<p>I read this a few days ago and I think the vast majority of the complaints about the female’s attire came from other females… yes?</p>
<p>MommaJ: That’s quite an assumption.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>In some news markets, their wardrobes are provided. They dress at the studios and have stylists assist…this goes for men and women. </p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Frankly, if you have simple clothes, black pants, white blouse, that sort of thing, people probably wouldn’t notice that you are repeating outfits every week. What people notice are the “wow” outfits or dirty/wrinkly/odd outfits. If you have some fab top, people will notice if you wear it again the following Monday. If you wear a simple white blouse on Tuesday, no one would notice if you wore it again the following Tuesday. </p>
<p>I am a shoe addict. l LOVE cute shoes…cute shoes, cute sandals, cute boots, cute shooties, cute footwear, period. I can’t wear the same cute shoes everyday because that would be weird. If I wore simple black pumps or simple sandals, no one would notice that I wore them a couple times in a week. </p>

<p>Hmmm, there seems to be a contrast between the above paragraph about women repeating clothes every week, versus men repeating clothes every day, and not being noticed doing that.</p>
<p>When we toured CNN, we were told the newscasters wore clothing from their own wardrobes. The woman newscaster had a very attractive outfit with spiked heels. </p>
<p>Af our local station, the TV news women dressed only the part that showed on camera–nice top and jacket with comfy shorts or casual slacks. It seemed discordant to me, but seemed fine to all the crew. </p>
<p>I feel like this issue belongs in the “Who cares?” pile.</p>
<p>Some women (and men) love clothes and mixing it up, some don’t. It’s not like this is new or news. I don’t see anything wrong with people (or the sexes) having differing opinions on it. </p>
<p>If you are worried about people judging you for wardrobe repeating, that’s your problem.</p>
<p>In the networks where I worked the on air talent paid for their own wardrobes but were told where to shop. It was much less expensive for the men because, as this newscaster has shown, the men could get by with a suit or two while the women needed several they could mix and match. Unfortunately for them, the women also earned less than the men, so their take home after their work attire budget was that much less.</p>
<p>Everything grooming related is much less costly for men. Now, a women can choose not to play but usually that is not going to be the best choice in an on camera position. There are exceptions such as Rachel Maddow mentioned above but being an exception is kind of her thing and most women do not want to be that, either. And, most newsrooms are not MSNBC. </p>
<p>

<p>I do not agree with this. A woman (or man) can go to the sale rack at Gap and often find a camera-worthy blouse for $11.99 or so. With a 40% off coupon and $10 off coupon, my D once bought a work blouse there for $.49.</p>
<p>saintfan I enjoy most of your pictures, but this one makes me feel sorry for your cat. In the spirit of this thread, are you trying out a different photo every day now?</p>
