Ralph Lauren Dress

[CdnCarrie]

Why do you care? I don't dress to please you.

I guess we have different ideas of fashion. But I would laugh at anyone wearing that done the streets of my city. I guess maybe in Paris or NYC it would fit in. Perhaps you have a much more high society lifestyle than I do.

Hope none of your DDs ever send nekkid pics to their boyfriends or you'll have to disown them. Which would be understandable, because at that point, they don't deserve to breathe the same air as you.

Well, yea, you can obviously never recover from that!

Im still looking for THE dress and jacket. I'd love it in turquoise!

I would love it in emerald green.

Sorry, unavailable at this time.

I would NEVER be that rude or disrespectful to ANYONE.

Yea, good for Pam. Doesnt she know her place? Once a slut, always a slut. Make a mistake and thats it, your life is over. Probably should just bring back the Scarlet Letter. Then people would know.

I love Pam. Why would you call her a slut?

 

[AustinTink]

Well hopefully (if I had daughters) they have more to be grateful than long legs.

And oh please on the Eastern Europe angle. Hard work and an education go further than long legs. Let NOT teach the girls in our lives that their appearances are the most valuable asset.

You are skating on thin ice here. Please don't drag people's children into your argument.

I may need to start a new thread now that we know Melania's makeup for the day!! I loved her lip gloss colors for both events.

Did you miss all the posts talking about the general "nod" to the style?

It's not because people are too stupid to tell the difference between Katie Holmes playing Jackie and Jackie herself.

I could not miss all of the over reaching explanations of "style" comparisons if I tried. I did not miss them I just think people are absolutely wrong in thinking the two women have any similar style. I did not call anyone stupid. I referenced an article that said many people are using the Katie Holmes photo and waxing ecstatic over Mrs. trump wearing the same color as if that is Jackie Kennedy. The comparisons have been so out there and strange that I thought it might help explain them.

i thought that's what you were getting at with your centerfold and B rate actress comment. Perhaps not.

Go right ahead. I guess we will never get any deeper than clothes and make up with the new First Lady.

Looking through the news, lots of headlines suggested that Melania "channeled" Jackie Kennedy.

Nope. I think she's genuine. There's nothing better than that.

Yeah, that comment rubbed me the wrong way too.

And for the record, the only thing I liked about that dress was the color. Just didn't care for it at all.

I'll give you an "oh please" right back. "Oh please, you have no clue what it was like to grow up in a communist country." Even after the fall of communism, around 2000, doctors we knew made perhaps $150-200 a month. Teachers even less. That's WHEN they got paid. Sometimes they went months without a paycheck, but they weren't allowed to quit. So yeah.....traveling the world as a highly paid model looked pretty good. Again, they tend to be realists.

My own DD does have impossibly long legs, but she has quite a good mind as well, and being raised in the US, she has a different reality. The focus has always been on academics, because that will serve her best in the long run. That is her reality HERE.

Two different realities. People talk about white privilege, but I think some here are being a little Western-centric and cannot fathom what it's like to grow up without the blessings and opportunities we have here in abundance. Either that or they are being willfully ignorant.

Great minds think alike. I'm not so sure this is just about a nice dress, ifyouknowwhatImean... There's really only so much you can say and defend about a dress. If we were talking about any other celebrity's blue dress, this would probably be a 1-2 page discussion.

I'm so confused. I'm not sure how a thread discussing the Inaugural Day fashions has devolved into Melania Trump's nude photos.

Regardless, this really did start out as a discussion about the women's fashions during the various Inaugural Day ceremonies. We discussed what they all were wearing - Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Karen Pence, Ivanka Trump... it just seems that the blue Ralph Lauren suit caused more discussion.

It's okay to not like the outfit. But, whatever your opinion, it was a "standout" dress. It caused a "fashion moment" - like J. Lo's green dress, like Gwyneth Paltrow's pink ball gown she wore to the Oscars, like Michelle Obama's rose gold chain mail dress she wore to her final State Dinner, like Kate Middleton's wedding dress, like that form-fitting black dress the newly divorced Princess Diana wore...

I don't think any political statement was made until some took offense that she was being compared to Jackie Kennedy - and the comparisons are not just being made in this particular thread, by the way. The Ralph Lauren dress being compared to Jackie Kennedy was all over the place - on the news shows, the entertainment shows, the internet, etc.

I don't know what kind of person Melania is or even used to be, because I don't know her.

But I can discuss what she was wearing w/o bringing her personality, activities, and politics into the discussion.

What I also find a bit ironic is how one of the beliefs of the current feminist movement is that women should be allowed to wear (or not wear) whatever they want without judgment. Recently, there was a thread here regarding Miley Ray Cyrus & her conduct, & the words "slut shaming" were thrown around.

I could not miss all of the over reaching explanations of "style" comparisons if I tried. I did not miss them I just think people are absolutely wrong in thinking the two women have any similar style. I did not call anyone stupid. I referenced an article that said many people are using the Katie Holmes photo and waxing ecstatic over Mrs. trump wearing the same color as if that is Jackie Kennedy. The comparisons have been so out there and strange that I thought it might help explain them.

I don't think anyone here needs that explained, though, because I don't think anyone here compared Mrs. Trump to Katie Holmes.

I think the poster was referring to the fact that Melania isn't exactly a deep issue, intellectual type. Seems very vapid and superficial.Not about the no politics rule.

You are skating on thin ice here. Please don't drag people's children into your argument.

It was meant to be a harsh dose of reality. What are some of these posters going to do the day their children make a mistake? And SOME will. Kids do stupid things. We teach them better and they still mess up. I've known smart girls who send nudie pics. SMH. If you hold the attitude that a professional model having her photo taken nude makes her some kind of awful human being (and that seems to be what some are saying) then how do you deal with your DD sending a nudie pic to a boy? And it's easy to say it won't happen, but unless you have no DDs, it just might. Would you say about her the things you are saying about MT? Something to think on.
