In the vicinity of the President, dress appropriately....
But not too appropriately. By all means, lose the flip-flops, but if you go for perfection, we're going to have to slam you in the Washington Post.

What pretentious ________.[Fill in the blank with your favorite expletive.]
I wonder what she would have found "appropriate" for five minutes of prime time television covering the historic event of dad's nomination to one of the highest posts in our nation?
After all, mom probably didn't have time to go out and buy something. She had to check the closet, pick out the clothes, get them dressed and get them to the White House on time, probably with not much notice. With the boy child saying something like "I don't want to wear those shorts".
Does the WaPo have something in their style book to cover this?
I love saddle shoes. There was a saddle shoe fad when I was in high school (late 60s). Girls looked really cute in very short plaid skirts and saddle shoes with ankle socks!
Ruth Anne: Thanks for the Necco wafers/Althouse blog nostalgia!
Wasn't Givhan the same "reporter" who slammed Katherine Harris' makeup in 2000?
Oh for pity's sake, now I've seen everything. For a television appearance with the President of the United States to honor their father's nomination to the Supreme Court, children are dressed traditionally and beautifully by their parents -- and get criticized for it?! Does anybody think this person would have slammed the Roberts family for their purported resemblance to candy if the judicial nominee had been a liberal, rather than a conservative?
Michael: What's wrong with that metaphor? I think it's a vivid image of overdone eyelashes.
