I still think Michelle was po’d because she got stuck wearing all those awful clothes.
Personally, I think she did it to po BHO. When they were photographed together, there's quite the disconnect between his suits, and her outfits.
OTOH, the fashion industry as a whole put forth the face that MO was the best thing that happened to it since Twiggy.
Why? Cultural marxism. If I was a subscriber to any fashion mags, I would have cancelled them all for their overly fawning praise of MO's [lack of] sense of "fashion" "style".
They should be thankful that the industry doesn't have another term or two of HRC's shopping at Fabric Overstocker's Upholstery & Horse Blanket closeout bin to further damage whatever credibility they might have left by having to praise HRC's 60s-based, antidisestablishmentarianism fashion statements, let alone dealing with a First Lady that has actual fashion experience.
