Features Clinton sticks to what works best
By Jen Gildea Features editor As Sen. Hillary Clinton said Tuesday night at her rally in the Mercyhurst College Athletic Center, "It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush. It will take another to clean up after this one." Well, whether she gets the presidential nomination or not, Clinton sure does take "cleaning up" seriously – in the fashion sense, that is. After being spoofed in the media several times for continuously wearing pantsuits, Clinton’s fashion sense has begun to broaden, even if it’s just in the use of color. "The pantsuit is the definition of leadership, experience, and change," said Kamyl Bazbaz, Hillary Clinton’s Erie Press Secretary. "Hillary is proud to represent the pantsuit because it challenges convention." At Tuesday night’s speech, Clinton donned a familiar pantsuit, albeit a flattering one. The bright pink color of the single-breasted blazer highlighted her facial complexion, leaving a glow that was only more enhanced by her mega-watt smile. Instead of a dated look, Clinton appeared modern and contemporary. The jacket was accentuated by a slightly "popped" collar and a nipped-in waist. Paired with traditional black dress slacks, the waist-length blazer gave a very flattering and lengthening silhouette. By wearing straight-leg, but not tapered, pants, Clinton created a becoming shape and profile on a woman who represents the average size of American women. Simple, classic earrings and a pink and black scarf topped off the ensemble nicely. The truth is, Hillary Clinton is not a contestant in a beauty pageant. Perhaps what ought to be more important than her day-to-day outfits is for what her campaign stands. Bazbaz summed it up when it comes to Clinton’s buzzed-about wardrobe. "I would hope that viewers would vote based on policy, not clothing," he said. >> Videos of the Clinton rally
