Found an old post from an Air Force wife where she encountered Extreme Snottiness from other wives:
As I was paying for my groceries I heard "you would think the commander's wife would put a little more thought into her appearance before leaving the house."
I looked around and realized they were talking about me.
Thank heavens my husband will never be a traditional commander because of his switch to CA. I haven't worn make-up in two years, except for that one day at SpouseBUZZ Live. And I wear so many track suits I chould be in a Wes Anderson movie. Today I have on courderoy pants covered in drips of baby blue paint. They used to belong to my dad 15 years ago. I think the paint came from his boat or something. A beauty queen, I am not.

My wardrobe consists mostly of blue jeans and T-shirts, which I of course didn't want to wear to the hubby's promotion Tuesday. Yet he didn't understand why I was stressing out about what I was going to wear. I'm certainly no beauty queen either.
