Hillary Clinton Channels Her Inner Flower Child in a Questionable Coat

Wait, that hippie chick is Hillary Clinton. Photo: Paula Bronstein, Getty Images

Hillary Clinton may need to take a style pointer or two from Michelle Obama.

The former First Lady and current U.S. Secretary of State arrived in Kabul, Afghanistan this morning in a floral embroidered coat that screamed 1969 (and not in a good way).

While we can see Kate Moss rocking this number with ripped jeans and tousled hair, we're not so sure bold boho works on the poster child of the pantsuit.

What do you think of Clinton's style? Is her coat fab and funky or should she hire a stylist, stat? Leave a comment!

Meanwhile, the current First Lady seems to be single-handedly fueling the fashion economy.

See which one of Mrs. O's favorite designers took home the coveted CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize earlier this week.

The coat is pretty, but Mrs. C is not a fashionista. She seems to be very comfortable in pants suits, which I can understand considering her weight issues. She does the best she can with what she has to work with.

What a refreshing change of wardrobe; the "uniform" pantsuit is not missed, yeah for some color. By the way, where can I purchase one of those coats?
