staple. During the winter months, the boucle colors were browns and greens. Since early early spring, the suits became sherbert colored, and Mrs. Roberts strawberry version was lovely, ladylike, and very appropriate.
As for Mrs. Roberts' shoe color, any woman here could tell you, taupe (tan) is universally accepted with any color outfit, because it attractively extends the length of the leg.
And making fun of the children's clothes really exposes the ignorance of the writer. But then, she probably doesn't have children, doesn't know anything about what they wear to special occasions, and most certainly this writer doesn't go to church.
Even the poorest children have special outfits for church and special occasions. (A few years back, my daughter was a youth missionary in Jamaica. She was heartsick by the poverty and deprivation, but she still talks of how those people, especially the children, got all gussied up in their very best, to attend worship services.) A sign of respect, but then, this unnamed writer wouldn't know about that either.
Great post-and it's really no different than how they've hounded the lovely Laura Bush about her wardrobe.What's nice is that these women seem to be secure in their identities,and not constantly seeking some "look"(a la Hillary Clinton). They dress in an uneventful but tasteful and appropriate way,and go about their business.Some people are just that secure,that they don't need plaudits for their "fashion savvy". They're perfectly fine with dressing like ladies.
Thank you, you are right on. I in my younger years,often wore beige or taupe shoes with some outfits. I had a beautiful cobalt blue silk dress, and I wore beige heels. It was a smashing combination, and also added length to my legs. I had many a man take a pleasant look my way.
This family was absolutely beautiful, what a crock to attack them in this way. She is also a lawyer, if I remember correctly, and very smart. They are jealous.
They have nothing, stand for nothing and are nothing.
Your post 99 nails it.
Now I hate those sherbet colors and all that pink but that is the uniform. I myself would have worn something black or ivory but that is just me.
The kids were perfect. And did look like old money but I sort of like old money on the supreme court. At least old money implies a sense of tradition and the futility of bribing.
Mrs. Robeerts jacket bothered me, it seemed to big but that is just me. Nothing to get all het up about. And I like shorter hair.
