I like the acknowledgment and details provided by AOC on the importance of clothes and appearance. She uses her platforms in an innovative way and for her audience I think this is important information to share. I think we’ll see a lot more of this from her and other high profile women in other professions. Love it!
I recently attended an event hosted Secretary of the Army - the first female to be in a Service Secretary position. My first thought was - none of the male secretaries (ie: Air Force, Navy, Sec of Defense, etc) need to worry about what they wear to work. And every day, this woman has to worry about what she puts on. And her shoes - none of the men have to worry about walking into a room wearing 4 inch heels!
The shoes are always what irritate me as far as discrepancy. I’m in advertising and there are annual theater-style presentations for the streaming companies. All the women are sharply dressed, with hair & makeup, and always high heels. The men wear a suit and have the (in my opinion) audacity to wear sneakers or the “dress shoes” with sporty/rubber soles. It always irritates me so much.
This inspires me to be more intentional with the way I dress - or at least more mindful, and understand why I gravitate toward the clothes that I do. Loved this one. 🤓
Love this post, I am a big AOC fan and always think she is very considered. I am curious, Elizabeth, as a journalist and fashion lover what are your wardrobe staples? Have your style evolved as your job evolved?

I sure hope we see more! 💗

Isn’t that the truth ☹️

She is SMT. Love her thoughtful approach to dressing. It is exhausting for sure.
