Talk about the Commonwealth the past few days has concerned the sartorial choices of our new governor, Abigail Spanberger.

Spanberger is the first female to hold the position of Virginia governor, and apparently the first(?) not to wear something called a “morning coat” at her inauguration.

According to “A Guide to Virginia Protocols and Traditions” (yeah, that’s a thing I guess), “morning coat” is the proper attire for such occasions. (Yes, morning, not mourning.)

Spanberger wore a white coat. And apparently not “morning.”

The horrors.

My friends in the opposition jumped on the opportunity to criticize. (Never miss a chance, right?) But let’s wait a minute, folks. Soon enough she’ll mess up something that’s actually real and let’s work on that one. Frankly I can’t believe I’m on the side of let’s-not-worry-about-what-a-woman-is-wearing-but-what-she-actually-does, but here I am.

Now let the criticism begin!
