Red Motorcycle Jackets? Really?

Anna Wintour's annual Vogue clothing budget was reportedly something over $50k as of 2003. Sarah Palin's seven-week RNC clothing budget is, wait for it, $150k according to Politico! (Well, that's the spending more like—maybe the budget is higher?) Now, she has to share that with the fam—and Levi's makeover story is worth something—and shops at only suuppppppper down-home/average American stores like Saks and Neiman Marcus.

Worse yet is what she spends all this moolah on. Yes, there's some "I'm Jackie O. for Halloween!" attire, but there's also an abundance of knee-high boots. With take-me-serious suits.


Now, I'm sorry: I always feel a little skeevy when I'm too lazy to put on tights with my boots, and I work in a place where anal sex comes up in meetings. SARAH: WHAT'S WRONG WITH A PAIR OF HEELS? ARE YOU NOT USED TO THE COLD, BEING FROM ALASKA AND ALL?

Pics from Politico too!And then, sigh, there's this. Rather than attempting to explain what this look is (besides shiny!), I will explain where one might wear it: If you were going to your 25th high-school reunion and had moved from a small town to the suburbs of a big city and realllllly wanted to blow the socks off the bass player you made eyes at in geometry, this would be an eyebrow-raiser. Fingers crossed he's a divorcé!
