Hillary Clinton Tries Out A Barrette, Sunglasses In South East Asia (PHOTOS)

Oh, the Hillary Hair Chronicles.

We absolutely admire Hillary Clinton for both her professional and sartorial audacity. We've got a Secretary of State who can wear, among other things, butterfly clips, scrunchies, headbands... and barrettes! How many countries can say that?

Today Clinton is in Thailand visiting flood victims, making a quick stop between her APEC trip to Hawaii and an upcoming regional summit in Indonesia.

While bonding with children at a Bangkok evacuation center, Hillary brightened everyone's day in a lime green jacket and burnished gold accessories.

She also maintained a no-fuss hairstyle by clipping her blonde strands back with a black frilly barrette. It was a similar, if not identical, look to the back scruchie-esque style she tried on Monday, when she experienced a hilarious surprise during a diplomatic photo-op.

The barrette is functional, for sure, but we have to say we most prefer Hillary's hair down loose. We got our wish later, when Hillary departed Thailand and touched down in Bali with her hair down and her shades on. Looking fly, Secretary!

Check out Hillary's funky accessories and tell us: do you like this look?

Hillary looks more beautiful as time goes by. I love her long hair. I wish she was running for President.

She continually looks older and older with her strange long hair! Please hire a new hair dresser and look your professional part.

The pulled-back hair is appropriate and that is all it needs to be. She is presentable and professional-looking.

At Mrs. Clinton's age, pulling your hair back does not flatter. Nor does the perfect line of her makeup; guess they forgot to blend. She is a smart, talented lady and her appearance is not her chief asset; nor should it be for the position she holds.

SO ! She is still the strongest defender of the NEW DEAL at hand. Hair burners should leave her hair alone.

She looks great in these photos. I think she's really happy these days. The pulled back hairstyle in the barret is very flattering. I don't like the long hair down loose though. The lime green silk top is beautiful and suits her coloring.

Hillary is beautiful because of her superior intellect, combined with a down to earth personality..

She is Secretary of State. Why are her style choices relevant? We should be more concerned with her work on our behalf as a representative of the United States. When Colin Powell held the position, we didn't analyze his tie selection. Treat Ms. Clinton the same way.

Oh, but I'll never forget his very tight yellow-cake tie, such a stylish shade that week.

Cut the hair! She is too old for the long hair, it makes her look frumpy. Her short hair cut she wore during her presidential campaign was so much more flattering.
She is our Secretary of State, a impressive person, but the hair is so bad.

I have to say, I think Hillary over the last couple of months has been looking BEAUTIFUL, really pretty, I saw her today on MSNBC being interviewed and she just looks fantastic. Bill's a lucky guy.

What a great color for her! Love the lime green. I'll bet she would also look great in bright orange silk

I loved her hair during the '08 campaign.
It was strong, yet soft and stylishly flattering. If she has to wear her hair long, this is the best I've seen her look - pulled back and off her face.

Now, with that being said, she's a great role model for young men and women everywhere, and is extremely accomplished. I forgive her for how she handled herself during the elections.
