“I do think younger women have to figure out how to combine their own sense of style with what is appropriate and authoritative. Some young women think there's no reason why they can't wear flip flops in the office in the summer because their accomplishments should exempt them from a stodgy dress code.” ThinkingShouldReasonYoungStyleFiguresOfficeSummerDressesCodeReason WhyAccomplishmentAppropriateNo ReasonYoung WomenFlipFlip FlopsDress Code Author:Robin Givhan
“A dandy is a clothes-wearing man--a man whose trade, office, and existence consist in the wearing of clothes.

“Fashion is so close in revealing a person's inner feelings and everybody seems to hate to lay claim to vanity so people tend to push it away. It's really too close to the quick of the soul. Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world's view of us. Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live. Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.” PeopleWorldWayWantShouldPersonsImportantSoulFeelingsSeemsFormHateViewsFashionOfficeClothesClaimsDressesLaysWarmWhat You WantVanityVainTrendsRevealingTriflesEscapismImprisonmentInner Feelings Author:Stella Blum
“I've been to Washington many times over the years for stories, and it always seems remarkably the same. More the same than the rest of the country. It's almost like they dress the same as they did 20 years ago.

“Nobody dressed like my dad. When he worked at the bank, he looked like Richard Gere in Gigolo. And he would do it all the night before, laying out the suit he'd wear the next day.

“The love of dress is very marked in this attractive animal; he is proud of the lustre of his coat, and cannot endure that a hair of it shall lie the wrong way. When the cat has eaten, he passes his tongue several times over both sides of his jaws, and his whiskers, in order to clean them thoroughly; he keeps his coat clean with a prickly tongue which fulfills the office of the curry-comb.” WayLyingOrderSidesAnimalHairProudOfficeCatDressesCleanEndureTongueAttractiveCoatsBoth SidesWrong WayCombsCurryWhiskers Author:Champfleury

“The Oval Office symbolizes…the Constitution, the hopes and dreams, and I’m going to say democracy.
