This is much better than her usual. I don't care for the neckline on her as a First Lady, though.

Her bowed legs and unlady like walk will always be with her. She will look best in long gowns.

Jackie Kennedy had bowed legs and it was evident in her White House Tour TV program when JFK was president. She, too looked best in long gowns.

I cannot think of any other First Lady in my lifetime (or before) who had such terrible fashion sense as Michelle. Her lack of understanding that NOW is the time to dress in a more mature and appropriate manner is astounding. And, yes, I wish this was all we had to worry about with this administration.

LOL!!!

There's a golden-oldie.

I can’t say what I really think. The PC Police would kick down my door tonight.

I think Hillary Clinton was worse, IMO.

I like the dress but not the necklace with it.

Looks to me like now that she has shown off the biceps and deltoids..she is all about showing off the traps.

I assume the top picture is just showing a shine on her leg? It looks like a run in her hose, but surely someone would have mentioned it before me! LOL!

[celtic gal]

Didn’t she say she does not like to wear hose? I bet she is bare legged.

Bigfoot.

Gosh, why can’t she ever keep her feet either together or in close proxity to each other? Why are they always so far apart?

You are right! I think I have blocked Hillary from my memory! She did not always dress beautifully, but she dressed her age, and things were somewhat put together - unlike Michelle.

I was thinking about such First Ladies as Mamie, Jackie, Lady Bird, Pat Nixon, Betty Ford, Rosalind Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and, of course, Laura. They always looked the part of First Lady, even when they wore casual clothing.

Michelle is embarrassing.

Nothing becomes a pair of bow-legs better than a dress that’s too short and too tight in the big “rump”.

[Swede Girl]

Where in the heck does she find all of her “costumes?” I sure don’t see most of her get-ups in the stores or even on other women.

I actually think she looks pretty nice in the brown dress...However, that leather get up is hideous.

I think the color is nice but I think the neckline is unflattering and inappropriate. A simple scoop neck or sweetheart neckline would be better. The pearls would draw the eye up and away from her caboose.

[Tax-chick]

I like the dress except for the neckline, which is embarassing.

when tall women constantly lower their head it is not an attractive sight to bare the shoulders and neck...she can look like a turtle......her bare arms are a much better choice.
