More Criticism of Bachmann's Attire

We had a post last week about Roll Call wondering about Bachmann's "retread threads".

The Capitol Hill Style blog has more to say about Bachmann's choice of work clothes:

When the weather turns hot and humid, the prospect of wearing a wool suit is less than appealing. Hell, even that sleeveless cotton sheath dress can look like a cloth prison once the mercury rises. But if you’re a working professional, what other choice do you have? You don the suit and head to your 9 to 5. Unless of course, you happen to be Rep. Michele Bachmann.


--snip--

Bottom line, I could say plenty about the matchy-matchy soccer Mom attire, but the outfit itself isn’t the problem. It is a disgrace that a Member of Congress would think that it’s perfectly okay to walk onto the House floor wearing a t-shirt, a prairie skirt and sandals. This is a governing body, not Woodstock. And given that the path from her office to the floor doesn’t require her to leave the air conditioned safety of the Capitol, I don’t buy the “it’s too hot” bulls****.


A comment:

I once saw Rep. Bachmann wearing pantyhose and Teva sandals. When we were in session. I died a little inside that day.


UPDATE: Decide for yourself:
