How many jackets does Hillary Rodham Clinton have? And does she ever wear them more than once?

I love coming across articles like this one I saw today from the Examiner.com. A little bit of fluff never hurt anyone and seeing how here at ATHC, we LOVE Hillary's pantsuits, this kinda stuff never gets old.

There was an article in the Style section entitled: Hillary Clinton power dressing: It's all about the jacket

There is a little slideshow and small article is below:

Tangerine. Navy. Daffodil. Cobalt. How many jackets does Hillary Clinton have? And does she ever wear them more than once?

The jacket is a vital part of Clinton's daily uniform for lots of good reasons. With their strong shoulders and lapels, jackets mimic the boys club and connote power and authority. Jackets are more comfortable and less fussy than dresses (important when you're on the overnight flight to the Middle East). They can be flattering, although not when the jacket hem falls at the widest part of the hips, something Hillary and her design team seem to be learning.

Clinton has not completely given up the geranium-in-full-bloom or solar flare colors she wore during election season (remember the John Edwards' crack?) but has increasingly migrated toward hues that are feminine and classic. Once in awhile she chooses black, the typical color of East Coast fashionistas, but bold colors are where she seems to feel most at home.

Hillary always looks beautiful, but i do like her in bright colors. I love the hot pink, the yellow, the blue, the red, actually every color she wears looks good.

She rocks her outfits like no one else! I loved the black suit she wore to England it was classic and elegant. She had the cute light pink shirt underneath and her heels were FABULOUS!

I love her jackets. Can you imagine how big her closets must be? And probably perfectly organized...

I've often wondered - she must have walk-in closets - big ones, but over the past few months I am also wondering where she puts all of her awards!

She can wear any color jacket - they all look beautiful on her. She could make an army blanket look cute.

She wears the same jackets more than once. I've been following her ever since 2007 and I've definitely seen the same pantsuits pop up repeatedly. A favorite of hers now seems to be the dark blue with the ruffle going down the front. Not that I'm complaining, though. She always looks nice.
