Those lovely clothes that vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin wore at the Republican National Convention last September -- some of which she bought at the Minneapolis Macy's store -- were legally purchased, the Federal Elections Commission has ruled.

The FEC dismissed a complaint by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) against Palin and the RNC, ruling that the approximately $150,000 spent on clothing for the governor and her family was permitted as coordinated party expenditures, reports The Hill.

A Palin spokeswoman said the governor and her supporters are "pleased" to learn that the purchases were in compliance with the law.

"The clothes in this campaign were treated just like the many stages upon which the governor stood and the hundreds of lights used to illuminate them; all were used during the campaign and returned upon its conclusion," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said in a statement.

Stapleton also railed against the media’s "obsessive" fixation on Palin’s clothes.

Politico had reported in October that the RNC spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74. The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.
