Us gives the world the following headline: "Ann Romney Wears $1,690 Oscar de la Renta Dress to Presidential Debate."
In the body of the piece Us reports this description of Ann Romney's couture.
Romney, 63, selected a short-sleeved crimped cotton silk dress by Oscar de la Renta. The Spring 2013 design is not yet available in stores, but retails for $1,690.
I expect we are supposed to find it shocking, downright shocking, that a millionaire could afford to fork out nearly $1,700 for a frock.
And yet, "public servant" Michelle Obama's outfit was almost twice as costly as Romney's.
Obama, 48, styled a shift dress and cropped jacket from Michael Kors' 2013 resort collection. The dress retails for $1,795 and the jacket is $1,495.
Notice that Mrs. Obamas getup rings in at a hefty $3,290 while Ann Romneys is just over half that. So, why wasn't the headline about Michelle? Her cost was more shocking than Ann's.
