As the head of Thailand’s government, Yingluck Shinawatra is tasked with representing her nation, cabinet and party at public events. In addition to achieving certain political ends, looking elegant is another requirement of her job.
However, Yingluck came under fire this Tuesday for making what some described as excessive changes to her wardrobe. Critics of Yingluck’s behavior pointed out that Thailand was facing an electricity shortage. Wearing too many outfits in a matter of 24 hours would mean that undo resources might be devoted to her dry-cleaning.
Her Tuesday clothing schedule was as follows:
9am: Yingluck started off the day with a grey Thai silk shirt and skirt of the same color, which she wore to meet with Miss Grand Thailand 2013 candidates and officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Security.
12pm: After lunch, she changed to a shirt in pink and yellow stripes with a red skirt to attend the 23th anniversary event of Khaosod newspaper.
2pm: Yingluck adopted an energetic look with a white shirt, white jacket and black slacks to chair the inauguration ceremony of the One-Stop Crisis Center.
5pm: She was back in the pink-yellow stripe shirt to meet with officials of the Laos government.
6:45pm: Yingluck ended her day at the Royal Thai Air Force Day dinner party with a grey, floor-length dress.
