It's a match

Rep. Mary Kaptur appeared on Washington Journal this week to discuss defense spending. She wore royal blue:

You can guess what I'm going to say, right? One too many details - the ruffled lapel, the necklace, the House pin and THEN the earrings that match the jacket. It's time to turn to Coco Chanel: before you leave the house, take one thing off.

Her lipstick is great, though. It's a rich color for day, but it works because her lips aren't super full.

Kaptur questions Geithner on AIG bailout

Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio questioned Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on the AIG bailout at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last month. She wore winter white:
