First lady Michelle Obama speaks to children of executive office employees in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Thursday, April 23, 2009, during the White House's annual 'Take Your Child to Work Day.'
Why are the kids wearing jackets?
They are starting to wear it...saw one on Monday at Nordstrom Rack! OMG, just an awful trend.
You sure are fast with that stuff. Hats offf to ya!
That’s the same ugly big bow blouse she wore when she took European fashion by storm!!!
Ever see Mike Myers as ‘Philip the Hyper Hypo’ who had to wear a harness?
“Why are the kids wearing jackets?”
maybe whitey stole the sunshine?
I think she likes and feels comfortable being a mommy.
By the way, we aren’t the only ones having an issue with “The Belt”: From DU:
6. I love these!
Now I’m going to get flamed, I would like for someone to steal all her belts, and never give them back!
This is coming from someone who wore their belts like that through a better part of the 80s.

11. Actually I lived in the eighties, and never saw belting used that way. I think it is a disservice to all involved for her to wear them like that. But, she does not wear the drapes, like Scarlet or Pickles did, and she is a wonderful, sensitive, caring, involved First Lady of the US and I love her.
So - I’ll ignore the belts, but geez........

7. Well, I don’t like that high waisted belt thing.
I love the first pic behind the podium....where you can’t see the belt!
Looks like everybody’s having fun. Love our First Lady!

9. I think this is her “Star Trek” belt that Barack makes fun of
She wears it well with other outfits, but I don’t think it works on this one. Love the sweater though...and her willingness to have fun with fashion in general.
Who heah know dere daddy? Raise yo hands now...
"Whachoo dissin' mah threads for? You mus' be racis'!"
For such a “fashion trendsetter” I don’t see many women copying her “look”.
Do women seriously wear a belt like this?
_____________
NO!
the argyle sweater and the wide belt under the girls
__________
what girls? They are MIA. Odumbo has the girls in that family. Moobs.
I have never seen a woman wear a belt in that way. I’ve never, that I recall, seen a woman wear a belt over a cardigan sweater. Clearly this is her “signature” piece, and her “unique” style, and we’re just going to be stuck with it, even though it’s both unflattering and stylistically idiotic.
I have seen teenage girls in similar belts. They general wear them low, below where their waist would be if they had a waist, around the top of their pants but not holding the pants up or anything ... just sitting there.
Yeah, a low-slung, sideways belt kind of 80’s style, yeah, but OVER the sweater, right up to the underwire? WEIRD.
Only the belt isn’t around her waist, it’s on her chest!
She does waer some awfull looking clothing, doesn’t she?
