"When Sarah Palin hit the campaign trail in 2008, her wardrobe caused quite a stir--more for its whopping $150,000 price tag than anything else--but Bristol Palin seems to think Republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann is biting her mom&amp;#x27;s style. The Minnesota congresswoman turned presidential hopeful has recently taken to the campaign trail in the accepted uniform for female politicians--tailored jackets, neutral colors, and understated accessories--but Bristol seems to think it looks a little too familiar. &amp;quot;I think she dresses a lot like my mom,&amp;quot; she told PopEater.com. &amp;quot;But a lot, a lot of women have done that the last few years. I do think it&amp;#x27;s odd, you know, seeing people with red blazers with their hair up with glasses. I don&amp;#x27;t know if she&amp;#x27;s wearing glasses but you want to be hummmm, do you think that people don&amp;#x27;t notice you&amp;#x27;re dressing like my mom?&amp;quot; With all due respect to the Palins...really!? There are only so many variations a woman can wear while politicking, especially if she wants to be taken seriously. Drawing attention to your appearance is usually a no-no, so subtle suits and classic pearls seem like a no-brainer. Sure, Sarah Palin&amp;#x27;s campaign wardrobe garnered more attention than most, but that had more to do with the price tags than it did with any sort of originality or noteworthiness. In short, she hardly created the paradigm for the modern political wardrobe (if anything, we&amp;#x27;d bestow that title on Hillary Clinton--remember that rainbow of pantsuits?). What do you ladies make of Bristol&amp;#x27;s claim that Michelle Bachmann is trying to dress like her mom? Do you see the similarities, or do you think it&amp;#x27;s just a lot of hullaballoo over nothing? Discuss! More Ways to Get Glamour: NEW! Now You Can Read Glamour on Flipboard!
