Modestly chic: Michelle Obama dons a headscarf as she visits mosque on Indonesia trip
Daily Mail (London) ^ | November 10, 2010

Posted on 11/10/2010 5:42:06 AM PST by Zakeet

Her impeccable dress sense has been praised throughout the world.

So it was no surprise that Michelle Obama managed to be stylish and show respect to her Muslim hosts when she visited a mosque on her tour of Indonesia.

The First Lady covered her hair with a beige animal-print scarf as she toured Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in southeast Asia.

But there was a nod to her sartorial instincts in the form of beads and turquoise fringing at the neck.

Though her wide-legged Stephen Burrows trouser suit was simple in cut, Mrs Obama is never one to shy away from vibrant colour, and the edgy chartreuse hue was evidence of that.

She last wore the outfit by the Harlem, New York-based designer back in July.

Taking off their shoes, as another sign of respect in the place of worship, she and her husband strolled along a carpet laid across the sprawling courtyard together.

You and I are on the same page -— it’s not a secret that one is expected to take off shoes before entering a mosque - so THINK AHEAD! Maybe this particular outfit doesn’t work for this particular visit?

Why not a longer caftan style top, with coordinating scarf, slim pants, and flats? Or the gauchos that come below the knee? Or a long flowing skirt?

It’s not like the President and his wife are poor and on a limited budget with limited choices!

God, I hope the shoes she left at the door were heels. Otherwise, someone forgot to hem her pants.

The pants were hemmed to sweep the floor. See the link I posted. I don't know why she would want pants to sweep the floor..but she is an idiot. This necklace with this dress??? hideous combination.Probably around $1000 for the necklace http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/store/catalog/templates/P6.jhtml;jsessionid=JAKIB144R0FG0CQAAKNBPVI?itemId=cat318101&parentId=cat30005&masterId=cat000008&cmCat=&page=&view=all&filter1Type=&filter1Value=&filter2Type=&filter2Value=&filterOverride=&sort=&navid=viewall

The closeup photo answers the question, “What did Edward G. Robinson look like as a baby?”

Mosques...mosques...mosques! Have these “Christians” ever been in a church? Maybe a temple or synagogue?

Yesssss!! Compare this ‘look’ to her ususal- tight, with the bitty-boob-emphasizing belt. This is as close as you can get to the totally draped, body concealing hijab. It’s all droopy, drapey and even conceals the feet. Of course- going the full face-covering route would have been the MOST respectful( even fashionable in that animal print!) but the Husseins aren’t QUITE ready to be that openly Muslim yet. YET!
Wait for it!
