The two floral dresses that first lady Michelle Obama sported in Cuba this week would not be affordable for the wide majority of individuals living in the repressive country.
US Weekly recently spotlighted two outfits that Obama wore during appearances in Havana on Sunday and Monday that, according to a Free Beacon analysis, together cost more than 23 times the average annual state salary in Cuba recorded in 2014.
When the president and his family landed in Cuba Sunday, the first lady descended Air Force One wearing a sleeveless, rose-print dress made by designer Carolina Herrera. The dress is currently sold for $2,190 at Bergdorf Goodman, an upscale department store.
Later, on Monday evening, Obama dressed in a floral, knee-length dress from designer Naeem Khan to attend the state dinner at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana, Cuba. A similar frock from Naeem Khan, a Barack Obama donor, available in the designer’s pre-fall 2016 collection costs $4,490.

We think alike. Just finished 4 outfits for the granddaughter, from fabric scraps I had on hand, for under $10 total (had to buy a couple zippers, buttons, and the patterns were $1 each).
What happened to J.Crew?
Guess they’re movin’ on up.
I had a sofa like that in the 80s.
What do you have against shower curtains? MO has a lot of class and all of it’s low...and her taste is in her mouth.
That cost $4K+? Seriously?
She naively believes that expensive equals good taste. That black print is downright gaudy, I wouldn’t have it on a single pillow in a guest room.

Do you expect her to wear something off the rack from Macy’s as she listens to her husband lecture us endlessly about income inequality?

Honestly this doesn’t bother me. If she thinks 2300 is worth it, whatever.
The Dr’s who volunteer in Haiti probably have clothes worth 23 weeks of a Haitians wages or whatever the comparison was.
Just to be clear - I am in no way comparing any of the Obamas to a Dr. giving their time to provide medical care where it’s needed.
AND...who would wear a sleeveless dress in a downpour? I guess she wanted to show off her biceps. I can’t think of any first lady who would not wear a light coat or covering over a sleeveless dress in the rain. And it isn’t even Easter yet and you’d think her clothing would be more spring like (short sleeves) rather than what you wear when it is scorching.
She was married to a Republican president.
They’re both Chicago street trash.

Who are “ni%%er rich” on our money.
And in return for the societal destruction they have wrought, they will live better than royalty for the rest of their lives.
What was the line Obama used in 2008—
Something about lipstick on a pig.
I am so sick of this piece of crap and his wife.
Sweet! Mining my old work!
I thought she was just like the rest of us and shopped at Target. They told us she did when he was running for President.
