Melania Trump Has Begun Repeating Dresses

Like nearly all the women who preceded her in the White House, First Lady Melania Trump has been on the receiving end of criticism for her appearance. Even before the inauguration, a chorus of top designers publicly refused to dress her. Then observers noticed the First Lady’s preference for foreign designers in spite of her husband’s “America First” rhetoric. And since then, she’s come under criticism for jaw-dropping sartorial decisions, including a $51,000 Dolce & Gabbana jacket that found unexpected fans at Breitbart. (Nothing says “economic nationalism” like a five-figure jacket made by Italians.) While Trump’s style has more often than not displayed an out-of-touch attitude, she’s now following a tradition familiar to most Americans: re-wearing clothes.

On Monday, Melania Trump’s official Instagram account featured a photo of the First Lady posing with White House interns, wearing a white, sleeveless Michael Kors dress that fashion observers have seen before. Trump wore the same dress in May 2016, when Donald Trump won the Indiana primary, becoming the presumptive Republican nominee for president.

This is the first time in recent memory that the public has seen Trump re-wear something, but the development places her in good company. The world’s most famous outfit repeater, Duchess Kate Middleton, is often seen in dresses, jackets, and other pieces from her archives. Former First Lady Michelle Obama re-wore a green Michael Kors dress, deploying it both at the White House and at a conference in New York. Obama even called out husband Barack recently on his ability to get away with wearing the same tuxedo for years.

Perhaps we’ll see more fashion repeats from Trump in more public spaces going forward. Maybe she’ll even wear the Dolce & Gabbana jacket one more time.

That’s because it’s inside out.

"...Like nearly all the women who preceded her in the White House, First Lady Melania Trump has been on the receiving end of criticism for her appearance...."

This is absolutely untrue.

The author is a damn dirty liar.

The fake press orgasmed at every single thing that Michael Obama wore.

Melania Trump Has Begun Repeating Dresses

OMG!!!

Movin' right along...

[exit82]

Reusing a dress?

That’s called “sustainability”.

[Rusty0604]

The important news of the day! :-)

[COBOL2Java]

Why can’t she wear U.S. made clothes?

Which ones would you like to see her wear?

[nickcarraway]

I am no expert. But I don’t understand why we always have to use overseas products.

[COBOL2Java]

I am no expert. But I don’t understand why we always have to use overseas products.

Do you use a cell phone? Name an American-made one, please.

[COBOL2Java]

I am no expert. But I don’t understand why we always have to use overseas products.

And I assume you watch television - again, please give me the name of an American-made one.

This is said remembering all those wrinkles on the wookie’s backside as she lumbered up the stairs. Bow around her ‘middle’(?), wrinkles, lots of wrinkles, between the waist and the hem. Looked like she’d been tackled on the way down the field.

Is this the dress?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Well, here's a wig that should have been one and done! LOL! (She used to wear it constantly)

[V K Lee]

No, in THIS one. BTW, note the silver flats.


This photo from Snopes. Yes, it looks as though she was traveling the field and was tackled numerous times. If you consider all we've heard re MO, you might understand the meaning. (H/T) Poor John Rivers, she died on the operating table for what reason? Just a statement? Vanity?

[nickcarraway]

You assume wrong.

[nickcarraway]

So, you are claiming, that everything should be manufactured? So, if a specific product is only manufactured oversees, we should only use other products from overseas, even if their are U.S. alternatives?

[Hoffer Rand]

Clear indication that Trump’s kids have run his companies into the ground and now he’s broke, he neglects his wife, their marriage is a sham, she’s too depressed to shop for new clothes and has started neglecting her appearance, because she hates life so much. Let’s see, have I missed anything? /S

[Right_in_Virginia]

LOL! Ah, yes ... I remember that number. Classic. :^D

[COBOL2Java]

So, you are claiming, that everything should be manufactured? So, if a specific product is only manufactured oversees, we should only use other products from overseas, even if their are U.S. alternatives?

I see, so you use tin can and strings to communicate with your friends instead of a cell phone. My bad.

[nickcarraway]

I don’t get your logic. You are saying because we don’t have any manufacturers of a specific product in the U.S., we should not buy products from the U.S. in cases where such products do exist? We should actually punish U.S. manufacturers? What country do you live in?

[COBOL2Java]

I don’t get your logic.

Obviously not. And you never answered my original question, so you prove to me that you cannot.

Name for me a United States manufacturer of cell phones.

You can't, because there is none.

Your argumentation is circular, boring, and a waste of my time.

Have a nice day!

[nickcarraway]

You need to read more closely. Yes, there are no U.S. cell phone manufacturers. There are also other things not manufactured in the United States. That's a fact. You act like I am personally responsible for that fact.

What I don't understand is how you extrapolate from that, that people shouldn't buy other products that were made in the U.S. Just because the U.S. doesn't make cell phones we should destroy the whole economy?
