I hate what you're wearing

This may have to become a regular post here, because every day I see someone wearing something that could be really nice and then they destroy it with something bizarre and hideous. Last week it was a woman wearing a lovely gray tweed suit and a nice black coat over it-nice shoes as well. And she was also wearing a white silk scarf that was so long it swept the ground-and she only had it slung around her neck, not in an elaboate knot or anything-it was bizarre and asking for trouble if she tripped on it or got it caught in just about anything. And today I saw a woman wearing a nice two-piece skirt ensemble. The colors were fall-dark purple, a trace of black, a trace of white. It was drapey and swingy-it was nice. Until I looked down and saw that she was wearing white stockings and white wedge pumps with it-it was painful to look at. I keep saying that women in Washington are getting better dressed and realizing that you CAN be well dressed and smart and people just keep shooting that down-the getting better dressed part, anyway.
