I'd read on a thread last night that Bambi kept stepping on her gown. After seeing this full-length picture, I can understand why. It's way too long. They must have used a King-sized Chenille bedspread.
I’m with you on the simple straight dresses and suits in jewel tones. She does strong line and color well. Needs something to downplay the hips and thighs.
She doesn’t do ‘feminine’ well. Last nights bedspread and today’s church frock were wrong choices! They go against type.
Please add me to the ping list... with her taste in clothes this is going to be fun to watch
InStyle magazine Fashion Director Hal Rubenstein appreciates Obama's straightforward approach to fashion.
"People tend to think classic looks are synonymous with boring, but they're not," he explains. "Michelle Obama has a specific style that works for her. She has a lady-like approach to style that is elegant and inspiring.GAG
"What we'll see as a result is this idea of looking put-together and sophisticated, as opposed to being daring or flamboyant. It's all about looking polished, like you know what you're doing."

You are added, Amanda King! :-)
I’m not getting any work done this afternoon! :-)
I'm thinking of wearing those drapes to the next formal dinner, Laura.
You are added, DieNarrin! :-)
Bill: "Hey, Michelle! Didn't you get the memo we were goin' to church?"
It reminds me of a scene from the series Rome, at a party where someone comments to Atia of the Julii how pretty her daughter Octavia looks, and Atia says “Well, I try, but she WILL slouch.”
Well she does...sort of.

More than you ever wanted to know here: Mrs. O blog. (Please note, this blog is posted by an advertising agency.)
Venus and Serena got their overbites taken care of. They’ve really improved their appearances over the years.
Daggone it, I gotta give Janet Reno some credit. That is a smashing ensemble on her. Quite appropriate and somewhat flattering to her figure. I would recommend some color up by her face, but all in all, yeah, that works quite well for her
I’m certainly no fahionista.
However, I am convinced that her attire is entirely geared toward making her monsterous rear end look smaller.
But that is just my untrained hetero male opinion.
LOL Good one
Thanks
“LOL, who’d a thought that Janet Reno could out fashion MO?”
Not me... but darn she sure did!
news to me!
she should be fired.
Do you think if we appealed to Oprah, she could intervene? I mean, I know Oprah hasn’t always made the best fashion decisions, but she could at least approach her....
Isn’t it scary how all the so-called fashion magazines and commentaries are all saying how wonderful, fresh, and feminine she is?
There was a Twilight Zone episode where everyone was afraid to make a little boy mad (Billy Mumy) or he would send them to “the corn field”...they were afraid to even THINK anything bad for fear of what he would do.....I think to even think anything negative about Zero and 1st Frump is risking being called a racist and the possibility that they may get audited....
First it was the drapes for the afternoon, then she wore the chenille bedspread for the inaugural balls!
