I'm in the party that doesn't notice. I couldn't even tell you what she's worn because it's immaterial to me. I listen to her, not watch her wardrobe for mistakes or missteps.
It's sad to see that she's being judged for her clothing.
I did notice the scarf one of the first times I saw her and now she is "The Scarf Lady" to me. I like when people have a "thing" that makes them them and thus easily identifiable. I hadn't even noticed a scarf. Tells you how observant I am! lol

I hadn't even noticed a scarf. Tells you how observant I am! lol A part of my job is doing team building activities with groups of people I have just met. I use clothing to connect name to person, e,g. Joe is wearing the Duke sweatshirt. I have to be careful with it when the day gets warmer and the sweatshirt comes off. I learned that one early on when I thought a new person had joined the group and she had just changed clothes at lunch.

Me, too. I watch daily so I can hear what she's got to say.

Funny, I was wondering where Fauci and Birx are staying because they are obviously working such long hours they are not going home much. What are they eating and who is buying/cooking it for them? I also wondered how they got clean clothes to wear for every press conference. Do they have wardrobe people who get clean shirts and clothing from the dry cleaner for them? I'm more concerned that their personal needs are being met so that they can focus on the important stuff, not what they are actually wearing.

I remember working with a middle schooler. She was dressed all in black with bright red accessories including highlights in her hair and painted fingernails. She had numerous chains hanging about. At one point she said that she wished people won't judge her for how she looked. My response was, "If I went to all the work that you obviously did to create a 'look', I would be disappointed if people didn't judge me by it." Further discussion lead to her and others to understand what is really meant by "don't judge me" is "Don't judge me negatively. Positive judgements are acceptable."

I'm more concerned that their personal needs are being met so that they can focus on the important stuff, not what they are actually wearing. I imagine they have assistants of some sort who manage that kind of stuff for them. I've been thinking maybe she wears the scarves to dress up her outfits so she can keep the rest simpler. One less thing to worry about so she can concentrate on more important things. Sort of like Steve Jobs and his black turtleneck.

It would be very difficult to give a press conference with a mask.

If you look at older pictures of her, pre Covid 19 press conferences, you’ll see she frequently wears scarves. It looks like they are just her thing.

But do they care? I don’t. Personally, I don’t price out what people wear. I suspect I’m not the only one. Actually if her clothes cost a lot I would be shocked!! Even my mom said they look like from the 80s. And I never stated that her scarves were Hermes. I mentioned she wears a LOT. Donate them!! To who? Why? Is silk making good medical masks? Are we having a shortage of silk? Did Joann's call and they have no fabric left, so we are now ripping the clothing off public figures?

I have always been that way. I just see things others miss. Why I don't know. I can remember the layout, the furniture from neighbors homes when I was a kid. can still pretty much remember the layout of someones home I have walked into once. why I don't know, its clutter I wish that would disappear from my mind. I don't do it consciously, it just is. But I can recall a lot of things like that and how they effect me. My hubs couldn't tell what I have on now if I asked him. Wish that were me.
And no matter what you say, in a world like today with everything on TV its optics, they do all kinds of studies on what people see, what they look for. How they should present to get attention to certain things.

Noooooo it isn’t. It’s her flaunting her wealth in the face of us peons. She should be holding press conferences in a burlap bag. she should be like others who think they are so rich that they are going to be hit over the head for a can of tomatoes! What ever is she thinking?

I'm sad to see this misogyny here. Yeah, free speech and all that. Women are always marginalized for their clothing. Pathetic.

Exactly.
My career was in a field where I had to constantly prove myself and be even better than the men to be considered average.
I thought marginalizing other women was long over and it makes me sad to see this is still happening.

Sad but it is what it is.

Did Joann's call and they have no fabric left, so we are now ripping the clothing off public figures? yeah - idk why she should change or go out and purchase a new wardrobe?? at a lower price point. She is using what is in her closet. I guess there were scarves there?

I really don't get why we are spending 2 pages talking about how this woman dresses. She's a nationally recognized expert in her field and we're talking about her clothes? We haven't mentioned what Fauci wears.
I did notice she likes to wear scarves. I figured that's her "thing" but I don't think it really merits any discussion.
I have also noticed that Fauci is not very tall. Should we spend 2 pages discussing that?

Are you just following, or did you decide that what you really want to say is better off being left unsaid?
