“Why can’t her dresses ever look normal, instead of gimmicky?”
She just can’t wear clothes well and she should stick to classic designs and take a more conservative approach. She’s very tall and seems awkward in photos, which may be because she is doing that tall girl slouch at the hips thing.
Plus she does have some weird tastes, she loves those wide, waist strangling belts. I’ve said this before here, but at the risk of repeating myself, my mother loved those awful things too. Now my mother was a very beautiful woman and the belts looked better on her than on Michele, but not by much. Me, I hate belts and I’ve always hated those.
I feel bad, slightly, for Michele Obama, the adoring media keeps wanting her to be the next Jackie Kennedy (who did have a bit of that French flair after all) and she’s just not cut out for the job. And my guess is this is probably a long standing issue for her, since her husband wears clothes beautifully. I honestly wish Obama had become a fashion model, he could have been a superstar instead of a destroyer of nations.
BTW, to me the dress looked more teal than emerald green, but it’s hard to tell on the computer.
I just love getting a chance to talk fashion on FR!
STEALING is what she is all about..
You nailed it on the Jackie part.
Part of her fashion problem is being married to a gay man (well, okay... a highly effeminate metrosexual, at least.)

Same here. Infrequent threads about fashion or male eye candy often get a lot of posts, thanks to female Freepers who are eager to discuss.

You said “conservative” about the Mooch......never gonna happen but it made me smile. :)
