Mary Kay Kleist Wadrobe
Currently, almost all the female meteorologists all over the country have different forecasts but a lot of them are rocking the same look. The dress is A Homeyee women’s stretch tunic pencil sheath dress that sells for $23 on Amazon.
A meteorologist in Dallas was the first to notice how great a deal it was, so she posted it in her private Facebook group of female meteorologists across the country. Since then, the dress has been purchased by more than 50 meteorologists and worn it on air.
Mary Kleist hasn’t bought the dress yet but she says “, “if it fits right and it’s only 23 dollars, I have to try it.”
“We can only wear things once every couple of months because it’s your whole body (on the air) and people really remember it if (your outfit) is really bold or stands out so it can be hard to build a wardrobe at a decent price,” Kleist says.
