2...Don’t.
The crossed arms are a sign of disrespect.
2 - Belts around the waist are lame, unless they are to hold up pants.
A belt OVER her ever-present cardigan, yet UNDER her jacket!
And how about that appalling striped shirt, buttoned up to the neck. Gack! Does she even look at herself in the mirror when she gets dressed?
Oh well, I could forgive her atrocious fashion sense, but not her haughty attitude, expressed by the constantly folded arms. Apparently she considers the enlisted women beneath her. Unfortunately, military men and women are used to being maltreated by Democrats, so they will overlook her slights. But I shudder to think of how she will behave when forced to visit with the wife of Bibi Netanyahu.
THAT was a great caption!
P.S. Does anyone know why in the world she wears those belts with everything? And that color blue on the belt doesn’t even go with the other shade of blue! Can we hire someone to help her???
The woman should trademark the term “What NOT to Wear”.
Where does she get these awful clothes??!!
Same belt & sweater.
3—It’s not meant to be an empire waist. She meant it to be at her natural waist, but it crept up to where an empire waist would be. It’s wrong on so many levels, I don’t know where to begin. Hasn’t this woman ever heard of Tahari or Anne Klein? They make some great suits that look professional and can be worn all day without a wrinkle. They’re comfortable and last for years and cost less than that just that idiotic striped blouse probably cost. But maybe “frumpy PTA mother” is the look she’s going for.
Now, tell me the truth. Does this outfit make me look like a man?
I really miss Laura Bush.
I vote 2.
Let me see, I have a list:
Jacket - the lapels do not lay flat and are wrinkled, the hem is puckered and wrinkled, either it is the wrong size or the sweater underneath is causing an issue, because the sleeves are too tight on the upper arms and the jacket does not hang correctly. She apparently is unable to fasten the jacket, which at least would have made it appear a little more pulled together.
Pants - too tight through the thighs, so the crease disappears and you get that “cute” wrinkle in the crotch. I’m okay with this in very casual clothing, but not in dress clothing. Makes shopping for dress pants interesting.
Shirt - mitered stripes are very busy and the high busy neckline is unflattering with this jacket. On color issue see below.
Sweater - okay, first for me - cardigan under a suit jacket, but maybe its the new thing. See color below.
Belt - I’m completely lost on this one. Why belt the sweater at all? Especially under a suit type jacket? I have no clue what this woman is thinking when she gets dressed.
Colors - jacket is heather grey, pants are charcoal grey, then the shirt is blue and white, the cardigan teal and the belt yet another shade of blue.
I think maybe she just put on all her favorite pieces all at once.
I went to boarding school (cringe). We had courses in how to dress properly (according to the rules of that time). You had a point limit per outfit and you assigned so many points to each color, so many points to a print, so many points to each button on the front of an outfit, so many points to each piece of the outfit, so many points for each “decorative” element of the outfit, including belts, shoes, jewelry. If you accumulated too many points, you were improperly dressed. The system is good guidance. You dress your style, but you keep it within guidelines using the point system and you always look pulled together. If Mrs. Obama had totted up her points, she’d have made other decisions about this outfit.
