She got some flack, but continues to do so, and mixes and matches her hats and coats some. Wears the same shoes and boots a lot too. Now she gets praise more often then criticism.</p> <p>I read that Jennifer Anniston wears the same uniform of tank top, slouchy pants rolled up, and low sandals or flip flops most days to avoid paparazzi taking her picture when she's on her own time. Who wants to look at a zillion pics of the same outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/janet-yellens-repeat-outfit#post-1087138 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 14:29:22 +0000 Makrame 1087138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the discussion I heard pretty much&nbsp;centered on how women and men are still looked at differently even when both are in positions of power - no one discusses hairstyle or clothing of most male politicians. &nbsp;Although they did say that Bernanke, when he first took the high profile position, was criticized for wearing beige socks with dark suits (apparently, coming from academia, he was not aware of such detailed norms of business dressing). &nbsp;Once he learned to wear dark socks with dark suits, people stopped talking. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;It's more difficult for women, especially since there is no uniform to resort to.</p> <p>Florence, I totally agree, it is refreshing to see a "normal" pattern of behavior with high-profile people, such as repeatedly wearing the same clothes from a mid-market retailer, as opposed to a new designer outfit for every public appearance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/janet-yellens-repeat-outfit#post-1086834 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:11:34 +0000 Echo 1086834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For people to be commenting on her clothing, given the possibility that she could be in a very important position soon, says more about their small minds and lack of concern for the big issues than it says about her.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/janet-yellens-repeat-outfit#post-1086798 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:45:07 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1086798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Asinine. Actually, (politics entirely aside because this is not the venue to discuss that,) one thing I always liked about Michelle Obama is that she repeats outfits pretty frequently. Not only that, she repeats relatively inexpensive outfits frequently. I think it there's anyone on earth I WOULD like to see repeating outfits, it would be people who are making large-scale fiscal desisions. Kind of refreshing to see that at least in one area, they don't see the point in gratuitous overspending.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/janet-yellens-repeat-outfit#post-1086774 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:31:30 +0000 Windchime 1086774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, the ole double standard for men and women strikes again. Women have come a long way, but there's still a long road ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/janet-yellens-repeat-outfit#post-1086694 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:33:12 +0000 Diana 1086694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I had the same thought as El Cee. &nbsp;Nobody ever says, "The nerve of that Barack Obama, wearing the same suit every day!" &nbsp;And in fact, men like Obama and Steve Jobs are&nbsp;<i>praised</i> for having a uniform because people interpret that as meaning they don't have time to think about clothes. &nbsp; Don't get me started...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/janet-yellens-repeat-outfit#post-1086551 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:12:43 +0000 El Cee 1086551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting a laugh because almost all&nbsp;the male&nbsp;congressional reps at those hearings sport&nbsp;identical navy suit, white shirt and red tie... nearly every day.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yawn! (Glad the article points this out.)&nbsp;Yet someone has the nerve to criticize the very well-dressed&nbsp;woman at the table for repeating a classy outfit... once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/janet-yellens-repeat-outfit#post-1086541 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:02:42 +0000 Makrame 1086541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard this on the radio today - apparently some critics commented on the Fed Chair nominee Yellen wearing the same outfit twice for two separate occasions (separated by a month).<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://jezebel.com/fed-chair-janet-yellen-wore-same-dress-twice-upsetting-1464748047">http://jezebel.com/fed-chair-j.....1464748047</a></p> <p>Interesting - I would think that reusing perfectly good clothes is a sign of fiscal responsibility, not something to be snarky about. </p>
