Robin Givhan: Jenny Sanford's Clothes Say 'Forget About It'

Washington Post:

It is only a detail in an outlandish story of adultery, lies, political death and narcissism that knows no bounds, but there is something splendidly defiant in the wardrobe Jenny Sanford, the wife of Gov. Mark Sanford, has been wearing the past few days. Her husband has spent nearly a fortnight describing his affair with an Argentine woman in the kind of overwrought and salacious terms of a Harlequin bodice-ripper. The wife has responded with calibrated contempt for his behavior, a grudging offer of Christian forgiveness, and the relaxed wardrobe of a regular at Canyon Ranch.

Oh please. This column is disingenuous. Is this really stylish and rebellious post-infidelity garb ?
What Not to Wear, TLC. Stacy London et al.

Maybe this woman grabbed the most comfortable thing in the closet for her photo op.
If this was a calculated fashion move then we need to go back to the closet my dear.
And while we're at it, ship Mark's boxer shorts to Argentina.

Leve the poor woman alone! She's going through hell and now she has to worry about what some culture-vultures will pounce on to make a column....her wardrobe! Gee..there ought to be a law to keep the creeps away from the bleeding. There is no sense of decency in our country anymore.

I think, by this time, there are probably quite a few things that show, as far as Mrs. Sanford goes, the marriage is over.

Ms. Sanford,

You have done an incredible job of maintaining your class in the face of a daunting reality. You are a role model for others in your situation. Thank you for maintaining your self-respect. All the best to you.
