Women in politics dress too frumpy!

Home Health Columnist / Guide · Apr 17

As long as neckline not too low, showing boobs or bloomers showing beneath short skirt, this Senior nurse doesn't care.. Competence, caring about and listening to US citizens concerns along with participating in legislative action more important than physical appearance.

ha ha! I thought this was chat was going to be about the made in China dress while we're at the trade war in China. Also, was the dress really made in China I wonder?

Also, same I wouldn't wear those dresses either. I think they want her to appear older than she is but... either way idc, I turn her off my screen after a few minutes before she starts berating any and everyone not MAGA

She is a shameless liar and propagandist. The cross she wears is a good shield for her intentional dishonesty.

That article certainly picked some pretty frumpy looking outfits for the Press Secretary, RitzyCinnamonRoll, although I usually see her standing behind the podium. Now with Sarah Huckabee-- I remain at a total loss. Yes, it's sort of frumpy, but one day she shows up in a farmer girl calico mini-dress and knee-high leather boots, and another day a horrifying cross between a mu-mu and a granny dress emblazoned with enormous plums (I think?)

I know first ladies are held to a different standard, but now I know how much Hillary Clinton hated the suit jacket and skirt. I totally relate to that. I see nothing inappropriate about her pantsuits. Bottom line I guess would be you don't want people talking about your outfit to the point they aren't listening to what you're saying.

I think they should be wearing white and carrying folding chairs.

Both are pretty hilarious, I have often wondered if they go to the same MAGA plastic surgeon since the the MAGA Barbies are starting to all look alike.

I wish we had pantsuits in the 1970's when I rode on the subway with hands up my skirt. I forgot how awful things were back then when we wore dresses and pantyhose to work...whether we were an office worker or a nurse.
