Dress for success – Here is the Palin way

By: admin on Thu 30 Oct 2008 1:28 AM under Business, Marketing, women

We have long heard the stories why dressing up for success is critical. But the Palin wardrobe malfunction – which cost her party $150K for her clothes and a lot of resources to respond to the media when this story came out, makes me wonder if this was necessary.

Here is Sarah at the RNC.

The question is: Is a Valentino jacket worth $ 2,500 necessary to address a nation under an economic downturn?

Does this signal lack of concern for people’s current economic situations?

Does this resonate with a woman who makes $2,500/month?

Does this cover up for lack of expertise?

Here is Sarah addressing a crowd.

Does this look resonate with the average American woman?

Why can’t her clothes be bought within a budget like in a household? Do these clothes make her look smart?


The lesson I learnt: Dress for success. But remember, it is not an alternative to looking smart.
