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........

13. It reminds me of those back-strain things warehouse guys wear Great outfit if she loses the belt, or maybe take it DOWN to hip-level....why is it so HIGH?

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.
Well, I suppose that is ONE WAY to look at it
