Oh, and to add one more thing, I personally liked both of Michelle’s outfits yesterday and could see myself wearing dresses quite similar. FLAME AWAY!
The yellow dress with green gloves and shoes looked like something out of the 60's without the pill box hat - but in 20/30 degree weather the coat should have closed down the front to give her some protection from the elements.
The ball gown would have been fine without the puffy things which someone correctly claimed made it look like a chenille bedspread.
But I'm sure you would have been lovely in the outfit - although I doubt fashion editors would have been so kind as to call you "forward thinking" or "bold"...they would have been saying exactly what we are saying today - hideous and bad choices.
