The first ladies of fashion: Michelle Obama and Sarah Brown set the style standard
Mail Online ^ | April 1, 2009 | Tamara Abraham

Dressed in a cream embellished cardigan and green gingham skirt, Michelle Obama practically shimmered in the early morning sunlight today as she and her husband arrived at 10 Downing Street.

The US First Lady, who has been hailed by the fashion press as a modern-day Jackie O, was not clad in high-end designer labels as one might expect someone of her position to wear. Instead, the glamorous 45-year-old opted for a spring-like ensemble from American high-street favourite J Crew.

That is the worst outfit I have ever seen on a woman who has STYLISTS available to them. Good grief, who picked out that outfit?

I’m a jeans and tshirt kinda gal, but even I know that the outfit doesn’t fit her body type and it looks like it’s 2 sizes too small.

What’s worse is how OVER THE TOP the press is on how fashionable she is. That’s what makes it stand out even more is that they are so desperate to paint her as the black Jackie O, they have to fabricate things which makes you more aware of what she is wearing. I usually could care less what a woman wears, but when you write a news article telling me how MAHVALOUS she looks, I’m going to look with a critical eye to judge it.

I hope that makes sense.

Off the rack. I think Jackie Kennedy’s clothes were couture.

The sweater is too small, not the right length, and the skirt is too wrinkled. Outfit looks like something she just threw together. Lord only knows what kind of get-up she is going to wear when she meets Her Majesty The Queen.

Wow. We should probably thank her for wearing it. Imagine what she would look like without it.

I think the zebra shoes are just her quiet way of saying, “My husband is from Africa. You bastards tortured his grandfather.”

Her outfit is completely inappropriate for a state visit.

It's a fine outfit....but the way these “journalists” write about her and her clothes is just embarrassing.

They are trying desperately to create a narrative.....that is just NOT there, not true, and they know its a lie when the write it.

But, this is how the left works....they create a character, write the script, then poll.

And the public hasn't a clue.

Meeeecheelleee doesn't know squat about fashion.

Another one of the ugliest 'fashions' I've seen on a woman.

Let’s face it, huh! Our “first whatever” looks like next years sacrifice on Kong island!

Dead, whats wrong is they, unlike your female co-workers, are being heralded as Fashion Icons; Setting Style Standards.

That was exactly the point of my post. The press blows smoke up her ass for no apparent reason. She's just dressed like some lady.

They're dressed like any women in my office on any given Tuesday.

I'm really sorry, and really glad I don't work at your office.

Even if the outfit weren’t an embarrassment, with that gait, she looks more like the First Truckdriver than the First Lady.

Also, if she’s not going to wash her hair, all the hairspray in the world won’t help.

Good Lord those Brits STILL think the Obama’s are the snizzle? What is wrong with them?

Yeah, and then self-satisfied smirk on her face gives you the impression that she thinks no one will notice.

An awful lot of stretching and pulling going on there, stand back, something's gonna blow, lol. Reminds me of the transformation scene from the Hulk tv series.
