The Broken Pantsuit
There's a blog devoted strictly to keeping track of Michelle Obama's clothing choices. It's more interesting than you'd think. Partially because the writing is truly good, but also because Michelle Obama has actual style.
There are lots of compliments I could give Hillary Clinton, but her fashion sense is not one of them. You'd think that after spending over a decade in the public eye, Hillary would take some of the feedback she's gotten and change the way she dresses. I totally understand the idea of ignoring things that are said about you. However. If everyone has the same critique maybe it's time to pay attention.
Hillary does not share my stance. Maybe she really digs pantsuits. Maybe she feels very attacked out in the world and views her pantsuits as armor. Maybe a guy she had a huge crush on in 10th grade made fun of her one day when she wore a dress, and ever since then she's hated how she looks in them.
Whatever the reason, Hillary forges on in her new position suited up in her pantsuit. It will be interesting to see if Michelle's style rubs off on Hillary at all. Will Hillary break out of her self-imposed pantsuit prison? My guess is that it won't, but that won't stop me from keeping an eye on the situation in order to report back to you.

It is interesting that Hilary dresses in those pant suits. Makes ya wonder why?
The problem with pantsuits is that too often the pants are the same color as the jacket. If pantsuits were designed so that the jacket and the pants were different colors (but tastefully coordinating), it'd be a much better looking ensemble. Plus, Clinton chooses pantsuits where the pants don't flatter her, probably assuming that it's the top that matters since that's what is caught on tv. But she should choose the suits carefully based on the tailoring of both the jacket and the pants.
