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:

The Congresswoman's outfit provides a good example of how to wear light colors in the winter. The key is fabric and texture. In this case, her jacket is quilted, giving it a seasonal look. This works much better than when we saw Michele Bachmann wear white in December.

Michele Bachmann speaks at rally against Senate health care bill

Rep. Michele Bachmann appeared at a rally on Capitol Hill opposing the health care bill being debated in the Senate. Although it is December, she wore white:

This is a great looking jacket, but it's completely out of season. If I didn't know for sure that this happened last week, I would assume it was footage from earlier this fall. I don't hold very tightly to the idea of no white after Labor Day, but the style is summery too, not just the color.

Also, notice her necklace - it's so long it goes below the podium and out of the frame, which is distracting.
