I think that $3K is the amount I have spent on clothes/shoes/purses and etc. over the last 5 years maybe?

I think I’m splurging if I buy full price at WalMart!

I wonder how much she has “spent”/been given in clothing, shoes, clutches since Jan.2009??

Anybody? It would be fun to keep a running tab for Michy-O!

[Waco]

How to make a pair of shoes worth $2763. Ans, stuff $2730 in the toe.

Looks like a feminized version of a 1970’s Leisure Suit. But hey, as long as it’s her money and not taxpayer money, she can spend it anyhow she wishes...

[Marty62]

Even the DOG is arrogant!

[Bellflower]

The coat looks ghetto chic to me or maybe a new catagory, hobo chic .

[Bellflower]

And just where are all those reporters that criticized Sarah’s clothes during the campaign hiding?

[crusty old prospector]

No, we got taken.

Hope she doesn’t wear it to any of the Wednesday night parties ‘cause it might get dirty.....

[RJS1950]

Of course it is expensive; it takes a lot of lipstick to dress up that pig.

[Bellflower]

Can they really afford all the vast amounts of personal spending that they do?

[The Old Hoosier]

Wow. The press flayed Nancy Reagan for much less.

[Shannon]

3k? It looks like an oven mitt!

I laughed out loud. It really does look like an oven mitt, doesn't it. Hilarious.

On a more serious note, it certainly shows a major disconnect between the anointed first couple and the rest of the country. It won't be long and they'll be voted OUT.

Didn’t Captain Kangaroo have a coat like that?

[GWMcClintock]

Personally, I wouldn’t pay $2.73 for that thing at the Salvation Army! But who said ME-shell had any sense (fashion or otherwise)anyway.

[GWMcClintock]

I wonder if she’ll give all those clothes back to American people, like Sarah Palin was “encouraged” to do after the campaign!

[Red in Blue PA]

And we’re supposed to believe “they’re one of us”.

What a joke!

[ishabibble]

Sickening.

[PaleoBob]

She could have bought a “Bubble coat” at Walmart for 6 bucks.

LOL I almost bought one of those! I think it was $7.
