***does laura's dress/coat outfit look a little english, and almost by definition, a little dowdy? just asking. she looked great yesterday. this outfit was a bit disappointing. ***

Hate to criticize, but I agree with you. But her beautiful smile makes everything at least look OK on her. Guess since the war is going OK, the economy is looking better, the Dem, candidates don't have anything to talk about, she graciously decided to GIVE them something to be critical of so they didn't hurt themselves trying to come up with something. :-)

I think Laura may wear the fabric of the country she's visiting. SIlk in the orient, wool tweed in Great Britain. It's her way of complementing her hosts.
