Sarah Palin Wardrobe Challenge

“SOME PRODUCTS ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD”

Kathryn Builds ENTIRE Wardrobe for the Candidate for Less Than $2500

After news broke yesterday about Governor Sarah Palin’s rather large clothing expenditures, a friend sent me an email, challenging me to build a complete, Vice Presidential candidate worthy, wardrobe for Governor Sarah Palin for less than $2,500.  Now $2500 is more than I spend on clothing all year, but she IS a VP candidate, not a budget shopper like myself.

The rules:
- enough suit/dress options to last at least two weeks on the campaign trail
- must include shoes that were of quality and comfortable
- the items had to come from stores that a Hockey/Football/Basketball/Baseball Mom would shop (so no Saks, Neiman, Barneys, unless it’s their outlet stores)
- the clothing had to fit Governor Palin’s personal style (the Governor loves her some red)
- Everything had to be quality and could be worn on television (which meant patterns, stores like Payhalf and F21, were pretty much out of the picture)

 

 

 

Primetime Debate Power Suits

Wardrobe Stretcher Jackets- mixed with the above suits to expand the wardrobe

Easy to Pack Canvasing Dresses

Fundraiser Worthy Cocktail Dresses

Hockey Mom Gear

Shoes: Governor Sarah Palin’s Signature Piece

- 7 pairs of shoes

Great choices! I noticed the Ann Taylor outfit in the upper left right away: I’d almost chosen it for my similar posting on this subject. (see http://www.kchristieh.com/blog/?p=1112) I love how you chose a whole wardrobe. I added clothing from CAbi, which is sold through private parties, but I know a few Republican CAbi reps. Also, I added J.Jill, but they’re not formal enough for most things Palin would need.
