Hillary Clinton will celebrate her 61st birthday on Monday, October 26th.

That's 61 years of hard work, tough breaks, heartaches, and some great political gigs, mind you.

And while Hillary isn't exactly known for being stylish, her personal style has still been a topic of discussion for many years.

So in honor of her impressive career and years of enduring public scrutiny, we took a look back at her infamous fashion choices.

From the braided headbands and boxy pantsuits of the '90s to a few more modern choices, here are Hillary's best and worst style moments:

Hillary Clinton Style Evolution
Hillary Clinton may not be a style icon, but her fashion choices certainly get their fair share of comments from the public. Take a look back at some of her best and worst looks throughout the years.

Hillary Clinton Style Evolution

    In 1965, Hillary Clinton was a high school student at Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois. Since then, she's weathered White House scandals, run for president, and taken a seat in the U.S. Senate. Here, we take a look back at her political and personal style throughout the years.

    June 11, 1969
    Hillary Rodham was a class leader at Wellesley College in the '60s. During this iconic time in history when Woodstock, the Vietnam war, and peace, love, and rock 'n roll ruled pop culture, Hillary remained rooted in her own style. She passed on mini skirts and hippie fringe, preferring a simple collared shirt, striped pants, and sandals instead. We'd love to see Hill in something sexier during her youth, but her conservative look certainly supports her serious social agenda as a student activist.

    October 1, 1992
    Years later, at a rally during Bill Clinton's run for president, Hillary wears a conservative blue skirt and top with a strand of pearls. Her haircut--a shoulder-grazing bob with bangs--became an instant hit with women across America.

    January 20, 1993
    At the Kennedy Center's inaugural ball in 1993, Hillary wears a deep purple gown with sheer, long sleeves. Never one to flaunt her curves, Hillary usually chooses to stay covered up at public events.

    August 24, 1993
    Bill, Hillary, and daughter Chelsea prepare for a cruise with the Kennedy family in Martha's Vineyard. While Michelle Obama generated buzz (both positive and negative) for bearing her legs in shorts on a similar trip in 2009, Hillary's conservative outfit didn't cause a stir back in 1993.

    April 22, 1994
    During a news conference on the Whitewater land deal, Hillary addresses the press in a pink twinset. The cotton-candy look is a bit cloying, but it was the '90s after all.

    September 27, 1994
    Bill and Hillary host a formal dinner at the White House. Hillary departs from her usual royal blues and purples for a bright red gown. We only wish she had the nerve to lose the sheer sleeves and wear it as a strapless sweetheart dress instead!

    December 25, 1994
    Hillary departs church on Christmas morning after services with her family. She wears moderate heels, sheer pantyhose, and a simple suit, along with her signature headband.

    June 1, 1995
    Hillary matches one of her infamous twisted cable headbands to a mustard-colored suit.

    August 26, 1995
    Hillary listens to President Bill Clinton speak at a ceremony for the 75th anniversary of women's sufferage in Wyoming. She looks safari-chic in an all-beige ensemble, oversize shades and hat. We actually like this look!

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan that she found at this web site Http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.

Someone should strap her to a lathe and try to fashion some ankles.
