“Palin was criticized constantly for wearing stylish clothes, never mind they were second hand.”
Exactly. Sarah got hers from a consignment shop and was massacred by the media for the way she looked. She was gorgeous and well put-together, even second-hand, and the MSM cannot handle the fact that their females are dogs and ours aren’t. (Didn’t a recent poll show that conservative women are the happiest of all Americans? If you’re happy, you look good.)
Also, IIRC, Kate Middleton bought many of her gorgeous dresses off the rack, inexpensively, where the middle class routinely shop.
Remember how the press carried on during the 2008 campaign about how Moose-shelle shopped for her clothes at J. Crew and other moderately priced ready-to-wear shops?
And how wonderful and refreshing it was that she was able to look so fabulous on such a moderate budget?
Of course, that was before the Obamas got their grifter hands on the national treasury.
Now it's $12,000 blue canvas parachutes for Moose-shelle instead of plastic Klingon ammunition belts.
