US election fashion

raise your hand if you haven't heard that the Republicans spent $100k on Sarah Palin's makeover.



i think she needed all the help she could get.



but Cindy McCain.. i don't know. spending $300,000 on one night only sounds a bit absurd, especially during a US recession.



according to Vanity Fair:

Laura Bush
Oscar de la Renta suit: $2,500
Stuart Weitzman heels: $325
Pearl stud earrings: $600–$1,500
Total: Between $3,425 and $4,325

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

when times are tough, the innate stylish ones always win. Michelle Obama doesn't need to spend tax dollars on beautiful clothes. she may be in an H&M dress but she looks every inch like a First Lady.
