This is from the same writer, Elizabeth Wellington, who admits she is a liberal:

Hillary:

She seemed happy. She sounded excited. She appeared hopeful. And that was all reflected in her clothes.

(Snip)

Clinton capped off the DNC with a sartorial symbol of the hope in America that Democrats tried to convey to voters all week. Clinton's message was upbeat. It was not one of sadness and fear. She took the podium confidently.

Clinton loves monochromatic looks. She's worn nearly every color of the rainbow. On Wednesday night she stunned in cobalt blue two-piece number. But it's rare we see her in all white. White is hue that's both soft and strong. But it was appropriate: Her acceptance speech was a coming out of sorts. Clinton's white pantusit is telling us she has arrived. This is surreal. A dream come true.

(Snip)

Most importantly Clinton's white suit told America loud and clear that she joyfully accepted the opportunity to run for presidentof the United States of America.

Melania

Trump’s foreignness stands in stark contrast to her husband’s “Make America Safe Again” and “Make America Great Again” sloganeering, which he plans to accomplish with his anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-Black Lives Matter platform. In other words, anti- all things brown, as some might say.

(That is, unless you have a speech to write: First lady Michelle Obama is clearly your girl, according to reports that Trump lifted entire parts of her speech from Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech.) It also should be noted here that dress sold out within a few hours of the speech, something else Melania Trump has in common with Michelle Obama.

So while Trump appeared flawless on the Cleveland stage Monday night, whether she intended it or not, her all-white ensemble displayed the kind of foreignness that is accepted by her husband’s political party. To many, that outfit could be another reminder that in the G.O.P. white is always right.

Four years ago, Republicans fretted about trying to diversify their base, in the wake of Barack Obama’s clear voter mandate. This time around, with Trump at the top of the ticket, it’s obvious that ship has sailed. On Monday night, Melania Trump was a not-so-subliminal billboard for what’s looking like the Trumpian view of an ideal America.

And if that’s the fashion statement she intended to make, it’s a very scary one.

Is the writer even capable of embarrassment?
