I appreciate your insight and you clearly stated that you do not agree with her politics. I have to say that I find this coverage refreshing. Taking the politics away I think it is remarkable what this woman has accomplished. Just like we say to believe all women we should also be able to appreciate all accomplishments women have made in general. Condolezza Rice is another woman I find interesting for everything she overcame. I do not think you legitimize her any less than a Royal Family member who could also be petty horrible. I am concerned about cancel culture and not being able to appreciate what a woman has accomplished even when I do not agree with her politics. You are a journalist and journalists report on the topic and the assignment and don’t input their own agenda. Thank you for being you and for teaching me, I find your Substack encouraging and I do not feel as I am the only one thinking these things or being afraid to say I may be interested in her clothing despite the harsh messages. You covered the First Lady so now you covered Haley. Seems like fashion journalism to me. Thank you Elizabeth!

I loved reading this. It’s a great study of how women/people use clothes as part of their messaging strategy, which as you’ve said before is kind of the whole purpose of SMT. This is the content I’m here for!
