Clothes That Work: Marsha Blackburn

By Alycia Kilpatrick

Seven women who always look professional talk about dressing for success—where they shop, what they’re buying, and outfits that go from office to cocktails

Congresswoman, Tennessee

Her Capitol Hill look: “Updated tradition­al—suits by Ellen Tracy or Elie Tahari with straight skirts or trousers. For warmer weather, I really like a pink light-wool skirt suit I have.”

What she’s buying for spring: “White shirts by Brooks Brothers or Calvin Klein, and I’m looking for a new basic khaki trench coat.”

Work carryall: “A brown leather Furla tote—it’s a good size for holding files.”

Signature jewelry: “A gold necklace or strand of pearls.”

Where she shops in Washington: “I’ll run into Filene’s Basement or Loeh­mann’s—I prefer to buy things on sale. After all, I’m a conservative.”
