Top labels that the US first lady wears would cost thousands of dollars a month
Michelle Obama’s fashionable clothing has become something of a given in her five-plus years as first lady. Yet her wardrobe still is the subject of endless public fascination and one long-simmering question: Who pays for those incredible outfits?
It’s no small matter. Her high-low fashion choices mix everyday, off-the-rack fare with custom creations from top designers whose gowns can run into five figures.

Fabulous?
Somebody ought to pay, as in a lawsuit for criminal mishandling of wardrobe.
Fabulous Fashions?
Made by the Blind ?
That is fabu louse I believe, as in a bedbug or a tick, name your parasite.
Who Pays for Michelle Obama’s Fabulous Fashions?
Pro Bono by Omar the tent maker!
Life is good in Obamaland.
2.5 more years in DC, a gusher of cash from upcoming POTUS pardons, and a lifetime of luxury afterwards.
The "Little People?"
(i.e., the ones who pay taxes)
True, dat.
Somewhere a circus is missing its Big Top...
Coulda done better at a yard sale... buy the shoes and they'd likely throw in the rest...
you can dress up a pig any way you may care to but,
It still is a P I G.
Ringling Brothers...
I've never been a fan of those who pick on Michelle, but that's WAY over the top in the other direction. Michelle's attire appeals to me about as much as wearing a circus tent would; I don't in any way understand or appreciate her choices.
That’s a lot of Spanx

Clearly we have evolved since Thomas Jefferson occupied the White House. From the book “Thomas Jefferson: The Revolution of Ideas” by R.B. Bernstein pages 170-171 — “When in 1803 the new British Minister to the United States, Sir Anthony Merry, was presented to the President, he arrived at the Executive Mansion in full diplomatic regalia, complete with ceremonial sword, as was the custom in Europe. To his shock, Jefferson received him wearing casual clothing, including a dressing-gown and a pair of worn-out carpet slippers. Also Merry complained Jefferson had no respect for social rank. Instead of seating guests at state dinners according to rank, as defined by Old World standards of protocol, Jefferson decreed that everyone could sit where he or she wished.”
If only our Congress would exercise more scrutiny over the White House operating budget. Tightening the budget might encourage presidents to live more frugally, like the average American female taxpayer who will never see in person a designer dress, much less wear one.
Unfortunately, Congress stopped being concerned at all about federal spending under Speaker Hastert who managed to destroy the concept of the balanced budget during the first year of the George W. Bush administration. Since then, Presidents, with the collaboration of Congress, have been on a wild spending orgy.
Look in it.
That's the person paying for all her fashions..
The taxpayer of course!
Clothes by Calvin Swine-only a gate-crasher like Michelle Antoinette would wear that stuff...
“Who Pays for Michelle Obama’s Fabulous Fashions?”
Who ever it is, they should ask for their money back!
