Jackets in bright colors can be tricky to wear. If you're not up for Hillary Clinton-style monochrome, there is another way. On the campaign trail in Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren chose a bright aqua blazer for a coffeehouse roundtable discussion: http://youtu.be/T4M5VgaGJEc
This jacket brings a great color up near her face and breaks up the all-black look she's paired it with. The key to this look's success is its simplicity. The jacket is the centerpiece, with very little jewelry and no other accessories.

Warren suits up
If you follow me on twitter, you know that I have been looking forward to writing about Elizabeth Warren in her new role with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This excitement has a lot to do with her hair. Warren's signature bob is distinctive, flattering, and easy to care for.
Up until now, her clothing style has been, well, mostly professorial, even as she came to Washington to work with TARP. Turtlenecks, cardigans and soft shapes were main features in her wardrobe. So it was interesting to see that for the day of her appointment in the Rose Garden and subsequent interviews in the media, she chose a jacket instead:
This is definitely a more business-like look, although funnel neck hearkens back to the turtlenecks of the past - the high necks work well with her hairstyle in particular.
My favorite part, though, is the animal print on the cuffs. Not only does it lighten up the severity of the jacket, it lends a sartorial nod to the idea that Warren is ready to "roll up her sleeves" and get this new agency up and running.
