Happy November 5, the Day after Elections! Political phone calls and junk mail will cease and that’s a win for everyone. Personal opinions and shopping scandals aside, the campaign season gave us the pleasure of seeing four grown up women portray American sportswear and define femininity their own way.
Michelle Obama
Tall and lean, Michelle Obama opted mostly for shift dresses and added interest with belts or jewelry. And, she proved that kitten heels and flats are just as chic as stilettos.
Cindy McCain
Being blond and fair, the standard selection for Cindy McCain would have been pastels. Instead, she opted for bright, attention grabbing colors in slim silhouettes so as not to overwhelm her frame.
Jill Biden
Jill Biden choose hip length jackets with pants that made her look leggy. Skirt suits with zip front jackets kept her style polished and casual at dressier events.
Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin went with strong shouldered suits that slimmed the rest of her. She created an hourglass figure with belts and waist details.
